Overview
We are seeking an experienced Strategy Project Lead to take over and deliver two ongoing strategic insight projects for a major household-name banking brand. Both projects focus on the first-time buyers market and are already underway - you will ensure a seamless transition, manage delivery to completion, and maintain strong client relationships.
This is a hands-on strategic leadership role, ideal for an insight professional with a proven track record in multi-method research integration (quantitative, qualitative, social listening) and the ability to translate findings into clear, actionable strategies.

* Manage and guide project teams, providing direction, support, and motivation.
* Integrate insights from multiple research streams (quantitative surveys, qualitative communities, social listening) into coherent strategic recommendations.
* Design and facilitate client workshops to co-create actionable plans.
* Act as the main point of contact for the client, maintaining strong communication and stakeholder alignment.
* Synthesize complex findings into engaging, business-ready outputs for senior audiences.
Requirements
* Proven experience leading strategic insight projects end-to-end, ideally within financial services, housing, or similarly regulated markets.
* Strong background in both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
* Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex, multi-source data into clear strategic direction.
* Skilled workshop facilitator with excellent communication and presentation skills.
* Experience managing and motivating teams in high-pressure, fast-moving environments.
* Able to start immediately and quickly adapt to in-progress work.
