Technical Consultant

At Verve, we're expanding what's possible in modern research. By combining Human, Cultural, and Artificial Intelligence, we help some of the world's most iconic brands make faster, smarter decisions.

Through our AI-powered platform, Verve Vero, we deliver transformative solutions - from Intelligent Personas and Simulations to advanced data processing - designed to make insight more scalable, repeatable, and impactful.

We move fast, think hard, and put people at the heart of everything we do.

About the Role:

We're looking for a technically-minded Consultant to join the Vero Build Studio.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong technical foundation (e.g., coding, data processing, adapting workflows) who wants to apply those skills in a client-facing consultancy setting.

You'll support our Technical Lead on complex builds - solving problems where standard processes need to be adapted, working hands-on with data, and helping deliver robust, client-ready AI-powered solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Build & Development

• Support complex builds (simulations, personas, datasets) by adapting existing build processes and code to fit specific client requirements.
• Work hands-on with data: processing, structuring, cleaning and preparing for simulations and analysis.
• Collaborate with the R&D team on new methods or tools, testing and integrating them into client-ready builds.
• Optimise technical workflows for repeatability and scalability.

Client Support

• Join client calls and workshops to provide technical perspective on build logic, data handling, and solution design.
• Explain complex technical concepts in clear, accessible language.
• Build credibility as a technical partner alongside consultants and Growth team.
• Work closely with our Technical Lead and the wider Build Studio team to ensure builds are consistent, high-quality, and robust.
• Share technical knowledge with consultants, enabling them to confidently talk about builds and processes.
• Contribute to internal documentation, QA processes, and knowledge-sharing.

What We're Looking For:

• 2 - 3 years experience in a technical, data or consultancy role (e.g., SRE, data engineer, or developer), ideally with exposure to working in collaborative, client-facing settings.
• Ability to adapt and work with code (e.g., Python, APIs, scripting, workflow logic).
• Strong skills in data processing and structuring (qual, quant, or mixed datasets).
• Analytical thinker with problem-solving mindset - able to adapt standard processes to new use cases.
• Comfortable explaining technical detail to non-technical audiences.
• Fluent English communication skills (written and verbal) - essential for client calls.
• Collaborative, curious, and proactive - thrives in an evolving environment.
• UK-based candidate. Able to work from our Manchester Hub at least once per month

Bonus Points For:

• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts (LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, RAG).
• Prior exposure to market research data and processes.

What we offer

• Exposure to cutting-edge AI tools and builds in a hands-on, applied environment.
• A client-facing technical role at the frontier of AI-powered consultancy.
• Fast-paced, collaborative, and supportive team culture.
• Opportunity to develop in both technical depth and client-facing consultancy skills.
