INSPIRE SUCCESSFUL DECISIONS
Consumer Insight Consultant (LinkQ)

Hanger Lane, London (Hybrid)

If you are passionate about all things shopper, enjoy a challenge and thrive in a commercial environment then this role could be for you. Within a flexible working environment, as a LinkQ Client Consultant the work you do will have a direct impact on our clients success, building highly actionable survey powered solutions that help our clients brands and businesses grow.

LinkQ is our bespoke questionnaire service, powered by our multitude of behavioural panels. A specialist area that uses our unique knowledge of shopper behaviour combined with technology enabled platforms, to identity the key shopper attitudes and purchase choices clients need to win to grow their brands.

This is an exciting time to join a unique team that has been identified as a growth platform for our business, growing double digits, and where you can play a key role in helping to shape the evolving offer for future growth.

You will hold responsibility for helping to sell, create and run bespoke quantitative projects for a across our broadest range of clients with brands we know and love, going beyond FMCG into categories such as toys, DIY, sports, fashion, beauty etc. You will be trained in developing bespoke questionnaires, allowing you to develop your skillset at Kantar further by working in more of an ad hoc ‘custom-style’ environment; having direct responsibility over the creation of new, compelling insights for your clients. The overall LinkQ offer focuses on shopper, innovation, category and brand strategy but is developing all the time and you will also get the opportunity to shape this.

The key to the role is unlocking client potential for LinkQ by inspiring your colleagues who work day-to-day with their clients. You will do this through partnering with them to build knowledge, offer ideas, listening to their client and industry issues and ultimately building a strong network for the offer. In this role you will be the eyes and ears of the service with our newer clients listening to client feedback and developing new commercial ideas for new thinking.

As a senior member of the team, you will be heavily involved in the department strategy - championing the service, improving levels of insight, maintaining levels of data quality as well as the development of the service and deliverables.

KEY OUTCOMES

Revenue and building future growth: Delivery against our commercial team targets, identifying opportunities to meet and exceed these targets. Raising awareness of our offer internally and externally, identifying new opportunities by listening to client needs and bringing new ideas and thinking to our solutions.
Clients: Act as the senior contact on all clients you work with – setting an example to the team by adding value to client relationships through our ideas and deliver best in class projects, meaning they come back to work with us time and time again
Insight: You will lead the briefing, pitching and solution design as well as be the client lead on projects. This will always involve being able to write questionnaires, inputs that deliver the insights we need when combined with actual shopper behaviour. You will be responsible for the quality of the work and will coach and lead the other team members (junior colleagues) as well as advising client service lead and other project team members.
Team: This role will line manage 1 person initially but as a part of a closely knit team with additional resource support you will be expected to work with other colleagues as needed.

CAPABILITIES

Commercially strong and able to spot sales opportunities and convert them.
Custom research or questionnaire knowledge a real advantage.
Be a very strong team player and be able to ‘bring people with you’ in the work you do
Excellent proposal writing skills
Be confident creating solutions that connect insights to clients plans or strategies
