* A natural problem-solver who has experience of keeping multiple projects on track.
* Excellent communication skills, with a talent for translating data into clear insights.
* A collaborative leader, keen to develop others and build a strong team.
* A commercial mindset and someone who enjoys the pace of agency life.
What You’ll Do
* Own and drive research projects from inception to delivery, ensuring smooth execution at every stage.
* Manage project teams, ensuring clarity on roles, responsibilities, and deadlines.
* Oversee budgets and timelines, anticipating and solving challenges before they arise.
* Act as the main point of contact for clients, ensuring they are informed and engaged throughout.
* Lead research design, data collection, and analysis, ensuring high-quality outputs.
* Mentor and develop junior researchers, helping to build a strong, high-performing team.
* Contribute to business growth through new business pitches, thought leadership, and innovation.
Time and time again we hear that the best thing about working here is our people. We attract and retain some of the most talented, friendly and interesting people within the industry. People with different ways of thinking and working, but with a shared goal of delivering impactful insight that makes a difference.
At IFF, we offer a supportive, flexible, and people-first culture, with 28 days’ holiday (increasing to 30 over time), healthcare options, wellbeing support, and social events.
If you’re looking for the next step in your research career, where you can lead projects, develop people, and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
