Mid-Level Researcher
Job Description
We are actively seeking an experienced researcher to join our team, contributing to our exciting projects that centre around understanding and harnessing cultural insights.
Role Overview:
As a Mid-Level Researcher, you will play a crucial role in driving business success internally and externally. Your constant pursuit of knowledge, focus on emerging trends, curiosity, and eagerness to broaden perspectives - both yours and our clients' - underscores your commitment to refining your research and strategic skills.
Our in-depth qualitative & ethnographic research puts audiences at the forefront of our work. We aim to help brands make authentic work with people at its core.
The way we work is non-traditional, provocative and goes beneath the surface. We aim to always bring our clients into their audience’s world. By treating research as a genuine interaction, we allow spontaneity into our process – often where the best nuggets of insight emerge. The ON ROAD network has grown organically over the years and our recruitment is rooted in working closely with the communities we research.
Requirements:
- You MUST have a minimum of 2 years experience in a research role, with experience leading and conducting different ethnographic research methods (not just secondary/desk research). Applicants without this will not be considered.
- Proven track record of moderating IDIs and workshops
- Client-facing experience
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate data into actionable insights
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- London-based
Your responsibilities will include:
- Conducting in-depth research on cultural trends, consumer behaviour, and industry developments
- Supporting all project aspects including pitching and proposal writing
- Developing and implementing research methodologies to extract valuable insights
- Moderating in-depth interviews (IDIs) and workshops with diverse participants
- Managing local research teams on global projects
- Providing thought leadership on emerging trends that impact our industry
Perks and Benefits:
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses
- Opportunities for professional development and career growth
- Flexible work arrangements
