Research Director

Basis Research Ltd; London; Hybrid; GBP 60,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job description

We’re looking for a Research Director to join our growing, ambitious and fun London based quant team!

You’ll be working in a vibrant and friendly environment, delivering bespoke research projects for a range of clients. We work with many leading brands including Netflix, Beats, Samsung, Tesco, DAZN, ALDO and John Lewis to name a few, and you’ll have the opportunity to work across sectors and methodologies (from brand tracking to segmentation, conjoint to integrated studies).

We’re looking for someone who can make an immediate impact, hit the ground running and be hands on getting stuck into projects. You’ll have shown good career progression to date and be hungry to keep going. Key elements of the role include:

1. Owning key account relationships, spending time understanding the priorities and needs for our clients.
2. Being a quality gatekeeper, ensuring we’re proud of the work we deliver.
3. Getting involved in the day to day, from helping shape questionnaires, writing analysis and delivering debriefs.
4. Writing winning proposals, and designing bespoke solutions to answer our client’s business questions.
5. Pro-actively growing existing accounts.
6. Developing and pushing more junior members of the team, helping drive progression.

In return we’ll provide mentoring, a clear career development path for further progression, and space to own major client relationships! It’s a fun culture, and somewhere you can really make your mark and grow beyond the Director role.

Don’t meet every single requirement? At Basis we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you’re excited about the prospect of joining us but your past experience doesn’t 100% align with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate we are looking for.

About us!

We make our own rules – we’re the largest independent insight agency in the UK, this means we don’t answer to scary shareholders. We do things our way and make our own rules (promoting at timings we see fit, not in a certain window in the year).

We’re international – we’ve attracted a diverse, international client base, working in over 60 markets.

We’re growing – we’re an ambitious company and consistently grow – and growth brings lot of benefits (both culturally and presenting more opportunities for our team).

We offer rapid career progression – several of our Directors started at Basis as grads. We’re big believers in setting goals and helping our employees across all levels achieve them at a pace to suit them.

We love our people – our employees are our main asset, without them, we don’t have a business. We strive to make Basis a fun place to work day in day out.

We’re flexible – our team balances being in our new Central London office (which we love!, including a 4th floor break out area with balconies for socials, workshops etc) with remote working.
