At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Research Manager to play a key role in our research team in London. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔

As our Research Manager you will play a crucial role at GWI by delivering high-quality research for key tracking studies that are central to our product. This position involves evaluating and shaping future research content to maximise revenue potential while ensuring timely and high-quality outputs each quarter. The Research Manager will collaborate closely with a Senior Research Manager to gain a comprehensive understanding of existing processes and work alongside a Research Executive to enhance their skills and research knowledge.

There is scope to continually improve and elevate our tracking studies and we want someone to come in who has ideas, is comfortable with change, autonomy and going into the unknown. It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

What do I need to bring with me? 🧳

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

*Don’t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it’s all part of the plan for some of our roles.
