**The Opportunity**

The Research Executive will assist and support the Senior Director of Research in London with a variety of tasks, related to our international film tracker. The NRG tracker is an online survey that fields weekly in 12 international markets and measures moviegoers' awareness and interest in upcoming film releases. The results of this are used to assist our clients in identifying their main target audiences, highlighting marketplace competition and assessing week on week changes for their key film releases. The weekly cadence, global footprint and client demands require all team members to be comfortable with high paced, detail-oriented quant research. Customer service skills are also critical.

In addition to primary responsibilities with the international tracker, the Research Executive may be asked to work across our full range of products and services so a competence in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies will be an advantage. A basic knowledge of the film industry and interest in entertainment content and gaming is also important.
