    The Communications team conducts a wide range of communications development, campaign evaluation and customer insight research programmes, tackling issues in policy areas ranging from education to public health and environmental behaviours to the justice system. We work with Transport for London on a range of customer insight and marketing evaluation programmes, and have evaluated most of the Government's flagship campaigns, such as THINK road safety, Vaccines, Be Clear on Cancer, organ donation and Prison Officer recruitment. Our work is always interesting, it often involves sensitive issues, and it makes a real difference to the world we live in.

    • Developing our offer by drawing on advanced knowledge and skills, creating new solutions, and training the team
    • Team planning and strategy, and skills and capability development across the team
    • Line managing one or more individuals, and supporting their work and development

    Your profile

    • Expertise in quantitative customer insight and communications research, ideally with some experience of qualitative methods as well
    • Project oversight experience, with an ability to lead a research team to deliver excellent work to time and budget
    • Able to build trusted relationships with varied clients, understand their needs and priorities, help answer their questions and advise on solutions
    • Confident in triangulating data, finding the story in that data, and presenting this to clients effectively
    • Looking for innovation (in methods, outputs or ways of working) and resilience to challenge and be challenged
