About The Position

We are seeking a Project Manager for our London office to act as the internal engine of our project delivery. Your focus will be purely operational as you will support the resourcing, planning and execution of projects and play a vital role in the success of our business. If you're ready to join a team that values people, creativity, and the power of understanding clients’ audiences to impact their business outcomes, we want to hear from you!

Requirements

You have 3–5 years of experience managing the logistics of qualitative and quantitative research projects (interviews, focus groups, and online communities).
You are an expert at drafting complex screeners and have a proven track record of managing fieldwork agencies and participant recruitment vendors to tight deadlines.
You’re comfortable with numbers. You can build project costings from scratch, track billable hours against budgets, and ensure projects remain profitable without sacrificing quality.
Familiarity with UK, global, Europe, and APAC vendors.

Responsibilities

Day-to-day execution of qualitative methodologies including writing screeners, consumer recruitment, contracting global suppliers.
Partner with project leads at the kickoff stage to map out resources, plan timelines, and set the foundation for a successful client engagement.
Write compelling screeners and manage external recruitment partners to ensure we find the exact "needle-in-a-haystack" participants our clients need.
Own the "hard costings" for every project. You’ll be responsible for tracking hours and managing budgets to ensure our work remains as profitable as it is impactful.
While your focus is the UK, you’ll be a key player in our global expansion, contributing to US-based projects and complex international costings.
Act as the central hub for updates, ensuring project teams, the wider PM department, and our clients are always aligned and informed.
