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 team to match their momentum

You’ll lead strategic workstreams across go-to-market, channel, product, and customer strategy. Using analytical tools, you’ll turn CRM, web, and sales data into actionable insights – then present recommendations that drive results.

Working with clients and project leads, you’ll shape strategy, enhance proprietary tools, and help build lasting business growth.

Key attributes of a suitable Analytics Consultant include:

• 2–4 years’ experience in strategy consulting, commercial analytics, or PE-related roles
• Proficient in SQL and/or Python, with strong skills in data visualisation (Tableau ideal)
• Background in segmentation, marketing analytics, or go-to-market planning
• Thrive in ambiguity and complexity, with a knack for finding the “so what”

– Design and deliver quantitative research — surveys and analysis that shape client strategy — for clients at the frontier of technology and beyond

– Turn research findings into clear, actionable recommendations for senior client stakeholders

– Use AI tools to speed up and sharpen analysis, and build on that experience to contribute to the team’s internal AI products (including podcast and newsletter tools)

– Review and sense-check AI-generated (“vibe-coded”) outputs with a critical, analytical eye

– Flex into wider comms, policy or research work as needed

**Recent examples of the kind of work you’d be doing:**

– Helping a research organisation understand what drives its reputation in AI search

– Helping a large tech company navigate a strategic governance decision

– Mapping the media conversation around a tech client’s highest-priority issue

– Helping an investor understand its positioning in the market

– Strong quantitative research experience — comfortable with survey design, data analysis and turning findings into strategic recommendations

– A decent working understanding of communications and policy, so you can operate credibly with clients and colleagues

– Comfortable writing code and reviewing others’ code (R, SPSS or Python backgrounds all welcome) — not a software engineer, but genuine coding literacy is expected

– Corporate research agency experience is a plus but not essential — we’re equally open to backgrounds in management consulting or in-house corporate insight teams

– Genuine curiosity about AI tools, and the judgement to use them critically rather than blindly

– Employee ownership — everyone shares in the firm’s success

– A twice-yearly bonus based on company and individual performance

– Private healthcare and dedicated mental health support

– 26 days’ holiday plus public holidays

– Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate

– Hybrid working, three days a week in the London office

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 leading data science and engineering consultancy, specialising in delivering applied AI and data science solutions that create measurable commercial value for some of the world’s largest private equity funds and their portfolio companies. PE-backed and with a global footprint spanning the US, UK, and India, they have built a high-performing team of several hundred experts and a client base that keeps coming back

You’ll own the full lifecycle of data science engagements, from shaping ambiguous problems through to deploying production-grade models that embed into real operational workflows.

This isn’t a research or experimentation role – it’s delivery-focused, commercially grounded, and built for someone who thrives at the intersection of rigorous data science and client impact. You’ll work across organisations at every stage of data maturity, set the technical standard internally, and develop the next generation of data scientists within the team.

Key attributes of a suitable Managing Consultant (Data Science) include:

• Deep Applied Data Science Expertise – you bring 5+ years of hands-on experience delivering end-to-end machine learning and statistical solutions in production environments.
• Commercial Problem Solver – you’re confident translating ambiguous business challenges into hypothesis-driven data science solutions, and equally comfortable presenting findings and influencing decision-making at the senior client level.
• Technical Leader – you set the bar for code quality, reproducibility, and best practices, and take pride in mentoring and developing others. You understand that the measure of success is client outcomes, not model sophistication.
• Awareness of Generative AI – some exposure to LLMs, RAG pipelines, or agentic workflows is a plus, though strong data science fundamentals will always take priority.

Demand is outpacing what the current partnership can absorb. Our client is growing its leadership team deliberately — and only with people who can lead senior client relationships from day one. This is a hands-on, senior role, not a management layer.

— Strategic authority. 15+ years in research consultancy, management consulting or design. Proven at translating customer insight into commercially actionable strategy. Confident at SVP and C-suite level.

— A commercial track record. £1m+ revenue and £0.5m+ PBT, consistently delivered. A client portfolio you’ve grown. Accounts you can bring.

— The right mindset. Entrepreneurial. Direct. Invested in the work and the business, not just your own contribution.

• Own and administer HubSpot Sales Hub Professional — pipeline stages, custom properties, workflows, automations, and data quality across 1,300+ company and contact records
• Run the weekly pipeline governance cadence with the CEO and CGO — facilitating structured reviews, challenging deal status, and holding the growth team accountable to agreed process and stage discipline
• Build and maintain pipeline and performance dashboards — weighted pipeline, conversion rates, sector performance, and revenue visibility for senior leadership
• Support pursuit planning — account intelligence, competitor scanning, and briefing packs for sector leads
• Maintain bid/no-bid governance documentation and process compliance
• Help develop and improve the firm’s AI-enabled BD workflows, already in active use across the growth function

You have worked in a revenue operations, sales operations, or commercial operations capacity — and you understand how professional services firms sell. Long cycles. Relationship-led. High value. Low volume. The opposite of a SaaS funnel.

You are also comfortable in an environment that is still being built. There is no fully defined playbook here. You will write it.

This role will suit candidates who have worked under a range of titles — Sales Operations Manager, BD Operations Manager, Sales Capture Manager, Commercial Operations Manager, or Sales Enablement Manager are all relevant backgrounds. What matters is the environment: professional services, consulting, legal, or advisory — not SaaS or product-led sales.

You will bring:

• HubSpot administration experience — custom properties, pipeline configuration, workflow automation, and reporting. Not just a user — an administrator
• Strong analytical skills — weighted pipeline modelling, conversion tracking, and the ability to turn data into a clear and honest story for the CEO and CGO
• Experience in a consulting, professional services, or high-value services environment — or a demonstrable understanding of what that selling environment looks like
• The confidence to constructively challenge senior stakeholders in governance meetings — patience, thick skin, and authority without a formal mandate
• Self-starting behaviour — you can set your own priorities and build structure in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment
• Genuine interest in AI tools — the firm has built BD modules to support pursuit preparation and client intelligence, and wants someone who will help improve them

• Build something from scratch alongside a CEO and CGO who are deeply invested in getting the commercial function right
• Work at the intersection of commercial operations and data strategy in a firm doing genuinely pioneering work
• No sales targets, no quota pressure, no cold calling
• Direct mentorship from the CGO from day one
• Hybrid working from London
• Performance bonus and long-term growth incentives

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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

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.

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.

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

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.
