Your days will be varied and full, with plenty of opportunity to learn. You’ll be:
Leading engagement with clients across the range of our work, including political parties, investors, NGOs, corporates and government departments
Managing the entire research process, from drafting surveys, designing sampling strategies, managing data collection, and processing results.
Producing analysis and translating it into clear and actionable reports and presentations for an exciting range of clients.
Learning and applying the fundamentals of data analysis, including regression, segmentation, principal component analysis and more.

Ideally some familiarity with programming languages like Python or R. (We very much welcome applications from people who are just starting out with these tools, you don’t need to be any kind of expert.)
