You should be confident in the basics of Quantitative research, consistently delivering high-quality work across the project lifecycle with limited senior input; from project set-up and management, to survey development and report-writing.
You may also be responsible for supporting and managing junior colleagues on projects. This role is about demonstrating confident, consistent competency in your core skills as a Quantitative researcher, and showing a strong desire to lead more parts of projects.
As a team, we have a passion for numbers, and pride ourselves on client work that drives:

As an Analyst, you will act as a pivotal team member on at least 2 to 3 projects at any one time, through confident project management that ensures work is delivered on time, on budget and in-line with our clients’ and our own high expectations. We’re looking for a Consultant Analyst to join our team who is looking to have more responsibility in the project lifecycle, and can bring fresh, new ideas, whilst showcasing confidence in delivery.

Flexible working - We are guided by our client work and needs; however, you have autonomy to manage your time and diary to suit your work/life balance.
