Current Vacancies

Working in our award-winning team, you’ll deliver high-quality qualitative and mixed-method projects, deepen and grow client relationships, and bring in new business that fuels our next phase of growth. This is a senior, commercially-minded role. Alongside leading excellent research, you’ll own client relationships, spot and convert new opportunities, and be a confident ambassador for Magenta wherever you go. It’s a rare chance to have genuine input into a small, ambitious agency – and to be recognised and rewarded for the business you help build.

Own and grow key client relationships, becoming the trusted advisor clients return to again and again. Bring in new business – developing prospects into clients, writing winning proposals and delivering pitches that showcase Magenta’s thinking. Develop and deliver strategic account plans, with responsibility for revenue targets. Identify new market opportunities and help Magenta expand into new sectors and services. Take ultimate responsibility for client satisfaction across your accounts.

Lead research projects end to end, across a diverse range of clients and sectors. Take, interrogate and challenge client briefs, keeping the focus firmly on their business outcomes. Design research that gets to the answers that matter – confidently across qualitative and mixed methods. Turn complex data into compelling, beautifully told stories, in whatever format best suits the project. Keep a close eye on project finances so work is delivered profitably. Help drive innovation – blending qualitative depth with quantitative precision and bringing emerging methods and technologies into our work.

Mentor and inspire junior researchers, championing a culture of curiosity and continuous learning. Stay open to learning yourself, working with us to shape your own development. Create thought leadership – articles, talks and conference presentations – that positions both Magenta and you as a leading voice in the industry.

A strong track record of building close, lasting client relationships – ideally including clients in the FMCG / consumer goods sector, such as parent companies with multiple brands under one umbrella (P&G, Unilever, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola or similar). A proven commercial and business development track record – generating leads, winning work and growing accounts. A qualitative or mixed-method background. You should be confident leading qualitative projects and comfortable talking about both qual and quant – we frequently integrate the two. We’re not looking for a quant-only skillset. Significant research experience (typically 7+ years) with a track record of delivering high-impact insight. Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex findings into compelling narratives. An entrepreneurial spirit and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, flexible and non-hierarchical environment. Ideally, a track record of thought leadership (publications, conference presentations, industry recognition).

You’ll have the rare opportunity to shape not just projects, but the entire trajectory of our company. We work remotely but get together regularly to work and socialise. This might be a day-long analysis session as we battle out the insight and story for a client, or simply a day out with clients enjoying the summer sunshine and drinks. You’re encouraged to bring your passions to work and champion them by attending and presenting at webinars and conferences, contributing to industry developments. We offer a competitive salary, flexible working, a fun environment, and a genuine work-life balance by finding out what that actually looks like for you. We’ll also consider different working patterns for the right candidate. Some of the benefits include: Personal training budget to spend on whatever you think will help you do your job better. 25 days annual leave + we close between Christmas and New Year. 2 days a year to volunteer. Early finish Fridays in the summer. All employees are part of the company bonus scheme. Pension.
