This is a hands-on, technically demanding role. The core of the job is a large-scale, pan-European demographic data exercise, run twice a year, tracking gender representation across investment roles at a substantial number of member firms across multiple European markets. You will:

• Own data collection end-to-end, including web scraping of LinkedIn and other publicly available sources using Python (or equivalent)
• Build and maintain reproducible data pipelines that ensure consistency and quality across research cycles
• Merge, clean and manipulate complex, multi-source datasets to produce reliable, longitudinal outputs
• Develop and maintain Excel-based benchmarking tools used directly by member firms
• Project manage research delivery, coordinating with international committees, trade associations, and academic partners
• Produce analysis and contribute to report writing, working with an external agency on final production
• Support the wider team with data requests and presentations across the programme of work
• Identify opportunities to improve research efficiency through automation, standardisation, and AI tools

Essential:

• Proficiency in Python (or equivalent) for web scraping, data cleaning, analysis and automation — professional-grade experience, not just coursework
• A track record of building reproducible, systematic data pipelines — not just ad hoc scripts
• Strong data merging and manipulation skills across large, complex datasets from multiple sources
• Advanced Excel — complex data tables, quality assurance processes, and stakeholder-facing analytical outputs
• A genuine quality-control mindset and rigorous attention to detail with data
• End-to-end project management experience on complex, multi-stakeholder data or research projects
• Confident communicator, able to engage professionally with senior stakeholders, academic partners, and international committees
• Ability to work independently and take ownership without a technical line manager
• Genuine interest in gender diversity, DE&I, or social impact — this matters to my client

Desirable:

• Experience with data visualisation tools such as Power BI or Tableau
• Exposure to AI or automation tools applied to data or research workflows
• Background in or knowledge of alternative asset management or financial services
• Experience with pan-European data collection or GDPR compliance in a data context

• Real impact — the data you produce informs policy conversations, is used by member firms to benchmark themselves, and directly influences how the industry thinks about gender diversity
• Unique work — my client is one of a very small number of organisations collecting gender representation data at this level of granularity across European markets
• Intellectual variety — beyond the flagship annual report, you will contribute to international research projects and academic collaborations
• Technical autonomy — you will own the technical stack and have the freedom to improve and evolve how the team works
• A high-calibre team and network — collaborating with partners at leading academic institutions and major investment firms across Europe
• Permanent role with strong benefits including generous holiday, Christmas closure, and pension contribution
• Hybrid working from a central London office, with genuine flexibility

Location: Central London — 3 days in office per week, with flexibility

Contract: Permanent, full-time

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Start date: As soon as possible — my client is looking to move quickly

Notice period: My client needs someone available by early August. Please only apply if you are on 4 weeks’ notice or less.

Nicholson Glover is a specialist recruitment consultancy founded in 2002. We focus exclusively on four disciplines: Customer Research & Insight, Strategy & Innovation, Data, Analytics & AI, and Product & Technology — placing mid-to-senior professionals with agencies, consultancies, corporate teams, and venture-backed businesses. Speak to us: francis@nicholsonglover.co.uk

Our client is a small, high-performance insight and strategy agency in London. The kind of place where quant doesn’t sit in a silo. They’re a method-agnostic agency: strategists, researchers, data scientists, ethnographers, and designers all under one roof.

Roughly 80% of what they do is strategic. The other 20% still feeds something bigger. Brand architecture, strategic positioning, concept development. The work is genuinely interesting. The clients are household names. And the team is tight, smart, and moving fast.

You’ll support the Head of Quant and senior team across a portfolio of about three projects at a time.

All ad hoc, all different. That means:

• Running and checking data in Q/SPSS
• Managing supplier relationships and fieldwork quotas
• Supporting analysis, charting, and topline reporting
• Helping coordinate timelines, stakeholders, and client comms
• Contributing to brainstorms and attending client meetings

No two projects are the same. There are no templates.

You’ve got around 2–3 years of quant consumer research experience, ideally from a rigorous agency background. You know your way around fieldwork, data checking, and DP specs. You’re not waiting to be told what to do, but you’re also honest about where you still have room to grow.

You’re comfortable in a fast-paced environment where the expectation is high and the support is real. You want variety over repetition, and you’d rather work on something strategic than process the same tracker every quarter.

You’re not the right fit if you’re looking for a highly structured environment, or if your quant experience is mostly light-touch or not in a commercial sector.

• £32,000–£36,000 base
• Profit-share scheme
• 25 days holiday
• Hybrid working
• Health insurance
• Enhanced parental leave
• Wellbeing support

As a Behavioural Designer, you’ll work directly on client projects — translating behavioural research and BeSci frameworks into designed interventions that actually change what people do. That means working across communications, UX, physical environments and service experiences, applying proprietary neurodesign frameworks and a deep bias bank to produce polished, multi-touchpoint outputs.

You’ll be supported by a team of behavioural scientists and designers who take the quality of their work seriously. You’ll also be expected to bring your own perspective — on the brief, on the behaviour, and on the best way to design for it.

You don’t need to have been doing this for a decade. What matters is that the BeSci and the design craft are both genuinely present — even if you’re earlier in your career. We’re open to candidates with as little as one to two years of relevant experience, provided the fundamentals are there.

Specifically, we’re looking for:

• A grounding in behavioural science — whether through a psychology, cognitive science or behavioural economics degree, or through applied experience working with BeSci frameworks
• Hands-on design execution capability — you can produce client-ready outputs in Figma and/or Adobe Creative Suite independently
• Some exposure to client-facing work, or a clear appetite for it — this team presents and defends their work directly with senior stakeholders at major brands
• Curiosity, rigour and a genuine interest in why people behave the way they do

You’ll be working on genuinely complex briefs for household-name clients, within a team that has built one of the most credible BeSci practices in the UK. There is real opportunity to develop your framework knowledge, your design craft, and your commercial skills in parallel — in an environment where all three are taken seriously.

London-based, hybrid working.

We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.

Our client is a fast-growing boutique growth consultancy with a proprietary tech stack that uncovers the real drivers of portfolio company performance. They partner with leading mid-market PE funds and their portfolio businesses across B2B and B2C, and are building a high-calibre, collaborative team to match their momentum.

You’ll be a key member of project teams, working alongside experienced Project Leaders and senior consultants across a wide range of client engagements. Using data and primary research, you’ll surface trends and opportunities and help shape the recommendations that drive real business growth – with meaningful client exposure from day one.

You don’t need to tick every box – curiosity, drive, and structured thinking matter most here. Key attributes of the suitable Associate (Analytics) include:

• Recent graduate with a strong academic background from a top-tier university
• Naturally analytical, with a genuine enjoyment of working with data to find the “so what.”
• A commercial mindset with a genuine interest in business growth and customer strategy
• Proactive and self-directed — you’ll have real responsibility from day one

This is a rare early-career opportunity to work closely with a senior team in a high-growth environment, with meaningful client exposure and accelerated development from the outset. You’ll be joining at a pivotal moment in the firm’s growth — contributing not just to client projects, but to shaping the culture and direction of the business itself.

📍 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).

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.

✈️ 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

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.

This is a specialist boutique pioneering the field of Data Economics — quantifying what data is actually worth and helping organisations treat it as the strategic asset it is. Their clients are some of the UK’s largest infrastructure, utilities, and transport organisations. The work shapes real decisions at board level.

They’re looking for a Solution Analyst to join their delivery team. This is an earlier-career role, but it’s not a junior role in the way most firms use that word. You’ll be on live client engagements from day one, supported by experienced practitioners, and expected to take real ownership of the work you’re given.

You’ll be part of a squad working on live engagements, handling the analytical engine of every project. That means preparing, cleaning, and structuring data; conducting research; building models and initial outputs; and contributing to client-ready documents and presentations.

Day to day, you can expect to:

• Prepare, clean, and structure data to support analysis and modelling work
• Conduct research and produce initial outputs, models, and materials
• Use the firm’s internal tools and accelerators to support delivery
• Contribute to client-ready documents and presentations
• Support more senior team members on day-to-day delivery tasks
• Begin to build client-facing skills through supervised interactions

You’ll be intellectually curious, organised, and someone who takes quality seriously. You check your own work. You ask good questions. You want to understand the problem, not just complete the task.

• Strong data handling and analytical skills — comfortable working with data in complex contexts
• Ability to produce clear, professional written documents and presentations
• Organised and structured approach to tasks, with the ability to work to a brief and meet deadlines
• A degree in a relevant discipline — quantitative, business, or analytical — or equivalent experience. We assess this contextually.
• Some exposure to data, analytics, financial modelling, or business change through study, placements, or early roles

The field is genuinely emerging. Data Economics is being defined right now. Joining early means growing with a discipline that is still taking shape — and being part of what it becomes.

The development is structured and real. You’ll be supported by experienced practitioners and given a clear path to grow across all four of the firm’s domains: Data Economics & Valuation, Data Asset Management, Business Change, and Actionable Intelligence.

The culture is built on trust. A small, high-calibre team where your work is visible and your contribution counts from the start.

The package is thoughtfully designed. Competitive salary, private health cover with enhanced mental health support, generous family policies, and access to professional financial advice.

Flexibility with purpose. Around 60% in-person collaboration in London; genuine autonomy to shape the rest of your week around where you do your best work.

This role is being recruited on a confidential basis. The client’s name will be shared with suitable candidates at first conversation stage.
