This position reports to the Chief Research Officer.

The Research Manager, Analysis and Data Visualization is involved in all dimensions of the market research project cycle, but has a particular focus on (and responsibility towards) the later stages – transforming data and information into compelling stories, reports and content, in a way that brings greater clarity, interest and value to our work.

The ideal candidate is curious, self-motivated and has passion for both research and storytelling. This person knows how to leverage the power of data and design to create engaging outputs across a range of products and channels – from client reports to member publications and the public-facing content that drives NGF’s website and social channels.

To be successful, this person should have a natural creative edge and a high aptitude for research and analytics, but also a clear understanding of content and a strong eye for design.

• Strong visual storytelling skills – someone with a sharp eye for design who develops reports that always impress clients and colleagues
  • Please be prepared to show example(s) of work and/or demonstrate capabilities through a brief assignment
