We are super excited to be expanding our team and are looking for an individual who wants to enter into the world of consumer research and work for the UK’s leading food and beverage group. The FIS Group are a privately owned, successful, entrepreneurial business operating within the insight and innovation for food and beverage category.
The role would suit an individual who is looking to significantly grow with an organisation and be part of the growth journey. As a group we work with clients of all sizes, from start-ups to the world’s biggest corporates, working across manufacturing, food service and retail.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
As a Junior Insight Executive, you work closely with the wider research team to deliver the smooth execution of insight projects. You will be involved at every stage of the research process, including recruitment, survey scripting, fieldwork, data analysis, reporting and presenting to clients. As you develop your skills and confidence, we’ll support you in taking greater ownership of projects, building client relationships and turning consumer feedback and data into clear, commercially useful insights. No two projects are exactly the same, so we’re looking for someone who enjoys variety, is naturally curious and is happy to get stuck in. You’ll need to be organised, a self-starter, have initiative and resourcefulness and also have a true passion for food and drink.
As a client-facing member of the FIS Group, you’ll also play a role in representing the business professionally and building positive relationships with our clients and research partners. You will need to be an adaptable individual and be able to work both autonomously and as a team.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
- Strong attention to detail and a methodological approach to project work
- Critical thinking and confidence interrogating data
- Good judgement and problem-solving skills
- Confidence in communicating and presenting ideas clearly
- Strong organisation and ability to manage competing priorities
- A collaborative approach, with the confidence to work independently
- Initiative, resourcefulness and a willingness to take ownership
- A genuine curiosity about consumer behaviour and passion for food and drink
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly PowerPoint and Excel
- A friendly, adaptable and professional approach
- Flexibility to travel and work outside standard hours when projects require it
- Previous research experience is desirable but not essential
Where you will work
Most roles are based at Mission Kitchen London, our central London headquarters where the senior team is based and where strategic insight, innovation and product consultancy work runs from. NOTED Fieldwork roles are based at our Bury St Edmunds (East of England) or Birmingham (Midlands) facilities. Hybrid working between office and home is standard across the firm, with the specific pattern set by the team and the work the role does
Who you will work with
You will work directly with the senior leadership team and the wider team across capability areas. The integrated insight and innovation model means most projects involve team members from multiple capability areas working together, so the people you collaborate with day to day will vary by project rather than being a fixed account team.
