Key responsibilities:

• Research: methodology selection, creation of research materials and the fieldwork itself
  You’ll lead your own research projects within which you will be fully responsible for all research materials and research execution. You’ll be confident building screeners, discussion guides, stimulus and surveys and you’ll be able to present a clear rationale to your decision making. You’ll be equally comfortable delegating a portion of this work to a more junior team member and executing all stages of a project yourself.
  
  
• Qualitative research: moderating skillfully and drawing conclusions
  You’ll have experience in moderating under different set-ups (focus groups, depth interviews, communities, diaries…) and be able to both recommend and deliver the right format for the interviews. Our research is with children and families, so we are looking for very highly skilled, adaptable moderators who can just as well speak to a five year old as to a group of parents.
  
  
• Research analysis: story-telling, presenting and learning to connect the dots
  Whether the data we work with is quantitative or qualitative, you’ll take the lead in reporting for your projects, delivering immersive reports with strong rationale throughout. We take pride in connecting research insights with business strategy and creative work, so you’ll be able to collaborate with clients or your colleagues from other teams in order to make the research reports as actionable as possible.
  
  
• Research proposals and new business
  You’ll take a leading role in developing research proposals, working with the agency leadership and the client services teams to answer the question of how we would approach a project.
  
  
• Maintaining and supporting client relationships
  Asking the right questions, providing relevant information about their current project, maintaining the dialogue with proactive insights in between projects.
  

 Important skills and abilities:

• At least five years of relevant experience in qualitative research, either client or agency side 
• It helps if you have experience in working with children and families (e.g. as a teacher, youth group leader, if not as a researcher) but this is not essential
• Outstanding communication skills: written and verbal 
• Previous experience in successfully managing full research projects as well as client relationships 
• Commitment to delivering top quality work 
• Ability to work as a member of a closely-knit, interdisciplinary team 
• A thirst for learning about and supporting our clients in delivering value to children’s lifestyles - from the technology they use, the food they consume, the games they play … 
• Calm under pressure - agencies can be busy, but are also hugely collaborative, exciting environments. We’re looking for someone who can thrive in this space, meaning you know how to manage your time, prioritise tasks, collaborate with your team and excel at the job
