Research Manager, Quant/Qual - Social Research Agency | UK & International

This enormously influential business in public consultation and research consulting seeks a researcher to play a key role in the delivery of diverse client projects that cover the issues shaping the delivery of public services in modern society and the challenges of engaging the public in the policy making process.

Using a variety of quant, qual and evaluation methods, your studies will explore public attitudes and behaviour, examin stakeholder opinions, generate communications and policy impact, and gather public opinion on difficult and controversial issues. Clients include central government strategists and policy-makers plus those delivering ‘on the ground’.

This team has recently enjoyed rapid growth and international expansion, so your work will not only access the UK, but also pan-European studies and, increasingly, research and evaluation in the developing world for clients with global policy objectives and influence. With unrivalled access to senior stakeholders across the civil service, government and the private sector, you will join with your peers to inform policy, thought leadership, academic research and organisational strategy across the piece.

You will be keen to further enhance your skill set in areas including methodological innovation, proposals, presentations and team management. With a burning curiosity to come to grips with how to improve people’s lives both in the UK and further afield, you will be working on highly visible and essential projects and policies, whilst taking advantage of the superb training and personal development programmes this company is proud to offer.
