Are you fascinated by human culture and behaviour? Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for brands, innovation and consumer behaviour? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you as a Senior Behavioural Analyst in London.
This is an opportunity to join a dynamic close-knit team focused on revealing the "why" behind consumer behaviour. You'll be leading exciting projects, collaborating with brilliant people, and delivering impact for clients like Nike, Google, Lego, Mindshare and Universal Music. If you're smart, nice, open-minded and passionate about people and business, we want to meet you!
About Us
We are Canvas8, a strategic insights practice operating out of London, NY, LA, & Singapore. We help our clients understand people so they can make better business decisions.
Our work is about investigating the hidden insights in everyday life - from the psychology of boredom to teenage make-up rituals to why Barbiecore is a Gen Y thing - and making them meaningful for brands. Our team is a blend of different disciplines and skills - from psychology to journalism, and anthropology to behavioural economics. What unites them is a desire to understand people and a passion for delivering outstanding work.
About The Role
This role is for a remarkable Senior Behavioural Analyst with 4+ years of relevant experience. You will be responsible for pioneering and leading innovative research and analysis across consultancy projects and through the Canvas8 Membership.
As part of the Consultancy team, you'll be researching cultural, social and technological shifts as well as changes in industry. The research is incredibly varied. One day you might be speaking to a scientist about the psychology of doom scrolling, the next you might be pouring over data to discover why teenagers have stopped playing sports.
You should have an ambition, drive, be personable and willing to get stuck in - leading strategic research projects, conducting analysis to solve client challenges, managing timelines and budgets, workshopping findings, designing deliverables, and debriefing clients.
You'll need to excel at project leadership and project management, thinking creatively, and problem-solving, have great awareness of cultural trends, be emotionally intelligent, naturally curious about people, and have exceptional analytical, written and communication skills.
With a brilliant team around you, your efforts will be instrumental in helping Canvas8 inspire the world's best brands, agencies and organisations.
