Location: London
Job Description:

Ready to redefine how market research works?

If you love finding consumer insight but feel stuck doing repetitive work in a traditional agency, this is the step up you’ve been looking for.

We’re looking for a smart, driven Research Manager to join our growing global Insights team. You’ll combine strategic thinking, consulting, and fresh AI technology to help major brands make better decisions, faster.

Following QuMind’s acquisition by Largo, we’re now part of an ambitious international team spanning London, Switzerland and Los Angeles. We’re investing heavily in AI-powered research, digital twins and the future of consumer intelligence.

If you’re excited by where our industry is heading next, we want to hear from you.

Why join us?

You’ll be joining at a brilliant point in our growth. We’re building the next generation of insight consulting, bringing together skilled researchers with powerful automation tools. Rather than replacing researchers, our tech removes repetitive manual work, leaving you free to spend time doing what really matters:

·       Solving business problems

·       Building real client relationships

·       Giving strategic advice

·       Helping shape the future of research

The Role

As a Research Manager, you’ll become a trusted advisor to a portfolio of major clients, leading research from proposal to final recommendations.

You’ll run a wide mix of quantitative projects, support qualitative and community-based research where appropriate, and use our automated platform and AI-powered tools to deliver exceptional client experiences, working with product teams.

No two days look the same here. One day you might be presenting strategic recommendations to a major brand. The next, you could be testing how AI can automate reporting, working with our product teams to improve our platforms, or helping clients unlock the potential of digital twins and synthetic audiences.

What you’ll be doing

Deliver exceptional insight

·       Lead quantitative research projects from initial design to final reporting

·       Deliver engaging, story-led outputs that help clients make confident business decisions

·       Support qualitative and community-based research projects when needed

·       Turn complex data into clear, commercially focused recommendations

 

Manage accounts and become a trusted client partner

·       Manage and grow relationships across a portfolio of enterprise clients

·       Deliver outstanding service that drives long-term partnerships

·       Identify opportunities to introduce new methods, AI capabilities and platform solutions

·       Work with senior leaders to help win pitches and write proposals

Shape our offer

·       Champion AI workflows and smart automation across projects

·       Use our proprietary research tech and data platforms to improve efficiency

·       Share ideas to improve our products, internal processes and client experiences

·       Stay on top of new trends in AI, data analytics and insight consultancy

Help our team grow

·       Share knowledge and mentor colleagues

·       Work collaboratively with project managers, consultants, developers and product teams across our global business

·       Help train and support clients using our platforms

·       Manage external suppliers where required

 

Success in this role means

 

  • Build long-lasting relationships with clients
  • Deliver clear, accurate and relevant insights every time
  • Help grow our existing accounts
  • Make our project delivery faster and sharper
  • Spot smarter ways to work through automation and AI

  

What we’re looking for

You’ll likely have at least 3 years of experience within a market research agency, insight consultancy or ResTech environment. You’ll enjoy combining analytical thinking with strong client commutation and relationship building.

You’ll also bring:

  • Strong quantitative research skills from proposal to debrief
  • Excellent storytelling and clear report-writing skills
  • Experience using analytics software such as Q (or similar)
  • A good understanding of statistical principles and quantitative research methods
  • Confidence presenting insights to client teams
  • Excellent organisation and attention to detail
  • A curious mindset and desire to work with new technology
  • A friendly, helpful and proactive way of working

 

Desirable: experience with qualitative research or online communities, experience with survey platforms, or using AI tools in your current work.

 

What you’ll get from us

·       A competitive salary based on your experience

·       Hybrid working with up to 3 days in our modern London HQ

·       The opportunity to work with global brands across different sectors

·       Direct experience with the some of the most exciting AI tools changing the face of market research

·       A clear career path with genuine opportunities to step up

·       A supportive, friendly, and ambitious team environment

·       The power to shape our products and tech, not just deliver standard projects

·       25 days annual leave, plus standard bank holidays
