  • Data Visualization: Translating knowledge visually in larger data files and presentations using custom quantitative and qualitative datasets.
  • Multi-Tasking: Managing a variety of unique custom projects simultaneously, thus practicing efficient time management skills.
  • Collaborating: Working collaboratively across several different Mintel divisions such as sales, marketing, research analytics, and operations to deliver best-in-class custom work to our clients.
  • Engaging with Clients: You will have the opportunity to sit in on client calls, understand client objectives and as your career grows, act as a key point for clients.

Conducting Market Research:

  • Supporting research projects across multiple industries from kick-off to completion, including: survey programming, fielding, data cleaning, and charting.
  • Staying updated on industry trends, market dynamics, and competitor landscapes.
  • You will be expected to work effectively both independently and collaboratively with a team in a consultative setting, multi-tasking on several projects at once to effectively meet all deadlines.
  • We are looking for someone who exhibits strong analytical capabilities, pays close attention to detail, and demonstrates excellent professional writing and communication skills. A high level of proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint is required, with experience working on primary, custom marketing research projects desired.

Who We are Looking For:

  • Commercially-Minded: You have a demonstrated talent for abstract thinking, spotting trends and patterns, an instinct for commercial opportunities, and a nuanced understanding of consumer insights.
  • A Storyteller: You are a lateral thinker, an intuitive dot-connector, and have experience weaving compelling narratives through data across a wide range of categories.
  • Data-Driven:You have solid familiarity with most forms of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and working knowledge of when and how to apply them to a given client challenge.
  • Naturally Curious: You are always drawn to knowing the "why" behind things and great at navigating client conversations, asking second and third level questions to get at the heart of clients' challenges and goals.
  • An Influencer: You have experience with primary research methodologies and the energy, intellect, humility, and passion that draws people to wanting to learn more from you.
  • A Great Communicator: You are able to visualize strategic thought in evocative and engaging presentations, delivered with confidence and authority.
  • A Collaborator: You take pride in the team you are a part of and the work you produce. Cultivating professional relationships with your colleagues is important.

What We Offer:

  • A culture that supports true collaboration whilst embracing remote working.
  • Flexible start time and end time.
  • Blended (office/home) approach to work.
  • Approach to personal development where we encourage individuals to grow and share what they've learned.
  • Generous annual leave and wider circle employee benefits.
