Research Manager.

If you needed heart surgery, would you go to a GP or a specialist?

This Research Manager role is your chance to be the FMCG specialist clients value.

You enjoy the pace of FMCG research, how quickly things change & improve - there's always something new to explore. But you've had to juggle it with other areas for the sake of the business.

Why not join a company ONLY doing the thing you love?

TOP OF THE 'POPS'

This agency works with more than 50% of the top 100 brands, covering food & beverage, household and personal care. Your clients are global in scale, coming to you for insight on how to develop new innovations.

You're positioned as the expert by the reputation of the agency. They built their name on sophisticated quantitative work, growing from humble beginnings in the founders' spare bedroom.

Now, with research hubs in cities like Mumbai, New York & Shanghai, you could spread your wings as Research Manager and explore secondments internationally, too.

MIX IT UP

In 2011, the agency created a dedicated qualitative research function. Having a quantitative background is vital for this Research Manager role, but you'll also get exposure to mixed methods projects.

In fact, the agency has an in-house innovation team always exploring new ways to blend qual & quant for clients' benefit. You'll be in position to provide answers to the question 'why?', alongside providing robust data.

This further enhances your profile when clients come to you for advice.

ALWAYS LEARNING

As Research Manager you're supported with both internal & external opportunities to develop.

An in-house academy offers interactive workshops & training, with the goal of making you an expert in front of your clients. Past curriculum include using visualisation to increase impact of research outputs; how to maximise value from agency partnerships, and training on concept writing/development.

What's more, there's a dedicated fund to support with external training - things like the MRS Advanced certificate, for example.
