The Market Research team is part of Government & Engagement in the Chief Executive’s Directorate. We work across all aspects of the organisation and carry out market research with our customers, the communities we work with, our stakeholders and our staff.
Ideally you will have a relevant degree or equivalent qualification, or experience for the role including using a range of market research tools and techniques.
You'll be a quick-learner with a strong customer-focus and a desire to make a difference.
Project management will come naturally to you and you will be able to prioritise and manage a varied workload independently to deliver a challenging programme of work.
You’ll have excellent written and verbal communication skills and be confident in actively engaging with and influencing senior colleagues across the business (often remotely).
You'll be highly organised with an excellent attention to detail and a head for numbers, ensuring our work is delivered at pace and to a high standard.
