Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Verian (formerly Kantar Public)

Senior Research Executive – Evaluation

London, Westminster

Full/part-time

Permanent

Verian (formerly Kantar Public) is one of the leading social research, evaluation, and advisory agencies in the UK. We have over 150 specialist researchers and evaluators, and an office in the heart of Westminster. Our specialist teams create the evidence required for some of the biggest decisions in the country. We advise clients on public policy design, ground-breaking behaviour change programmes, and provide national statistics and longitudinal data.

Policy and programme evaluation is one of the fastest expanding areas in social research today. There is an increasing focus within the UK government on more and better evaluation. As one of the top two providers of evaluations to the UK government, Verian has a wide portfolio of evaluation studies covering areas such as crime (e.g drugs, anti-social behaviour, and violence against women and girls), education (e.g. with pupils, parents and adult learners), housing (e.g. reform of the private rented sector, investment in affordable housing) energy, environment and climate change (e.g. increasing homes’ energy efficiency and exploring access to nature and impact on well-being).

We work on high profile projects that lead to meaningful social change and we are looking for a Senior Research Executive to grow and build a career in this important space. We are looking for someone who likes to ask questions, who can find the story in the data, and who wants to make a difference through their work.

The role

The diversity of our projects will give you a chance to develop professionally and personally. You will be supported to follow your interests and to continue developing your evaluation expertise through formal and informal learning , contributing to a culture of learning and excellence.

You will be working on high quality, mixed-methods evaluations to deliver robust and impactful outputs to clients. This will involve project planning and research design, quality delivery and profitability management, as well as management of more junior researchers, supporting their work and development. You will have the chance to build your networks , through work with specialist partners from academia and other research organisations.

Your Missions

  • Managing and delivering strands of high-quality large-scale evaluation projects
  • Developing research tools and supporting materials
  • Liasing with clients to provide progress updates on your areas of project responsibility
  • Interpreting and synthesising evidence across multiple sources (e.g. programme documentation, literature review, administrative data, survey data, qualitative research) to tell the story of your research and deliver sound evaluative judgements and actionable policy recommendations
  • Actively engaging with project budgets, to ensure working to time and costs
  • Contributing to business development
  • Developing your own individual skills and supporting team members to learn and grow

Your Profile
