Fixed Term Contract (inc Secondee)

£50,000 + benefits

26 September 2022

Do you enjoy having an immediate impact and delivering at pace? Do you relish working with research data and drawing out key insights? Have you worked in quantitative research &/or comms testing but are interested in trying client-side for size? Are you currently working client-side but keen to be more hands-on? Would you like to be central to a critical project in a FTSE 100 company? If any these questions have piqued your interest, then read on!

L&G are seeking a proactive and motivated Research & Insight Manager to lead a critical comms testing programme, as part of wider preparation for the new FCA Consumer Duty. For this role, financial services experience would be a bonus, but it isn’t essential. What matters is your ability to manage and drive the delivery of in-house research (working with our partner platform).

You’ll start by getting up to speed with our research tool (and the associated regulation) and then planning an effect insight programme; leveraging the skills you’ll bring and working in collaboration with the project and product teams. You’ll then be testing customer letters, leaflets, brochures, and other comms at pace; ensuring stakeholders deliver stimulus on time and managing a significant programme of research analysis in the lead up to the July 31st deadline. In addition, you’ll need to have the confidence to guide stakeholders and occasionally support more adhoc/qualitative testing for more complex, multi-document customer packs.

You’ll be joining a team of great researchers. They’re a really supportive, positive bunch who will help you understand the categories you’re testing but will also appreciate and valued the skills and new perspective you’ll bring. This is a 1 year, fixed-term contract that offers a great opportunity for a pragmatic researcher, who is comfortable providing consultancy across multiple business areas. The role offers a central role within L&G, delivering robust evidence to facilitate compliance with Consumer Duty regulation, through the application of research best practice.

You must have strong & proven market & customer research experience (preferably including both B2C and B2B (adviser/intermediary) research) and be adept at insight storytelling. If you have financial services experience, so much the better, but it’s not essential. More important is your ability to run ad hoc research and comms testing at scale.

Experience will include:

  • Extensive experience of leading & delivering research best practice
  • Consumer comms research & literature testing experience (qual and quant)
  • Proven ability to identify and negotiate the best solution with strong project leadership – good understanding of what great customer research looks like in other leading organisations
  • Significant expertise in qualitative and quantitative research approaches across B2B and consumer markets, with proven experience of efficiently utilising these to deliver cost-effective business benefits, as well as hands-on experience using DIY research platforms.
  • Can set strategic direction, but also implement activity
  • Exceptional insight story-telling; significant experience in synthesising multiple sources to logically to tell an insight narrative, concisely signalling business opportunities & recommendations
  • Excellent presentation skills; confidence to proactively lead and consult within meetings and workshops, challenging when necessary and proactively ensuring the voice of the customer/client is accurately and fairly represented
  • Strategic leadership
  • Ability to establish strong relationships with and management of multiple stakeholders with varying degrees of insight experience. Must be able to translate insights for different audience needs 
  • A high degree of pragmatism; ability to appreciate alternative perspectives and adapt plans to accommodate, whilst considering and signposting customer and commercial implications.
  • Resilience and the ability to negotiate to achieve positive outcomes in a complex environment
  • Self-directed but with experience to know when to escalate appropriately
