About the role
OnePoll is the second most quoted market research agency in the UK, and we are looking for an experienced Research Manager to join our talented research team. As part of top 100 PR Agency
72Point, the Research Manager will report to our Research Director and support internal creative
and sales teams as well as external clients.
This is a hands-on role which requires demonstrable skills in questionnaire design, survey scripting
and data analysis/ reporting, as well as experience in managing research projects and mentoring
those junior to this role. We actively support career relevant personal development & training across
the business, both with internal training and industry specific programmes.
We are looking for someone with an outgoing personality; you will be required to liaise with clients
for survey work and to give presentations alongside our sales team. Daily online communication
with OnePoll’s main office in Bristol will also be required.
This is an active and collaborative role - working in an energetic environment with a friendly and
team from research, commercial and creative backgrounds. The ideal candidate will help run our
London Office in Farringdon, working on a wide range of online research projects for Market
Research and PR clients across B2B, B2C and opinion polling.
The role is currently largely home based, going into the office 2 days a week. The pandemic
revealed efficiencies that led to increased productivity through working from home and we are keen
to maintain a hybrid approach that makes the best of blending working from home with onsite
collaboration. For this reason, we're happy to consider applicants within commuting distance of
Farringdon, London.
To apply, please provide full CV, details of your salary expectations and explain why you feel you fit
the job spec.
