About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Director of Research Methods to join our UK Research Methods team. This is a permanent, full-time, hybrid home/office role that requires a strong background in statistical analysis and research design.

The successful candidate will work across our client base, providing ad-hoc support to other members of the UK Methods team. The primary focus of this role will be on complex data analysis, applying statistical skills and broader methodological knowledge to a variety of research projects.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Apply statistical skills and broader methodological knowledge to a variety of research projects across the business
  • Client work: complex sampling, weighting, and multivariate analysis/interpretation of substantive data
  • Development work: investigation of new statistical techniques, software packages and routines, and reviewing methodological literature to support new components of the Verian offer
  • Business generation work: contributing to the methodological shape of proposed research projects, drafting elements of the bid documents, and directing literature searches to ensure evidential support for what is proposed
  • Provide ad-hoc support to other members of the Methods team, and to the division as a whole. Given Verian's global reach, the successful applicant will also be expected to participate in cross-national methodological debate and projects (including conference presentations and publications)

Your Profile:

  • Solid formal qualifications (e.g. a Bachelors degree with a significant statistics element or a Masters/doctorate in a relevant topic)
  • Substantial track record of working with survey, administrative and other large scale datasets to answer research questions or to prepare sample frames
  • Detailed knowledge and experience of sample design and bias analysis
  • Robust applied knowledge of generalised linear modelling techniques
  • Experience of providing both verbal and written advice to research commissioners
  • Able to deliver on time and to specification

What We Offer:

Joining Verian means becoming part of a dynamic and collaborative community that thrives on intellectual curiosity and a shared commitment to making a difference. As a member of our team, you will work on cutting-edge projects that influence policies, drive social change, and shape the future of our society.

You will collaborate with passionate colleagues in an open and engaging environment, where people feel included, accepted, and are allowed to thrive in a space where their wellbeing is taken into consideration.
