The opportunity: We are looking for you or maybe someone you know…
Are you curious by nature? Do you have an entrepreneurial mindset to work like a consultant? Do you get excited by the power of AI to transform how research is done? Are you a method-agnostic thinker who loves blending traditional rigour with next-gen tools? Do you believe in making data more actionable, more automated, and more valuable? If so, Edelman DXI is looking for you.
We are seeking a Consultant (Integrated Insights) who brings strong research fundamentals, project management skills, and the ability to confidently manage clients, and turn insight into influence. You’ll work across primary, secondary, and AI-powered methodologies— managing complex projects from proposal writing through to final deliverables and day-to-day client engagement.
This is not just a traditional researcher role — it’s a role for someone excited to shape the future of research: combining classic rigour with AI-powered efficiency, embedding insights into strategic communications, and helping evolve our most forward-looking offers — from Trust and Measurement to Content and Executive Intelligence.
The Role of Consultant (Integrated Insights)
As a Consultant, you’ll be expected to confidently lead research engagements from scoping to delivery — managing stakeholders, timelines, and outputs with minimal oversight. You’ll work across methods (quant, qual, secondary) and be encouraged to embed AI tools into everyday delivery. This is a hands-on, client-facing role with the opportunity to develop and sharpen your skills in project leadership, strategic storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration.
We are also open to candidates with deeper experience and stronger leadership qualities for consideration as a Senior Consultant, who will additionally support offer development, capability building, and client growth initiatives.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead all stages of research projects — from kick-off to debrief — across primary, secondary, and AI-enabled methodologies. Acquire new skills through both on-the-job exposure and targeted trainings to progressively lead integrated craft projects.
- Own day-to-day project execution: manage internal resources, direct junior team members, and coordinate third-party partners as needed.
- Translate client objectives into research designs that are efficient, method-neutral, and aligned with business outcomes.
- Deliver work on time, on budget, and on brief — using smart tooling and scalable workflows where possible.
- Leverage AI-enabled workflows (e.g. sentiment clustering, dashboard storytelling) to interpret findings — rather than relying on manual scripting or tab-reading.
- Build and deliver clear, insight-rich narratives that go beyond data — helping clients understand the “so what” and “now what” with confidence and clarity.
- Provide coaching and feedback to junior team members and help embed a culture of continuous learning and experimentation.
- Collaborate with other markets to co-develop, test, and scale future-ready client offers.
The ideal profile:
- 4 to 7 years of experience in research, insights, or consulting roles across primary and/or secondary methods. Candidates with deeper experience or exceptional qualities will be considered for Senior Consultant.
- Highly organised and self-directed, with strong prioritisation skills and a focus on delivering high-quality outputs across multiple workstreams.
- Brings an entrepreneurial spirit with a strong sense of ownership — takes initiative, challenges the status quo, and helps shape smarter, more efficient ways of working.
- Proven ability to independently manage projects — balancing tight timelines, evolving briefs, and cross-functional collaboration within scope and budget.
- Proven ability to independently manage multi-method projects — balancing tight timelines, evolving briefs, and cross-functional collaboration within scope and budget.
- Positive, collaborative, and committed to coaching others — a ‘can do’ team player who contributes actively to a culture of learning, experimentation, and shared excellence.
- Demonstrates structured, rigorous thinking – delivering outputs with clarity, accuracy, and a strong balance of insight narrative and visual design.
- Strong communication and presentation skills — able to distill complex data into compelling, actionable stories for clients and stakeholders.
Additional Skills That Set You Apart:
- Familiarity with data connectors/APIs, or experience working alongside tech teams to enable end-to-end dashboard delivery.
- Experience building dashboards using Power BI, Tableau, or Looker Studio — with the ability to connect data sources and automate insight flows.
