Job Spec: Independently owned, fast-growing, and hugely respected, our client is an Australian consultancy at the forefront of commercial behavioural science.

Experts at uncovering the intricacies of human behaviour, they solve real-world business problems for an outstanding profile of local and international clients across a wide-ranging spectrum of industries, from financial services to healthcare, retail, and sustainability.

They do this by uniquely combining academic and scientific rigour with qualitative & quantitative research, behavioural economics, analytics, and tailored consulting, delivering practical, targeted, and implementable behavioural interventions that drive growth and ROI.


The role: Behavioural Scientist/ Research Consultant

This role will suit a strategic thinker who can integrate behavioural science, research, and creativity in a full-service consultancy role. The position involves all project elements, from brief to design, delivery, and execution.

Bespoke and brief-led, no two projects will be the same. In one month, you could uncover tools to speed up the diagnosis of rare diseases, re-conceptualise retail experiences, investigate the psychology of saving, optimise sales call conversions or develop interventions that reduce the risk of drink-driving.


Key Responsibilities:

• Facilitating client conversations and building relationships
• Delivering strong project management
• Exploring and diagnosing briefs
• Designing and mapping methodologies and frameworks
• Applying quantitative and qualitative methods to understand behaviour
• Facilitating in-depth interviews and workshops
• Triangulating, synthesising, and interpreting quantitative data
• Testing and evaluating ideas
• Designing and applying evidence-based interventions
• Inspiring clients to take action and helping implement interventions.

Thought leaders in behavioural science, psychology, consulting, and neuroscience, the team is doing extraordinary work and has a coveted reputation for the quality of their thinking and successful results.


The Essentials:

• Prior commercial consulting experience - management consulting or market research
• Postgraduate academic qualifications in psychology, economics, or behavioural science
• Ability to translate academic concepts into commercial acumen and simplify complexity
• Demonstrated understanding of behavioural science frameworks
• Comfortable grappling with problems with a high degree of ambiguity
• Natural ability to think analytically, creatively, and laterally all at once
• Genuine, down-to-earth, collaborative, and love learning
• Deeply passionate about commercial behavioural science.

They offer ultimate work-life flexibility with home working, so this role can be based in any location across Australia. Please note that you must have full working rights in Australia.
