Here’s a summary of the role:   

You will run and support UK and global fast-turnaround quantitative research projects, including Omnibus, B2B, Targeted Research and international studies across a wide range of topics. Working closely with senior researchers, client teams, and directly with clients, you’ll help design and deliver high-quality research that is clear, unbiased, and stands up to external scrutiny.

This role sits at the centre of YouGov’s fast-paced research environment and requires excellent communication, organisation, and attention to detail.

• Support senior researchers on larger, high-profile global projects
• Assist on Insight projects across multiple sectors
• Support commercial teams with feasibility checks, quotes, proposals, and client pitches
• Respond to fast-turnaround client requests and help win new business
• Use YouGov systems to manage projects, script surveys, and document client communications

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview: 

• Degree or HND in a relevant subject
• Quantitative research experience in a client-facing role
• Industry qualification desirable (e.g. MRS Advanced Certificate)
• Strong client-handling and communication skills
• Excellent organisation, time management, and attention to detail
• Comfortable working to tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment
