London, United Kingdom More in Common Full time

**ABOUT THIS ROLE**:
LOCATION: London (post-holder will be expected to work Monday-Thursday in our London office)

More in Common is seeking to hire a full-time Research Assistant on a permanent basis as we grow our team and advance our mission of building a more united and inclusive UK, where all people feel respected and better understood, and share a sense of belonging.

The Research Assistant role has been created to support our growing portfolio of activities. The post holder will primarily work to support the UK Director Luke Tryl, preparing research and media briefings, creating data visualisation and other content for the website and social media as well as supporting in the drafting of Op-Eds, reports, and speeches. The post holder will also provide some support for More in Common’s Co-founder Tim Dixon in his global role, including providing briefing, analysis and editing support.

This role will work primarily in the UK and will be based in our London office; however, the postholder will also work proactively and collaboratively as part of our global organisation.

Key responsibilities include:

- Summarising More in Common’s research findings into accessible plain English briefings for speaking events, media appearances
- Translating More in Common’s quantitative insights into data visualisation for social media.
- Identifying, summarising, and sharing interesting analysis from partners and other third parties on social cohesion, public opinion and public policy
- Conducting statistical analysis on original opinion poll data
- Developing interesting poll and focus group questions as they relate to long term trends and current political events
- Organising focus groups and liaising with participant recruitment partners, summarising focus group conversations and transcripts, and identifying key quotes
- Scripting and managing the launch of opinion polls
- Writing first drafts of quotes for media, op-eds, speeches, and external facing briefings
- Contribute to the development of More in Common’s original insights and thought leadership work
- Working closely with our regular media and PR consultants to help ensure that opportunities are responded to swiftly and to optimum effect
- Working closely with the Executive Assistant to the Co-Founders and UK Director and the UK team to develop a good overview of forthcoming briefing needs

**ABOUT MORE IN COMMON**:
More in Common is a research agency working across the US, UK, Germany, France and Poland to tackle polarisation and division. It leads and supports initiatives to build more united, inclusive, and resilient societies. Our mission is to understand the forces driving us apart, help societies find common ground and bring people together to tackle shared challenges.

In the UK, our work is best described as being part consultancy and part think tank. We provide a full suite of research services including polling and focus group research; evidence reviews and secondary data analysis; audience mapping and audience strategy; strategic communications strategy and campaign development. More in Common is a member of the British Polling Council.

Our work is informed by our ground-breaking segmentation of the British public. This unique values-based lens to our quantitative and qualitative research means we can understand not only what the public thinks on the big challenges facing British society today - but crucially why they think it. Our insights help leaders in government, the media, business, and civil society to develop better strategies and communications - particularly in reaching disengaged communities far from the Westminster/London bubble - and to better navigate tricky and divisive issues.

More in Common has published agenda-setting thought leadership on a whole range of debates facing British society - from exploring the public’s starting points on climate action and tackling crime and anti-social behaviour; to understanding how the British public is navigating major debates such as the conflict in Israel and Palestine; to highlighting the public’s expectations on mental health reform. Our work is regularly covered in the British press and media and we’ve developed a series of partnerships with broadcasters and newspapers to deliver top-quality research insights.

Through our consultancy, More in Common has also supported dozens of partners with insights and strategic communications support. We’ve helped national institutions such as the BBC, British Library and National Trust to better understand their audiences, and partners in government and civil society with the set-up and delivery of the Homes for Ukraine scheme. We’ve supported a range of partners, including the National Farmers Union and Rethink Mental Illness to test their manifesto ideas.

In 2024, we have a range of exciting projects in the pipeline, including:

- Helping civil society organisations prepare campaigns, messaging and policy proposals ahead of the
