You'll fit right in if you love challenging conventions and crafting high-impact insights.
They are looking to hire an FMCG insights expert who thrives on tackling complex projects to spearhead some of their big-name FMCG accounts.

What You’ll Do:
  • Own and grow key FMCG accounts – Drive high-value relationships and deliver strategic insights that make a real difference.
  • Lead complex, customised research – From concept optimisation to segmentation, innovation, and advanced modelling, you’ll be at the forefront of tackling big research questions.

  • Strategic and commercial acumen – You see the bigger picture, identifying opportunities for clients and the business.
  • A challenger mindset – You don’t just execute research; you question, refine, and elevate it.
  • Natural leadership – You bring energy, inspiration, and mentorship to your team.
What’s in It for You?
  • Hybrid and flexible working – Because great insights don’t happen in a 9-to-5 box.
