Job Description
Research Information Officer
Greenwich, London (office-based)
9:30am – 5:30pm | Monday – Friday
Permanent role
About the Role
We are working with a specialist research consultancy that produces independent labour market analysis used in employment tribunals, courts and public inquiries.
Their work focuses on analysing labour market trends, salaries, benefits and employment patterns across the UK and internationally.
They are now looking to hire a Research Information Officer to join their London-based research team.
This role would suit someone with 1–3 years’ experience in research or analyst roles, particularly within:
* Market intelligence
* Desk research
* Economic or labour market research
* Policy or public sector research
* Research analyst roles
Unlike many research roles, the work produced here has real-world impact — reports are regularly relied upon in employment tribunals, High Court cases and major public inquiries.
What You’ll Be Doing
Working as part of a small and highly analytical research team, you will contribute to the production of labour market assessments and employment reports used in legal proceedings.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Conducting labour market and salary research using a range of public and proprietary sources
* Analysing salary surveys, pay scales and employment data across different occupations and sectors
* Producing structured research notes, tables and written analysis for inclusion in expert reports
* Identifying and validating reliable sources and statistics relevant to specific cases
* Supporting research used in employment tribunal cases and wider legal proceedings
* Conducting primary research, including questionnaires or contacting organisations for information
* Using Excel to analyse and present salary and employment data clearly
* Contributing to the development and maintenance of the organisation’s research library
The role combines analytical desk research, data interpretation and structured written reporting.
What They’re Looking For
This role would suit someone who enjoys structured research and evidence-based analysis.
Ideal candidates will have:
* 1–3 years’ experience in a research or analyst role
* Strong desk research and information gathering skills
* The ability to analyse data and draw logical conclusions
* Excellent written communication skills
* High levels of attention to detail and accuracy
* Confidence using Excel to analyse and present data
* Interest in labour markets, employment trends or economic research
Experience with salary benchmarking, labour market data, policy research or economic datasets would be beneficial but is not essential.
Why This Role Is Interesting
* Research that directly influences legal decisions
* Exposure to employment law, labour markets and economic analysis
* Work on high-profile cases and major public inquiries
* Join a small, intellectually rigorous research team
* Develop deep expertise in labour market and salary analysis
Location
The role is based in Greenwich, London, and candidates should be comfortable working in the office full-time initially.
Next Steps
If you enjoy digging into data, uncovering reliable evidence and producing structured research outputs, this role offers a unique opportunity to apply those skills in a highly impactful environment.
