▷ [15h Left] Research Consultant - Ai, Innovation And Social Impact

2 days ago

City of Melbourne, Australia Victoria State Government Full time

This is a rare and unique opportunity for a talented market or social researcher to combine their demonstrated interest in AI and emerging technologies with social and for-purpose research.

The team sits at the intersection of social impact and research innovation, working on issues that shape everyday life in Australia, including health, housing, education, transport, disability, domestic violence, public services, media consumption, online safety, and more.

They are looking for a Research Consultant who can bring strong commercial consulting skills and a passion for using AI responsibly in research. This role requires someone who thrives on variety, is equally comfortable with quant and qual, and who can influence stakeholders, spark new ways of thinking, and help teams embed AI into the way they work.

This role is for the curious thinkers, the boundary-pushers, the problem-solvers who get energy from showing colleagues and clients what’s possible when you combine research rigour with emerging tech.

What you’ll do

- Design and deliver research that matters – across health, housing, disability, education, and more
- Lead and collaborate on both quant and qual projects, from design to delivery.
- Use AI tools to streamline workflows, deepen insights, and push innovation (always responsibly)
- Influence and inspire – helping colleagues and clients embrace new approaches
- Bring commercial consulting skills into a social research setting.

What you’ll bring

- 4–6 years’ experience in a research consultancy (social or commercial)
- A mix of quant and qual research experience (from surveys to focus groups, analysis to reporting)
- Sharp commercial consulting skills - client-facing, influencing, presenting
- Curiosity about AI and how it can be applied meaningfully to social research
- Strong rigour in methods, detail, and delivery
- A collaborative mindset.

This role offers flexibility, hybrid working, and the chance to work alongside industry experts on projects that genuinely shape policy, services, and society.

If you’re ready to put your research skills to work in a role that blends innovation, social impact, and AI-enabled insight, please note that applications should be sent to the relevant contact.
