THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR – INSIGHTS & STRATEGY ROLE:

We’re looking for an Associate Director to join a growing insight and strategy consultancy, working with leading global brands to uncover the human truths that drive commercial decisions.

This is not a traditional research or reporting role. You’ll sit at the intersection of data, culture, and strategy, combining multiple data sources to create original thinking that shapes brand, product, and business direction.

You’ll be part of a team that values curiosity, pace, and intellectual ambition, and where insight is expected to go beyond “what’s happening” into why it matters and what to do next.

You’ll lead complex insight projects end-to-end, working across a mix of quantitative, qualitative, and digital data sources to develop clear, compelling narratives and strategic recommendations.

You’ll be:

• Leading projects from problem definition through to delivery
• Combining multiple data sources (e.g. research, behavioural, social, search, market data) into cohesive insight stories
• Designing robust approaches to insight generation, understanding the strengths and limitations of different data sources
• Translating insight into clear strategic direction, not just reporting
• Working directly with clients, building trusted relationships and shaping thinking at a senior level
• Contributing to new business, proposals, and the growth of client accounts

ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR – INSIGHTS ESSENTIAL SKILLS

• Extensive experience leading insight projects across multiple data sources
• Deep expertise in digital data (search, social listening, web analytics, behavioural data)
• Strong ability to triangulate quantitative, qualitative and digital insights
• Proven experience assessing methodology strengths, limitations and data integrity
• Outstanding communication and presentation skills
• Experience managing project timelines, budgets and stakeholders
• Commercial awareness with the ability to identify growth opportunities
