Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for unearthing story-led insights and shaping the future of brand and consumer decision-making?

We're working with one of Australia's most innovative strategic insights consultancies. As an agency, they are at the forefront of understanding how technology and AI are changing consumer behaviour, the choices they make, how they act and the impact that has for the traditional marketing funnel, product and service innovation, CX and brand trust. They're not just observing consumer behaviour, they're decoding it, using cutting-edge frameworks and AI-powered solutions to advise some of the biggest names in Finance, Retail, Services & FMCG.

Now, they're looking to bring in a
Senior Research Manager
to join their high-performing team in Sydney.

The Role:

As a Senior Research Manager, you'll work across a mix of strategic ad hoc and continuous work, with a focus on
brand
,
CX
, and
innovation
. You'll spend approximately
20% of your time on a large-scale international brand tracker
for a major client, recently expanded to include North and South America and the remainder split across
ad hoc strategic studies
in
finance
and
FMCG
(think conjoint, segmentations, CVP development, etc.).

This is a
client-facing
role with full
end-to-end project ownership
: from proposal input to questionnaire design, analysis (Q), and delivering insight-rich, strategic outputs.

What You'll Bring:

  • 4+ years' experience in a commercial research agency or consultancy
  • Strong client management and project delivery skills
  • Proven ability to design research instruments and extract story-led insights
  • Proficiency in Q and a head for numbers and behavioural patterns
  • A naturally curious mindset and strong initiative
  • Comfortable applying frameworks to business challenges and influencing decision-making

Why This Role?

This agency is making waves. Their work is award-winning, highly strategic, and spans everything from
brand strategy and segmentation
to
CX, pricing, journey mapping
, and
behavioural science
. They have a hybrid, flexible working model (fab offices in the inner city ), a growing team of 50+, and a culture that celebrates creativity, collaboration, and intellectual rigour.

The Offer:

  • $110,000–$120,000 package
    , depending on experience
  • Additional leave with tenure, mental health days, and generous parental leave
  • Structured L&D support and career pathways
