Associate Director, Quant - Independent Agency | Flexible working

Perfect opportunity for a senior quant researcher who is 'allergic' to large company systems and processes. You would relish the chance to work for a consultancy style agency with a strong commitment to methodological innovation and leading edge thinking which gives them a competitive edge and a distinctive position in the market. They are a company that constantly challenges themselves to do things differently and always look to improve their offer and service to an enviable list of FMCG, food and beverage, leisure, finance and retail clients. At the heart of their offer are exceptional insights delivered time and again to these high profile clients in the areas of NPD, branding, packaging and comms research.

Joining their small but perfectly formed team, advanced levels of automation mean you will be released from much of the routine of day to day project delivery and will enjoy plenty of time to cultivate and deliver the in-depth thinking and creativity your clients seek. Projects are 60/40 adhoc/tracking and recent areas of focus include reappraising the entire comms and ad strategy for a major high street bank as well as concept and product development for a much loved fast food chain.

Whilst you will use your commercial skills on pitches with other senior directors, this is certainly not a business development focussed role. In fact, this would be a career defining move for someone that thrives on delighting clients, is keen to work in partnership with accomplished researchers and excels in managing junior members of the team. If you have an interest in methodological development and innovation, you will find real soul mates here equally enthusiastic about discovering new directions.

Their offices are based in the heart of a buzzing, shopper friendly area of West Central London (Zone 1). Dependent on your preference, you could be full or part-time with 3, 4 or 5 days in the office. Truly a chance to put all your energies and endeavour into excelling at the things you enjoy and participating in key business decisions for the future.
