Overview of the role:

Researchbods are an insights agency that partners with brands to deliver customer data and intelligence that helps answer our clients key research and business questions. A large part of what we do is by building and maintaining insight communities. These are invitation only communities where clients invite their customers, or other groups they wish to know more about Members of these communities then participate in research activities such as surveys, focus groups and discussions.
What does the Community Manager do?
As a Community Manager you are responsible for ensuring the members of the community are kept engaged and that community activities are executed flawlessly. This is an important, client facing role that is highly visible to the rest of the business and is a great introduction to the world of market research.
Typically your day could include meeting with clients, creating new ideas for engagement, writing newsletter content, moderating the community and helping members with any problems they may have. However, because you will work on several different communities, no two days are the same.

Ideally you will have previous experience in community management or in market research, but dont worry if you dont. We also want to speak to you if worked in social media, customer service or another role that has transferrable skills.
We are also keen to hear from you if youre in the very early stages of your career as this role may also be of interest to recent graduates (or equivalent qualification). So long as you can demonstrate the attributes we need, then we will help develop you and get you to the level you need to be.
Creativity and presentation skills are an absolute must for this role, as you will often be relied upon to come up with new and engaging ideas for members, interesting ways to present information back to clients and just good old problem solving!
We will give you the opportunity to work with many consumer facing brands across the UK and Europe, be rewarded with a competitive basic salary, provide a great working environment where everyone is valued and encouraged to succeed as well as a whole host of great benefits and perks. You will be supported and encouraged to develop your career and we have seen many of our Community Managers progress to more senior roles within the team as well as other roles around the business.
We are working in a hybrid way with a mixture of office and home working.
Your focus and responsibilities:
- Day to day management of a number of communities that we run on behalf of our clients. E.g ITV, Nandos, The National Trust, NBC Universal, Deliveroo, Jaguar Landrover etc.
