Research Consultant

Looking to take your research career to the next level? Here’s your chance to join a global strategic consultancy where insights don’t just inform decisions - they shape them. This is a team that advises leaders across Australia’s biggest industries and sectors, turning complex challenges into clear, actionable strategies. If you’re ready to blend research, strategy, and storytelling in a high-impact environment, this could be your next move.

The Company

With a global foot print, this consultancy operates at the intersection of research, reputation, and communications strategy. They partner with major brands, government bodies, and corporate clients across sectors like energy, finance, healthcare, retail, and sport - helping them understand audiences, influence perception, and drive meaningful change. Their Sydney team of around 40 combines analytical thinkers, strategists, and communicators. The culture? High-performing, collaborative, and ego-free - where ideas are valued, leadership is transparent, and growth is fast-tracked.

The Role

As a Research Consultant in the Research & Advisory division, you’ll play a key role in delivering end-to-end projects from design and analysis to client presentation and strategic recommendations.

You’ll bring:

- 2–4 years’ experience in market or social research

- Solid analytical and reporting skills (Q or R experience a plus)

- A knack for distilling complex data into clear, commercial insights

- A professional presence and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders

- An interest in brand, reputation, behaviour change, or communications strategy
