About The Job
At Coloplast, our purpose is simple but powerful: making life easier for people with intimate healthcare needs. To support our UK growth ambitions and strengthen how we understand and serve our consumers, we are looking for a Head of Consumer Insight to lead and shape insight across the organisation.
This is a pivotal, senior role responsible for coordinating, creating, and curating all quantitative consumer insight for Coloplast UK including a huge transactional database. Acting as the single point of truth for consumer insight, you will bring together multiple data sources into a clear, coherent view that informs strategy, priorities, and everyday decision-making.
Partnering closely with senior leaders, you will ensure insight is forward-looking, curiosity-led, and actively shaping strategy, experience design, and long-term outcomes — not just reporting what has already happened.
The Role
As Head of Consumer Insight, you will:
- Translate the UK consumer activities and strategy into a clear and actionable insight framework, defining priority questions, data needs, and success measures.
- Lead the creation and curation of all Coloplast UK consumer insights, ensuring consistency, quality, and relevance.
- Identify gaps in consumer understanding and proactively commission or explore insight to address them.
- Turn complex, multi-source data into compelling narratives that resonate with senior leaders and diverse audiences.
- Act as a trusted thought partner, using insight to challenge assumptions and influence strategic direction.
- Build insight capability, confidence, and bench strength, setting clear standards for insight quality and use.
- Reduce duplication and ensure insight activity is joined-up, connected, and anchored to shared priorities.
- Partner effectively with global teams, internal stakeholders, and external agencies to maximise insight value.
- Champion a culture of insight-led thinking across Coloplast UK.
