Junior Research Executive Market Research
Location: Hybrid Working between Office in Dorking and Home
Salary: From £30,000 per annum
Job Type: Full Time, Permanent
About the Company
Our client is a boutique market research agency founded 8 years ago. The company was inspired by an emergent trend in the Research industry for innovative, agile, online tools that allow research to be conducted in a quicker, more cost‑effective way. The business is run by senior researchers with both client‑side and agency‑side experience and backed up by a team of Research Executives skilled in their agile tools. The majority of work is quantitative, international and could be anything from skincare to pet food to automotive. Most employees are based within 90 minutes of Dorking. The team works mainly from home but connects frequently using Microsoft Teams and meets once a week in a rented office space near Dorking High Street. They work hard but are a friendly bunch, giving you opportunities to make a bigger impact and progress more quickly than you would in a bigger agency.
The Role
This is an entry‑level role. The primary focus is market research where you will be working on many different types of primarily quantitative research techniques. You will quickly learn about different research methodologies and their applications. It is a very hands‑on role; there is a lot to learn, but it is an interesting and rewarding industry. You will work with consumer‑facing brands in sectors such as skincare, petrochemical, alcoholic beverage, healthcare and consumer packaged goods. The business is based in Dorking, Surrey and you would be required to spend one day a week there, the rest of the time working from home. There may be a requirement to travel to clients occasionally. The company offers unlimited growth opportunities.
Analytical skills, a natural curiosity and Microsoft Office experience will be essential. A university graduate who is organised, motivated, hands‑on and able to grasp new concepts quickly, is professional, a good communicator, happy working remotely four days a week and has some understanding of how research & insights work from a project perspective.
Development will be continuously monitored and guided with reviews at 3, 6 and 10 months. If you progress in line with expectations there will be regular salary increases, such that in year 1 you would earn in excess of £30,000.
