Job Description

Junior Data Scientist – Quantitative Market Research (Agency Side)

📍 Hybrid – London | £28,000–£30,000 | Full-time

We’re partnering with a well-established yet fast-evolving boutique analytics consultancy that specialises in providing quantitative research and data science solutions to both research agencies and end clients. This agency has recently become part of a growing insights group, giving them access to exciting new projects, strong infrastructure, and an innovative environment – while still retaining a friendly, close-knit culture.

This is a rare opportunity to join a tight and highly capable data science team, working at the cutting edge of research analytics. Whether it's helping a major brand uncover customer segments, building conjoint simulations, or solving ad hoc analytical challenges, the work is varied and intellectually rewarding.

The Role

We’re looking for a Junior Data Scientist (graduate to 2 years' experience) with a strong quantitative background and a desire to grow within a collaborative team. You’ll work on full-service analytics projects, supporting everything from questionnaire design and fieldwork to deep data analysis and reporting.

Expect exposure to:

  • MaxDiff, segmentation, conjoint, and other advanced analytical methods
  • Key driver analysis, simulators, and ad hoc statistical problem solving
  • Designing and executing the quant elements of research studies
  • Working in Displayr (training provided), Excel, and other analytics tools
  • Creating dashboards, insights reports, and internal tools to support clients

    You’ll be supported by a small, smart team of Data Scientists and Directors who love what they do, and you’ll receive hands-on mentoring to quickly build up your capability.

    What We’re Looking For

    You might be a graduate with an internship, someone with up to 2 years’ experience in research or analytics, or a postgrad looking for your first commercial role.

    Must-haves:

  • Comfortable with numbers and data; strong analytical mindset
  • Confident in Excel and able to pick up new software tools quickly
  • A problem-solver – curious, methodical, and eager to learn
  • Degree in a relevant subject (not limited to maths/stats – psychology, economics, neuroscience, etc. welcome)
  • Excellent communication skills and a team-focused approach

    Bonus (not essential):

  • Internship or experience in market research / analytics
  • Knowledge of techniques like regression, segmentation, significance testing
  • Exposure to SPSS, R, Q, Sawtooth, Displayr, or similar platforms

    Why Join?

  • Vibrant team with great culture – monthly socials, poker nights, London drinks
  • Flexible hybrid working – minimum 1 day/week in office
  • High retention – people stay because they enjoy the work and the team
  • You won’t be siloed – work with multiple clients across many sectors
  • A chance to build a genuine career in data science within market research
