With a combination of world-class syndicated tools and custom insight solutions, we are the eyes and ears in the markets that matter and the insights behind our clients' next big idea.

As a part of the Consulting team, you will be asked to demonstrate skills in critical thinking (with an emphasis on quantitative prowess), display poise under pressure, and have the ability to manage multiple projects. You will need strong data skills and an understanding of primary research methodologies, or experience cleaning larger data sets. In day-to-day workflow, you will be paired with and learn from seasoned Consultants on the team.

You will have the opportunity to play a key role in supporting client engagements, conducting in-depth research, and contributing to the development of actionable recommendations. The ideal candidate will have strong internship or professional experience within custom primary research and be excited at the prospect of growing their career as a Consultant.

What You Will Be Doing:
  • Data Synthesis: Rapidly organizing information, identifying patterns, drawing conclusions, and succinctly communicating key points in our data to senior consultants on our team, and eventually clients.
  • 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:
  • Assisting in designing research methodologies tailored to meet client needs and project objectives.
  • 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 are critical.
  • 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. You should have expertise working with complex data sets and strong data analysis and Excel skills are a must. Experience with tools such as Q, SPSS, SAS or other cross-tabulation and statistics tools are strongly preferred.
  • 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 and can adapt your communication style to suit each client and internal business partner.
  • 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 and you are constantly finding innovative and unique ways to create an exceptional work environment.
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.
  • Social events, both within the department and across the company.
  • Generous annual leave and wider circle employee benefits.
  • Additional one day off to celebrate your birthday.
  • Membership in Employee Resource Groups (Mintel Diversity, Mintel Wellness, and Mintel Gives).
  • Giving back is part of our culture with this in mind, Mintel gives employees 2 days' leave per year to join local volunteering activities organised by our Mintel Gives (where applicable).
