Most research roles ask you to deliver findings. This one asks you to change outcomes.

My client is a leading international strategic research and advisory consultancy — trusted by corporations, law firms, and governments to provide the research and intelligence that shapes high-stakes campaigns and decisions. Their London research team is small, senior, and embedded directly in the heart of the business. They’re looking for someone to join it.

You’ll own complex, multi-method research projects end to end — from design and fieldwork management through analysis and client delivery. The portfolio spans regulatory and lobbying campaigns, litigation and dispute resolution, corporate and sovereign reputation, defence and security, and energy and infrastructure. No trackers. No repeat briefs. Every project is bespoke, often international, and built around a specific client objective.

You’ll manage senior client relationships independently, contribute to pitches, and help shape how the team uses AI to work smarter — practically, not theoretically.

• 6–8+ years in political, strategic, or market research
• Strong quant instincts: survey design, sampling, regression, max diff — and the ability to tell the story in the data
• Comfortable in qual too: moderation, depths, analysis
• Commercially minded and consultative — you solve client problems, not just answer research questions
• Credible with senior stakeholders and curious about the political and business world your clients operate in

Background is less important than mindset. Polling firm, strategic comms, large agency — my client is open, provided you think like a consultant and not just a researcher.

The work is interesting, often sensitive, and genuinely international. You’ll sit alongside campaigns and advisory colleagues on one floor in central London — close to the work, close to the clients, and with real visibility of how research shapes strategic outcomes.

Five days in the office (some practical flexibility of course). Some international travel. Exceptional salary, with genuine flexibility for the right candidate.

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.

This is a rare opening at one of Ireland’s most established and respected research agencies, with an impressive client portfolio built over more than 20 years. You’ll work on genuinely varied briefs: healthcare, FMCG, banking, media, for household-name clients, in a flat, collaborative culture where great research is seen, valued and acted on.

You’ll be getting hands-on with research projects, running focus groups, IDIs, ethnographic work and online communities, and delivering sharp consumer insight across a wide range of sectors. At more senior levels, you’ll lead client relationships, contribute to new business, and develop junior researchers. Quant plays a supporting role too, so some familiarity helps.

• 4–7+ years of qualitative research experience
• Agency background is essential – consumer research specifically
• A confident, skilled moderator who loves being in the room
• Ireland-based, or genuinely ready to relocate

This pioneering company offers an advanced enterprise platform that delivers predictive analytics and AI-powered decision-making. Their digital AI agents provide always-on, intelligent insights, empowering top-tier clients across sectors, including asset management, banking, retail, telecoms, supply chain, and utilities, to dramatically enhance performance and efficiency.

You’ll play a key role in designing and deploying bespoke AI agents in collaboration with leading enterprises.

This isn’t your typical data science position – it’s deeply technical, highly collaborative, and focused on delivering real-world impact. You’ll help translate complex business challenges into intelligent, scalable solutions powered by cutting-edge AI tools.

Key attributes of a suitable AI Engineer include:

• Strong Data Science Foundations– bring solid grounding in statistics and machine learning, along with strong programming skills – Python preferred.
• Passion for Cutting-Edge AI– You actively experiment with and apply modern AI technologies such as LLMs, RAGs, co-pilots, agentic workflows (heavily desired), and more.
• Client-Centric Problem Solver– You’re confident engaging with clients and stakeholders, able to translate complex business problems into elegant, scalable AI solutions. You’ve played a hands-on role in architecting and delivering real-world deployments.

You’ll be the most senior technical person on a close-knit team of six. You’ll own the product roadmap, shape the architecture, and help define what the platform becomes next — including leading a rearchitecting project that’s already in motion. About 3 to 3.5 days a week you’ll be writing code. The rest of the time you’ll be leading, planning, reviewing, and occasionally representing the product to clients.

You’ll line manage one developer and work closely with researchers and delivery leads to translate client briefs into builds.

TypeScript is your primary language — backend and frontend. The infrastructure runs on AWS serverless. The frontend is React. There’s some legacy C# in the backend which you won’t need to know — and which may get replaced over time. Strong cloud and backend skills matter most here.

You’re a strong TypeScript and AWS backend developer with 5+ years of full stack experience. You’ve come from a larger organisation or agency — you know what good looks like and you’re ready to bring that into a smaller, more purposeful environment. You’re comfortable being the most senior technical voice in the room, and you can talk about a product commercially as well as technically. You’ve managed or mentored developers before, even informally. And you genuinely care about the work — this is civic tech, and the mission matters.

The organisation is transitioning to independence over the next couple of years. As that happens, the right person in this role grows naturally into a CTO position. We’re not promising that on day one — but we are looking for someone with that potential.

📍 The practicalities

SE1, London. Two fixed days in the office — Monday and Wednesday. Permanent. Right to work in the UK required. Up to three months notice is fine — they’ll wait for the right person.

This pioneering organisation has built an advanced enterprise AI platform delivering predictive analytics and decision intelligence.

Their technology is trusted by leading global clients across healthcare, financial services, and enterprise sectors, and they are now entering an exciting new phase of growth.

As Finance & Revenue Systems Lead, you’ll partner closely with the CFO to own the company’s finance and revenue systems. Your initial focus will be leading ERP selection, technical due diligence, and migration to a modern AI-native platform, building a scalable foundation across core systems.

From there, you’ll drive automation across finance (close, AP, treasury, reporting) while owning the end-to-end quote-to-cash lifecycle from CRM through to billing and collections. You’ll also support the build of a clean FP&A data layer and work with engineering to deploy AI-driven workflows — scaling the function through systems, not headcount.

Key attributes of the suitable Finance & Revenue Systems Lead include:

• Finance Systems & ERP Experience – Proven experience leading ERP implementations or migrations and owning finance systems architecture
• Revenue Systems Knowledge – Experience connecting CRM and billing systems, with a strong understanding of quote-to-cash processes
• Automation-First Mindset – Track record of improving workflows through automation, tooling, and scalable systems
• Technical Finance Background – 3–6 years in finance systems, RevOps, or technical finance operations, with a modern, AI-enabled approach

This is a specialist boutique pioneering the field of Data Economics — a discipline that sits at the intersection of strategy consulting and financial modelling, and one that is growing fast. Their clients are some of the UK’s largest and most complex organisations. The work lands at board level.

The problems are genuinely hard.

They’re looking for a Consulting Manager to join as a Solution Consultant — a core delivery role that sits at the heart of every engagement. You’ll own workstreams, produce high-quality analytical outputs, and manage day-to-day client relationships with confidence. If you’re a structured thinker who wants to do serious consulting work in an emerging field, this is worth your attention.

You’ll work within squads led by a Solution Lead, taking defined workstreams from brief to output. That means building models and analysis, running workshops, presenting findings to mid-level clients, and mentoring more junior analysts on the team. You’ll also contribute to the methods and IP that make the firm’s work repeatable and scalable.

Day to day, you can expect to:

• Own workstreams end-to-end, from brief to client-ready output
• Build analysis, financial models, and structured presentations to a high standard
• Manage day-to-day client interactions — workshops, findings sessions, relationship-building at mid-level
• Support more senior team members on delivery planning and risk management
• Mentor and review the work of Solution Analysts
• Contribute to the firm’s growing library of methods, frameworks, and accelerators

You’ll be a structured, delivery-focused consultant — likely at manager level — with a track record of owning complex analytical workstreams and communicating findings clearly to clients.

• Experience in a consulting, professional services, or advisory environment
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — comfortable taking a complex brief and producing clear outputs
• Confident communicator, written and verbal, with experience presenting findings and running client sessions
• Domain experience in at least one area: data strategy, governance, analytics, financial modelling, or business change
• Awareness of commercial context — scope, quality, and what good delivery looks like

The field is genuinely emerging. Data Economics is being defined right now, and this firm is at the front of it. Joining at this stage means being part of building something, not inheriting a finished model.

The work is real from day one. No extended onboarding or shadow work. You’ll be on live engagements quickly, working on problems that matter to serious organisations.

The culture is built on trust. A small, high-calibre team with no unnecessary layers. Your work is visible, your contribution counts, and the people around you are genuinely excellent.

The package is competitive. Benchmarked against consulting market rates, with private health cover, enhanced mental health support, generous family policies, and access to professional financial advice.

Flexibility with purpose. Around 60% in-person collaboration; 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.
