Our client is a 40-person award-winning data strategy consultancy pioneering the field of Data Economics — helping boards and investors put a financial value on their data. They work with some of the UK's most complex organisations across Infrastructure, Government, Energy, and Financial Services. They need someone to build and run their commercial engine from the inside. You'll sit directly alongside the CEO and CGO — no layers, no quota, no commission structure. Just the strategy and discipline to help a differentiated firm grow.
  • The brief

    • Own the outbound BD activity across priority sectors
    • Run the events and thought leadership calendar end-to-end
    • Qualify and develop opportunities alongside senior leadership
    • Keep the pipeline tight — CRM, reporting, proposition development

    You’ve come through a management consulting environment — Big 4, or a firm like Baringa or PA Consulting — and you’re ready to move to the commercial side. You understand how consultancies win work and how senior buyers in complex organisations make decisions.

    You’ll bring at least 4 years in BD or commercial development, strong written communication, and the gravitas to hold your own at C-suite level.

  • Why it's worth a conversation

    • Direct access to CEO and CGO from day one
    • Clear path to Senior Manager and Director
    • Private health, enhanced mental health support, generous family policies

        • The Company

          Operating internationally, the company provides research and insights services that help businesses make better data-driven decisions.

          They specialise in market intelligence, competitor analysis, and sector-specific research across industries such as Finance, Asset Management, Private Equity, Tech, Management Consulting & Luxury Retail.

        • The Role

          A high-impact role for a researcher who wants real ownership – working directly with sophisticated asset management and financial services clients, turning complex primary research into strategic insight that shapes decisions. The visibility and variety here is what larger firms rarely offer at this level.

          With direct exposure to senior leadership and client relationships, the path to Director is clear and actively supported – ideal for someone ready to step up without waiting for a seat at the table.

        • The Candidate

          • Strong communication skills — able to hold their own in client interactions, answer questions directly, and present findings with confidence and clarity
          • Commercial mindset – a willingness to take on revenue responsibilities and grow into a client-facing, commercially accountable role over time

          Senior Behavioural Designer – Behavioural Science Consultancy.

          • £55,000
          Our client is one of the UK's most respected behavioural science consultancies — recognised by the Financial Times for three consecutive years and trusted by major brands across financial services, retail, FMCG, travel and utilities to design interventions that measurably shift behaviour. They work at a genuinely rare intersection: rigorous behavioural science, applied through high-quality design, at commercial scale. This isn't a team doing light BeSci decoration on top of standard UX. The behavioural thinking and the design craft are inseparable here. They're looking for a Senior Behavioural Designer to join their London team.
          • The role

            This isn’t a production design seat. You’ll be leading the application of behavioural design on client projects — translating research and BeSci insight into polished, commercially effective interventions across communications, UX, physical environments and service experiences.

            You’ll also be pushing how the team works: developing new approaches, contributing to proprietary neurodesign frameworks, and helping raise the bar for junior designers around you.

            Day to day you’ll be:

            • Owning key sections or full deliverables on client projects, from concept through to final output
            • Applying behavioural science principles across multiple touchpoints and sectors
            • Presenting and defending your work directly to clients, adapting your communication style to different audiences
            • Contributing to proposals and supporting the commercial pipeline
            • Mentoring and supporting junior team members
          • What we're looking for

            You’ll have meaningful experience applying behavioural science frameworks within design work — not just awareness of BeSci, but genuine fluency in how it shapes decisions and how to make that tangible through design. You’re as comfortable in Figma as you are discussing cognitive load or choice architecture.

            Specifically:

            • A degree in Design, Psychology, Behavioural Science or a related field
            • Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
            • A strong portfolio of conceptually driven, behaviourally grounded work
            • Proven client-facing experience — presenting, defending, building relationships
            • Experience across varied touchpoints and sectors
            • Curiosity about where behavioural design is heading — AI, motion, prototyping

            Why this role

            • Access to proprietary neurodesign frameworks and tools you won’t find in most organisations
            • A genuinely multidisciplinary team — behavioural scientists, designers and strategists — working on complex, high-profile briefs for major brands
            • Real professional development, not just a line in a job spec
            • A culture that takes the quality of its work seriously without taking itself too seriously

            Our client is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.

            Administrator (Part-Time) | Strategy Studio.

            • £35,000
            Not all great roles are full-time. This one isn't — and that's entirely by design.
            • The Opportunity

              📍 Central London | Part-time (~30 hrs/week) | £30,000–£35,000

              Our client is a growing strategy and insight consultancy. They’re looking for a sharp, reliable administrator to support the business part-time, with flexible hours that work around other commitments (studying, caregiving, or anything else that matters to you).

               
            • Why join?

              You’ll be working in a smart, ambitious environment where your work genuinely matters. Directors are stretched — you’re the person who keeps things moving behind the scenes so they can focus on what they do best.

               
            • The day-to-day

              ✈️ Travel booking and expenses management
              📅 Diary and meeting coordination
              📁 Document management and filing
              🎉 Events and team socials
              🧾 Supplier admin and onboarding logistics
              🌍 Supporting projects across international territories

               
            • Who we're looking for

              You’re organised, proactive, and comfortable managing competing priorities without dropping anything. You’ve done admin or coordination work before and you’re good at it. If you’ve worked in a research, consultancy, or agency environment — and especially if you’ve helped coordinate qualitative fieldwork — you’ll hit the ground running.

              Flexible hours, roughly 30 hours per week. Ideal for someone studying or with other daytime commitments.

              • £60,000

              • The Opportunity

                📍 Central London | Full-time | Up to £60,000

                Our client is a commercial strategy and insight consultancy at an exciting inflection point. Following a significant merger, they’re building out their operational backbone — and they need someone who can bring clarity, structure, and momentum to the day-to-day running of the business.

                 
              • Why join?

                This is a genuine career opportunity. You’ll be stepping into a business that’s growing, with real visibility and a clear path toward a senior ops role. You’ll work closely with leadership, across the full breadth of the business, and you’ll have the space to shape how things are done.

                 
              • The day-to-day

                • Resourcing and capacity planning across project teams
                • Freelancer management — sourcing, coordinating, day-to-day support
                • BAU project coordination and process improvement
                • Budget tracking and flagging overspend or missed payments
                • Vendor and supplier management
                • Onboarding support for new team members
                 
              • The Candidate

                You’ve got agency experience and a solid operational grounding. You’re comfortable holding lots of moving pieces at once, you communicate clearly, and you know how to prioritise when everything feels urgent. You’re ambitious — this isn’t a role you want to stay in forever, and that’s exactly the point.

                Experience coordinating qualitative research projects (setting up interviews, managing fieldwork logistics) would be a real bonus.
