Research & Insights Analyst
Location: South Devon | Hybrid (4 days in office)
Salary: £40,000 - £45,000
About the Company
We’re working with a growing South West business that is looking to add to its team as part of its next stage of development. This is an opportunity for someone who is naturally curious, commercially aware, and interested in the world of technology. You’ll be joining a small, ambitious team where you’ll have the opportunity to learn quickly, take ownership, and make a genuine contribution. The office is based in South Devon and is easily commutable from Newton Abbot, Totnes, and surrounding areas.
The role could suit someone from a research, analyst, journalism, consulting, or market intelligence background who enjoys understanding new subjects and engaging with a wide range of people.
The Role
This is not a traditional desk-based research role. You’ll research companies and emerging market categories, speak directly with businesses to understand their products, positioning, and challenges, and turn what you learn into clear, useful insight for the wider team.
Preparation is an important part of the role. You’ll need to understand who you’re speaking to, know the right questions to ask, and be confident enough to probe further when an answer doesn’t quite stack up. You’ll work across multiple topics at once, combining independent research with external conversations and collaboration across the wider business.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Researching companies, products, and developing market categories.
- Carrying out detailed preparation ahead of external calls and meetings.
- Speaking directly with businesses to understand their products, positioning, and place within the market.
- Leading conversations and asking thoughtful, informed questions.
- Producing clear, concise research briefs and recommendations.
- Identifying trends, gaps, and useful market intelligence.
- Sharing relevant insight with colleagues across the business.
- Supporting outreach and developing relationships with external contacts.
- Using AI and digital tools to make research faster and more effective without compromising on quality.

What We’re Looking For
You’ll be someone who enjoys finding things out and is comfortable moving between detailed research and conversations with external stakeholders. You don’t necessarily need previous experience in technology, but you should have a genuine interest in the sector and enjoy getting to grips with new products, markets, and ideas.
We’re particularly interested in people who are:
- Strong researchers who prepare thoroughly and think critically about the information in front of them.
- Confident speaking with senior external stakeholders.
- Comfortable asking follow-up questions and challenging vague answers.
- Able to absorb a lot of information and quickly identify what matters.
- Clear and concise communicators, both verbally and in writing.
- Highly organized and comfortable managing several projects at once.
- Commercially aware and interested in how businesses operate.
- Comfortable approaching and building relationships with new people.
- Interested in technology and confident adopting new digital tools.

Essential Skills & Experience
You don’t need to come from a particular industry, and deep technical knowledge isn’t essential. We’re more interested in your ability to research, think critically, and hold an intelligent conversation. You could be a strong fit if you have:
- Experience researching complex or unfamiliar subjects.
- Experience interviewing, questioning, or engaging with external stakeholders.
- Strong written communication skills.
- The ability to turn large amounts of information into clear conclusions.
- Confidence using digital and AI tools. A relevant Master’s degree or strong academic research background could also work well, particularly if you can demonstrate strong communication skills and commercial awareness.
Why You’ll Love This Role
You’ll be joining a small team where you’ll be trusted to think for yourself and given plenty of variety in your work. You’ll gain exposure to interesting businesses and evolving areas of technology, while developing a valuable combination of research, commercial, and stakeholder-facing experience. If you enjoy learning, asking intelligent questions, and want a role that combines research with real conversations, we’d love to hear from you.
