InSites Consulting empower people to shape the sustainable future of brands. If you have the same desire to make a positive difference, come and join us!

InSites Consulting is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace, regardless of age, ancestry, citizenship, disability status, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, marital status, neurodiversity, political creed, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status

WHO ARE INSITES CONSULTING?

Founded in 1997, InSites Consulting was the pioneer of digital market research. Today, we have over 600 members of staff in 18 offices and 8 partner hubs across 6 continents, but we never lost our pioneering spirit, rated globally in the top 50 most innovative agencies. Our portfolio of over 300 clients includes many of the globe’s largest consumer brands.

Our success is based on our amazing team using our state-of-the-art technology to empower consumers and brands to better connect and collaborate.

We believe the best work comes from happy people. Here are just a few of the professional and personal perks you’ll experience at InSites Consulting.

Diversity & Inclusion

We are a culturally diverse business, but we are committed to being even more diverse and inclusive in giving everyone a voice. We welcome applications from anyone that feels they have the necessary skills & experience, and can bring something different to the team.

Hybrid working culture

We embrace flexible working and give our people the personal freedom to work between our central offices and their home. Where and when people work is a joint decision with the focus on what’s needed to do a great job rather than where you are and strict working hours.

Participation

We encourage our people to take active part in discussions and ideas on the future of our organization. Our annual global congress, annual employee survey, quarterly on-track survey & weekly happiness barometers…; it all gives our people a channel to express themselves.

‘Glocal’ flavor

We manage one organization from a strong global vision co-created with local flavour. Our ‘forward’ values are what unites us, but we also recognize the need to be locally relevant and empower our local offices & teams to shape their own future.

WHAT DOES THE ROLE LOOK LIKE?

Our UK team is located in Manchester and London. As Research Director, using your in-depth industry expertise, you will be able to build a long-term partnership with your clients, providing them with actionable and advanced marketing recommendations which will impact their decision making and leverage their business.

As part of a team, you share your marketing (research) expertise with your colleagues. You act as a source of inspiration, and actively develop and support internal knowledge transfer. Furthermore, you apply your coaching skills to motivate and guide project teams.

  • You are accountable for the complete set-up, organisation and execution of market research projects
  • You translate business problems into concrete and actionable research designs and methods
  • You develop insightful reports based on the research consultants’ analysis and on both quantitative and qualitative research techniques
  • You present recommendations to clients and animate creative client workshops where, together with the client team, you transform insights and recommendations into a concrete action plan
  • You identify and pursue business opportunities with both existing accounts and new prospects
  • You develop and deliver convincing proposals to clients
  • You are responsible for an existing portfolio of accounts, as well as for the further development of existing accounts

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

We are looking for someone who has 8+ years experience in consumer research, brand insights and/or corporate/strategic consulting. Experience designing, executing and analyzing research and highly consultative projects or proposals. You have a demonstrated ability to grow accounts by providing an excellent client experience and the ability to manage multiple projects independently.

Why this is for you

  • You are a strong relationship builder with senior client stakeholders – directly managing key senior client relationships and working closely with them on a daily basis
  • You think on your feet, seeing all the angles to best position our platform to fit a clients' project needs
  • You are a natural problem solver and trusted advisor to clients, never shy of presenting a point of view to deliver on client objectives

Why this isn't for you

  • Coaching and guiding colleagues makes you nervous
  • You do not trust your experience and instinct
  • You prefer slides in bullet-point black-and-white style

WHAT WE OFFER YOU?

A comparative benefits package that consists of:

  • Pension scheme up to 6% match
  • Enhanced maternity & paternity scheme
  • Access To Perkbox; the lifestyle discount portal including gym and health discounts
  • Travel season ticket loan
  • Ride to work scheme
