What’s it all about?

We have a great opportunity for a Research Manager to join our team working across a diverse range of clients from globally renowned companies to innovative emerging brands, we are proud of our expanding client portfolio. Our mission is to help all clients understand their customers, regardless of their industry.

You’ll need a passion for exploring new ideas and techniques in Market Research, along with solid experience in a commercial environment. We are looking for someone who is genuinely curious about client's issues, capable of turning findings into insights, and interested in building client relationships.

As a Research Manager, you will work on a variety of Quantitative projects and with the Qual team on those that are mixed methodology. We use creative and exciting tools to go the extra mile for our clients to ensure smooth and seamless work. You will be given the autonomy to use your research and sector knowledge, as well as have access to industry-leading research methodologies, tools, techniques, and proprietary thinking.

We have a strong team ethos, and you will receive plenty of support and be given challenging opportunities. You will have many chances for growth and development through on-the-job training and our Walnut Learning & Development initiatives.

If you have a hunger to better understand people and a desire to help brands help us all, get in touch. If you are an experienced Research Manager or Senior Research Executive looking to take the next step in your career, we encourage you to apply.

• Efficiently and creatively plan and manage medium sized research projects, and support on larger scale projects to ensure high levels of client satisfaction.
• Be involved in designing proposals, either as part of a team or lead with support of senior team members.
