Research Analyst – Richmond – £35K

 This Research Analyst role is focused on international primary and secondary research, including surveys, executive interviews, analysis of data and statistics and report writing. The work is both quantitative and qualitative. The role is varied as you will be involved in reports, consulting, newsletters and conference activities.

Candidates must be fluent in English (essential) – fluency in another language is valuable but not essential.  They regularly use the following European languages: French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and Turkish, and also have an interest in non-European languages including Arabic, Farsi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin and Thai.

Successful candidates will typically have a mix of strong communication, writing and numerical skills, and the ability to build relationships with research contacts around the world.

You will have significant individual responsibility, while working as part of larger project teams. As you build your career within the business you will gain increased project manager responsibilities. You will acquire knowledge of and insight into the latest developments in banking and retail automation, cards and payments plus a wide range of research and strategy consulting skills.

This position is ideal for candidates with 2-6 years of researcher, analyst or other post-degree experience – this would perhaps be your second or third job. They are looking for motivated graduates able to work on their own and in teams. You should have a good academic background, an understanding of research and analysis and fluent (native standard) written and spoken English.

The role is 100% office-based initially, as the company continues to believe that this is the most conducive to performance and development. After a year, research analysts have the option to work from home for one day a week, and after 3 years, that goes up to two days a week.  

Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm.
