Senior Research Director: brand & comms; quant; entrepreneurial; strategic client partnerships

This agency are doing things differently and their investment in innovation, commitment to giving their teams the autonomy to run their accounts as they see fit and the focus on staff development are really paying dividends.

The people here are hugely motivated.  They love the entrepreneurial culture and being able to make decisions for themselves.  They enjoy the support they get from the senior experts who are dedicated solely to developing and sharing ground-breaking ways of working and as a sounding board to bounce ideas around with. And they are engaged by the focus on creating great work for clients – rather than achieving financial goals. As a result, not only is this a great place to work (a senior-level recruit said that working here has made her “feel alive again”) but business is booming – they are winning major new accounts with plenty more in the pipeline.

We are looking for a quantitative global brand and comms expert who is already operating at Research Director level.  You’ll need instant credibility, be able to take on the role of trusted advisor to senior clients and help them increase the effectiveness of their communications and develop their brand equity – and you’ll need to enjoy using digital and new methodologies. You’ll have a good strategic brain, be used to leading global accounts and have a passion and flair for coaching and mentoring a team.

The ethos here is to get to know clients and work side by side with them so we need a real ‘people person’ who can develop relationships and who clients want to work with. This agency are hire smart, successful, dynamic senior people who are also down to earth, straight talking and thoroughly likeable. You’ll need to fit right in to this.

As they are working across a wide range of clients – FMCG, retail, FS, telecoms, media, content, entertainment… – we are open in terms of sector-specialism.  Having just won a major new FS account, experience in this area would be helpful – but is by no means a must-have.
