Are you fascinated by the political landscape and current affairs and passionate about delivering research that truly influences decision-making? This is your chance to be part of a research agency that provides the most accurate, timely, and relevant polling on current political issues, elections, public affairs, and advocacy. They help government agencies, political parties, academic institutions, and commercial businesses keep their finger on the pulse of what the Australian nation thinks about the BIG issues in real-time – think the cost of living and housing crisis, workers' rights to strike, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the winners and losers in the next Federal election, public support for a Republic, immigration, the right to disconnect, and stage 3 tax cuts.
  
Why Join?

• A pivotal time to join—Federal Election momentum is building, meaning an exciting flow of projects shaping Australia's public discourse.
  Engage with a broad client base, from government and political parties to NFPs, academia, agencies, and corporate clients navigating political landscapes.
• Access cutting-edge tech and tools to deliver hard-hitting presentations with a clear narrative.
• A culture built on trust, respect, collaboration, and fearlessness will encourage you to think big and challenge the status quo.

The Role
As a Research Manager, you'll be part of a dynamic team delivering custom, client-facing research with a strong quantitative focus. You'll love the fast pace and variety of working across multiple projects, from the initial proposal to the final client presentation. This is a fantastic progression role for someone looking to step up and take more responsibility for clients and people.
  
�� What You'll Do:
✔ Lead customised research projects from survey design to insight delivery.
✔ Build strong relationships with clients, advising on public opinion, brand perception, and policy impact.
✔ Work in a team that maintains strict neutrality while analysing political and social trends.
✔ Contribute to a global organisation with a collaborative and innovative environment.
  
What We're Looking For

• Strong quantitative research skills – either fully quant or a dualist with a quant lean.
• Prior experience working within a Market Research agency.
• Client-facing experience, confident in delivering insights and presenting recommendations.
• Passion for politics, public affairs, or social research—thriving in a fast-moving, high-impact environment.
• Interest in cutting-edge research methodologies and analytics.

On offer is an industry-leading benefits package, hybrid and flexible working, and opportunities for professional development and career advancement, including line management.
