  3. Liaising with suppliers and internal operations colleagues to ensure the objectives of the research are met and on budget
  4. Contributing to questionnaires and discussion guides that meet clients' and stakeholders' objectives
  5. Drafting fieldwork materials such as invitation letters, interviewer instructions and recruitment materials
  6. Managing and monitoring fieldwork
  7. Moderating depth interviews and discussion groups
  8. Drafting data specifications and checking data files
  9. Writing reports and presentations that deliver insights to meet the client's objectives
  10. Quality checking key deliverables, ensuring they are delivered accurately and to the highest quality
  11. Monitoring a project's financial progress, identifying problems and suggesting solutions

What do I need to bring with me....

The role would suit a Researcher with Interest in and understanding of the methodological issues that impact the quality of surveys.

Ideally you will have the following skills:

  1. Good quantitative social research skills and project management skills
  2. Excellent attention to detail, organised, and solutions-focused
  3. Time management skills, working across multiple projects, prioritising tasks efficiently
  4. Be numerate, logical and have an ability to understand complex data
  5. Proficiency in Excel, ability to work with complex spreadsheets
  6. Prior knowledge of, or ability to quickly learn, SPSS syntax
  7. Experience in writing questionnaires and fieldwork materials
  8. Good communication, client handling and supplier negotiation skills
  9. Strong writing skills and experience of preparing written reports and presentations, with a high level of accurate use of English, including the ability to write in a variety of styles
  10. Proven ability to work well in teams
