Ready to redefine how market research works?
If you love finding consumer insight but feel stuck doing repetitive work in a traditional agency, this is the step up you've been looking for.
We're looking for a smart, driven Research Manager to join our growing global Insights team. You'll combine strategic thinking, consulting, and fresh AI technology to help major brands make better decisions, faster.
Following QuMind's acquisition by Largo, we’re now part of an ambitious international team spanning London, Switzerland, and Los Angeles. We’re investing heavily in AI-powered research, digital twins, and the future of consumer intelligence.
If you're excited by where our industry is heading next, we want to hear from you.
Why join us?
You'll be joining at a brilliant point in our growth. We're building the next generation of insight consulting, bringing together skilled researchers with powerful automation tools. Rather than replacing researchers, our tech removes repetitive manual work, leaving you free to spend time doing what really matters:
- Solving business problems
- Building real client relationships
- Giving strategic advice
- Helping shape the future of research
The Role
As a Research Manager, you'll become a trusted advisor to a portfolio of major clients, leading research from proposal to final recommendations.
You'll run a wide mix of quantitative projects, support qualitative and community-based research where appropriate, and use our automated platform and AI-powered tools to deliver exceptional client experiences, working with product teams.
No two days look the same here. One day you might be presenting strategic recommendations to a major brand. The next, you could be testing how AI can automate reporting, working with our product teams to improve our platforms, or helping clients unlock the potential of digital twins and synthetic audiences.
