This is a mixed methods primary research focused role, you will require a minimum of 5 years relevant experience, across a range of qual and quant but at having strength in one and good understanding of the other will suffice. Interpreting and developing insights is as key as being a practitioner. You have a broad range of interests, are curious about how the business world works and follow the current affairs and political trends that influence it. You demonstrate outstanding storytelling, written and verbal skills and comfortable managing projects independently. You have experience of leading client relationships and are confident in a client facing role.
