About Us

This agency helps ambitious brands grow by connecting them to culture, consumers, and new ways of thinking. Their work goes far beyond focus groups, bringing together deep qualitative research, cultural insights, behavioural science, and creative strategy to understand how people think, feel, and act.

The Role

As a Senior Consultant for Qualitative Research, you will play a key role in the Sydney team's growth and delivery. This is a hands-on role where you'll run end-to-end qualitative projects while building client relationships and sharpening your strategic thinking.

Your projects will span brand strategy, behaviour change, innovation, comms testing, product development, and segmentation—a diverse mix that will keep you stimulated and challenged.

Key Responsibilities
  • Running qualitative projects from proposal to debrief
  • Moderating focus groups, IDIs, online communities, co-creation sessions, and workshops
  • Generating meaningful insights and turning them into compelling client stories
  • Building trusted client relationships across FMCG, Tech, FS, and Retail
  • Delivering polished reports and impactful presentations
  • Mentoring and guiding juniors where needed
  • Supporting new business opportunities alongside senior leaders
About You

We're looking for an ambitious qualitative researcher with 4+ years' experience in a research agency environment. You'll thrive on problem-solving, love storytelling, and enjoy being close to the detail while developing your strategic edge.

Benefits & Culture

This is a people-first agency where egos are left at the door. You'll be supported by experienced leaders while having the freedom to shape your career path. Expect:

  • A fast-paced, high-growth environment with international backing
  • Transparent, inspiring leadership
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Career progression based on merit, not years of service
  • A fun, social, collaborative team with a start-up feel but established credibility
