Research Director

We are looking for an evaluation-focused Research Director with proven business generation experience.

You will sit at the heart of our Research and Consulting team. You will have significant responsibility for business generation through bid writing and relationship management. You will also lead flagship projects and play a key role in managing our talented team.

Further detail is available in our Candidate Pack for this role, which can be found on our website.

You'll have a proven track record of winning mid- to large-sized evaluation contracts. This might be through strong bid writing, or through brilliant account management - or a combination of both.

You'll also have a strong history of delivering large, complex projects.

Ideally, your areas of expertise will overlap with our specialist sectors: education and skills, health, science and technology, utilities, transport and housing/built environment.

If you have econometric evaluation experience, that would be a bonus.

You will be joining a forward-thinking, ambitious company. No two weeks are the same. We enjoy an intellectually stimulating and dynamic working environment. We're proud of the work we do and strive for excellence.

This means that we can't always promise a completely predictable working week. At the same time, we value work-life balance, and our team tell us that we are good at managing this.

Our size means that we're good at seeing the individual and helping people reach their full potential. Formed from the merger of three small agencies, we have strong team togetherness while enjoying the perks of life as a larger entity.

We offer a generous package, details of which are included in our Candidate Pack for this role.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, we'd love to hear from you.
