Qualitative Associate Director
3 days ago
_This agency firmly believes that the key to making better decisions and creating a positive future is connecting and deeply understanding people's experiences._
- _
Government departments, social enterprises, charities, and commercial organisations across Australia have trusted this agency to solve their most complex problems for the past three decades.
Their work informs policy and shapes communication strategies, programmes, products, and services, all while shedding light on social issues across many industries - education, healthcare, sustainability, utilities, financial services, agriculture, arts and tourism. Experts at helping social and commercial organisations navigate the future; their insights inform - brand positioning, new product development, campaign evaluation, behaviour change, policy evaluation, communications testing, and reputation.
They do this by blending people and culture data with technology and rigorous qualitative and quantitative thinking, allowing under the skin what Australians think, feel, need, and want.
**The role: As the Sydney team grows, they are excited to welcome a passionate, curious and experienced qualitative thinker to their team.**
***
As a Qualitative Associate Director, you'll lead a constant stream of bespoke projects from conception to delivery or strategic roadmaps. Your value add will be your ability to build trusted relationships with clients, story tell, and deliver recommendations that cut through the noise.
Leading by example, you'll be equally confident presenting to c-suites as you are with facilitating qualitative research utilising your whole toolkit of methodologies - workshops, online communities, in-depth interviews, focus groups, behavioural insights, ethnography, and cultural insights.
This is the perfect forward step for a qualitative strategist who wants more flexibility, creativity and autonomy and who craves delivering meaningful insights that lead to real change. You must have prior qualitative research experience in a senior capacity within an agency environment.
**Their culture**:
They know that a diverse team creates the best work and are an agency filled with people who want to improve things. Flexibility is tailored around the individual with a genuine commitment to work-life balance and great time-in-lieu policies. They are kind, honest, and inherently curious individuals who strive to drive positive impact.
Sitting within a global brand and comms agency, they offer brilliant benefits - 1:1 mentoring, market-leading parental leave, mini-MBAs, conference attendance, additional leave, volunteer leave, social events and stocks within the wider business.
