Insight Director / Research Director – 12‑month FTC (UK‑wide)
We’re supporting a leading research agency looking for an Insight Director / Research Director to cover a 12‑month maternity leave. The role offers flexibility on location, with remote working and periodic travel for onboarding and key team sessions.
This is a senior leadership role overseeing mixed‑method insight, client strategy, and team development. A strong generalist Insight or Research Director is very welcome; product testing experience or sensory/R&D familiarity would be helpful but not essential.
What you’ll lead
Client strategy across major FMCG and consumer accounts
Quant & qual oversight and delivery excellence
Team leadership and capability development
Commercial judgement across proposals and account growth
Collaboration with innovation, R&D and commercial teams
What they’re looking for
A generalist Insight Director or Research Director with strong commercial and leadership experience
FMCG, consumer insight or innovation background
Comfortable working remotely with occasional travel
Product testing/sensory experience is a bonus, not a requirement
Role details
12‑month fixed‑term contract
Hybrid / remote with occasional travel
Salary: £58k–£65k (fixed range)
ASAP start — ideal crossover before maternity leave begins in early November
