* Work with a variety of brands to uncover customer pain points in real time

About You

You're a confident client partner who enjoys working at the intersection of data, storytelling and commercial decision-making. You're comfortable engaging with category managers and thrive in environments where collaboration, quality and continuous improvement matter.

You bring a strong insights background, ideally gained within FMCG, retail, category management or agency settings, and are looking to fast-track your career, working with innovative global solutions.

You'll Have

* 2-3 years' experience in insights, research, category or marketing roles
* Proven ability to manage and grow stakeholder relationships
* Analytical skills with the ability to turn data into actionable insights
* Strong project management and stakeholder coordination skills
* Advanced MS Office skills and a high attention to detail
* Degree-qualified in business, marketing, psychology or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)
* Flexible working arrangements to suit your lifestyle
* Your own tailored and funded education budget and/or additional annual leave
* Training and development opportunities with industry leaders
