Harrow, United Kingdom Ipsos Full time

**Role overview**

Ipsos Audience Measurement projects are large scale and complex. We are leaders in media audience measurement understanding and expertise.

We have a dedicated team of Project Managers within the Audience Measurement Service Line to take the lead in ensuring all our projects run efficiently, smoothly and to time.

Our Ipsos Project Managers are experts working closely with our research teams to find the most efficient way to plan and deliver projects on time, to specification and within budget. We are an integral part of delivering quality to our clients.

Our Out Of Home (OOH) projects deliver an audience measurement currency for advertising displays (both static and moving) in public spaces, to allow the industry to plan, trade, report and evaluate advertising investment in the medium.

Projects can include large-scale continuous GPS travel surveys as well as enhanced probability modelling.

Out of home media consist of advertising frames ranging from large roadside billboards to small screens on escalators. They also include other out of home advertising frames or screens including train stations, in car parks, on taxis and buses and panels inside shopping centres.

Ipsos undertake projects from start to finish, managing fieldwork and developing bespoke modelling, and covers the gold standard currency with a need for accurate, time-based measurement to smaller MVP (Minimal Viable Product) projects.
