People join and stay not because they must, but because the work matters. Who this role suits A Qualitative Researcher with around 3–5 years’ experience (agency or consultancy background). Someone who’s confident moderating and enjoys unpacking complex human stories. A clear communicator who can distil findings into simple, sharp narratives. Resilient, adaptable, and ready to work at pace on challenging, meaningful topics. Someone who would enjoy mentoring junior researchers.

Supportive structure: a dedicated project coordination team frees you to focus on the thinking. Collaborative environment: dynamic workshops, idea-sharing, and collective storytelling are the norm. Professional growth: backed by strong training, mentorship, and company-wide development programs.
