1 week ago

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Resources Group Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

It's time to sharpen your edge as a strategist.

You've mastered the research craft. Now you're ready for the stretch - bigger challenges, smarter marketing thinking, and projects that make an impact.

This role delivers with a high-profile portfolio of FMCG and Services clients to lead, the buzz of guiding 1–2 Consultants, mentorship from an amazing Director, and a project mix that goes wide on methodology and deep on strategy. Think projects like:

  • Future-focused innovation and pack/price optimisation for a major drinks FMCG
  • Pack refreshes, flavour studies, and brand asset tracking for a major food FMCG
  • Foundational strategic research to help retailers like Coles unlock new blue-sky opportunities
  • Cultural foresight work exploring the future of pet ownership
  • Brand tracking and segmentation to sharpen comms for a leading telco

In this role, you'll:

  • Lead client relationships with clarity and confidence
  • Deliver gold-standard quantitative thinking
  • Run a mix of ad hoc and tracking projects from proposal to presentation
  • Push the boundaries of what strategic insights can do
  • Mentor and support 1–2 brilliant Consultants
  • Contribute to company culture and broader strategic direction

Does this sound like you?

  • You thrive in a high-performing, high-trust culture where growth is real, not lip service
  • You love collaborating in a multidisciplinary team – qual, quant, culture, behavioural, brand, and marketing science
  • You're looking for purpose as well as progression – this B-Corp certified agency walks the talk
  • You want the scale and stability of a larger agency, with the agility and spirit of an independent
  • You're keen to grow – not just up, but deep – whether that's building your pipeline, becoming a brilliant people leader, dealing with tricky conversations, or honing your storytelling craft

Oh, and the benefits?

Market-leading salary + bonuses, 26 weeks paid parental leave, 25 days holiday, flexible-first working, health and wellbeing perks, public holiday swaps, volunteering, socials and an amazing L&D program

What we're looking for:

  • Deep experience in consumer insights, especially quant
  • Strong market research agency-side background.
  • Customised, ad hoc work essential.
  • Inspiring storyteller, sharp thinker, commercial brain
  • Team builder with energy, ideas, and follow-through
  • FMCG and Services experience, please

If you're ready to bring your smarts to a business that's all-in on its people, its purpose, and your progression - this could be the move that sharpens your edge.
