Weekly office requirement: Hybrid, 1 day per week

Employment type: Permanent, full-time.

At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Junior Research Analyst to play a key role in our Custom teeam in London. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔

As our Junior Research Analyst you’ll be responsible for running small to medium Custom Research projects and supporting your manager on larger projects. You will ultimately own/lead client comms and take responsibility for all day to day from study sign off to data delivery. It is important that this person develops great relationships both with clients and with teams across the business. You will clearly understand client research needs by thoroughly reviewing briefing documents and participating in meetings to ensure alignment with their objectives. Based on these insights, you will provide input on the most effective research approach and develop tailored questions or surveys to address the client’s specific requirements. You will manage multiple custom research projects of various types, ensuring they are delivered on time and meet agreed deadlines. You will ensure all data delivered is accurate and aligned with the client’s needs. Furthermore, you will clearly and concisely explain the findings of any project. Throughout, you will communicate effectively and accurately with all teams within the business, including operations, data, and revenue teams, adhering to designated protocols.

A few things you’ll be responsible for:

👉 Supporting the delivery of small to medium custom research projects, assisting with day-to-day tasks from study setup through to data delivery

👉 Contributing to questionnaire design, survey logic, and research materials under the guidance of senior team members

👉 Assisting with data checks, analysis, and the creation of clear, well-structured outputs that accurately reflect research findings

👉 Collaborating with internal teams (research, operations, data, and commercial) to help ensure projects run smoothly and deadlines are met

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for GWI is all about. You’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and work in a high-tempo environment.

What do I need to bring with me? 🧳

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for in you:

👉 An understanding of methodologies used in market research (e.g. interview approaches and survey data), and how clients might benefit from them

👉 An awareness of research practices including questionnaire writing, quotas and weighting

👉 Ability produce well-written and designed outputs using survey data

👉 An ability to adapt quickly to constantly changing business requirements, requests, and commercial team needs.

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.
