Job description

Edelman Data & Intelligence (DxI) is an Insights and Research agency with a unique twist. We are part of Edelman, the world’s largest independent communications company, but with a boutique agency spirit amongst the 80 people in the DXI team. We are working within a truly integrated global network on some of the world’s biggest and most exciting clients: LVMH, Unilever, IKEA, GSK, Nissan, Lidl, HEINEKEN, Ferrero (just to name a few) as well as public authorities, governments and charities.

Edelman Data & Intelligence (DxI) is a global research, analytics, performance and data consultancy. We uncover actionable insights, inform strategic decisions and drive measurable impact. Edelman Data & Intelligence (DxI) conducts truly varied work: thought leadership, CSR research, ROI and measurement, strategy and audience understanding, influencer mapping and much more.

As an Account Executive, you will provide support in the design, management and execution of a variety of primary (quantitative and qualitative) and secondary research projects (media measurement, influencers identification, risks assessment, landscape analysis, trends analysis, etc.).

This role will give you the opportunity to work on a variety of projects under the direction of an Account Manager, yet will also allow you to take the lead on smaller ad-hoc assignments. This is an opportunity to work within a communications agency and expand your knowledge of how communications are brought to life and activated. At the same time, your projects will focus on larger issues impacting the environment our clients work in, whether this is understanding the impact of government legislation, tracking opinions and trends or segmenting the digital population. You will be part of an engaging, fast-paced environment, working with a dynamic and international team.

Candidate Expectations:

Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Strong numeracy and analytical skills
Strong knowledge of the Microsoft Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)
High level of organisational and time management skills
