Role: Market Research Manager
Location: Homebased, UK
Contract Type: Permanent
Hours: Full time, 35 hours per week
Salary: £37,700 to £41,800 per annum
As Market Research Manager, you’ll take the lead on a varied portfolio of research that helps us understand our supporters, our audiences and the wider market. From brand and reputation tracking to supporter experience, campaign and event evaluation, you’ll manage projects from the initial brief through to the final recommendation, making sure the research we commission is robust, relevant and genuinely answers the question being asked. This is a role for someone who enjoys getting under the skin of a business issue, knowing when a brief needs challenging and choosing the right approach, whether that’s qualitative, quantitative or a mix of both.
Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.
You’ll work across the organisation, partnering with teams to shape research opportunities, manage external agencies and research panels, oversee budgets and make sure we get real value from the work we commission. Just as importantly, you’ll be the person who turns findings into something people can actually use. You’ll bring together research, data and wider intelligence, spot the story within the detail and communicate it in a way that is clear, credible and useful to the people making decisions. You’ll also play an important role in building research capability across the organisation, helping colleagues commission better research and use insight with greater confidence.
