Job Spec: Want to join a brand strategy & research agency with amazing clients, an award-winning culture, and a flair for creative thinking?

We're looking for qualitative specialists ready to take the next step in their career with more autonomy, client exposure, and room to think outside the box!

Working collaboratively with a team of 20 strategists across Australia and the USA, you'll feel confident leading qualitative projects (with senior input) from proposal through to presentation. You'll enjoy the variety of projects, clients, and tools.


Your day-to-day responsibilities will span:

• Managing ad hoc research projects end-to-end - from taking client briefs, writing discussion guides, moderating in-depths, groups and ethnographies, project management, analysis, storytelling, reporting and presenting
• Deepening relationships with an incredible mix of retail and FMCG clients across all categories, from local beverage brands to global supermarket giants - immersing yourself in their business and deeply understanding their challenges.
• Thinking creatively - those who thrive here love problem-solving, sharing ideas, and coming up with new ways to support clients. While your role will focus on quality, we're looking for strategists who have brilliant writing skills!

About the Agency

Having just celebrated it's 10th birthday , this consumer-centric brand strategy & research consultancy is growing!

Specialising in FMCG, Retail, and Shopper insights, they partner with various clients in Australia and the USA, delivering insights that shape brand, product, and retail transformation.

Method-agnostic, they draw upon both qualitative and quantitative methods, believing that understanding consumers emotionally builds strong brand connections.

They're known for delivering insights that shape brand strategy, new product development, package optimisation, visual identity, new brand launches, concept testing, ad testing, pricing, shopper experience, NPD, and behavioural segmentation.

With a 4-day work week for full pay, 5 weeks annual leave, hybrid working, and tailored 1:1 mentoring, they prioritise professional and personal development for their team.


We'd love to speak to you if you have:

• 3+ years of qualitative experience in a research agency (this role would also suit a qual/quant-leaning dualist, as 90% of projects are mixed-method)
• Experience running qual projects end-to-end
• A passion for understanding human behaviour and curiosity about what makes people tick
• Genuine interest in consumer insights and branding
• Exceptional storytelling skills and an eye for design
• Curiosity and a love for qualitative research
• A strong qualitative methodological toolkit - including IDIs, groups, workshops, in-store observations, UX, ethnography, and more.
