Senior Research Executive

Description:

You will be a Senior Research Executive with strong research fundamentals and growing quantitative capability. You’ll focus on research craft: designing studies, managing fieldwork, working with data, and producing clear, high-quality analysis and deliverables. You’ll support the Insight Manager in running projects smoothly and at pace, while building confidence with clients through reliable, well-organised delivery.

You’ll have increasing ownership of workstreams within projects (e.g. questionnaire or discussion guide drafting, survey scripting briefs, fieldwork coordination, data checks, analysis, and slide preparation). Client influence and strategic steering will typically be led by the Insight Manager/Director, but you will be expected to communicate clearly, contribute ideas, and represent Sparkminds professionally.

Specific Skills / Qualifications

· Experience and confidence in quantitative workstreams (qualitative experience beneficial).

· Strong written & verbal communication skills; able to write clearly and structure thinking.

· Highly organised and experienced at prioritising and managing tasks across multiple projects.

· High attention to detail and strong quality-control instincts (data checks, logic checks, proofing, consistency).

· Comfortable working with data in Excel; confident in analysis; able to build strong data visualization in charts; and able to understand & learn new tools quickly.

· Strong MS Office skills – particularly PowerPoint & Excel.

· Curious about brands, advertising and human behaviour; motivated to find the ‘why’ behind the data.

· Comfortable using AI-enabled tools to accelerate drafting/synthesis where appropriate, while maintaining rigour, confidentiality and clear provenance.
