Senior Strategist, Research

Purpose

As an Senior Strategist, Research within Invisible Dynamics’ Strategy team, you will play a central role in transforming data into strategic insight. You will support client work and internal platforms by conducting quantitative and qualitative analysis, synthesizing data across sources, and helping define core consumer and audience insights.

This is a thinking analyst role—you will not simply pull reports, but actively build hypotheses, interrogate data, and contribute meaningful interpretation. You will partner with strategists and research partners to deliver insight that shapes strategic recommendations and supports the development of our proprietary tools, including the Invisible Index and our talent intelligence platform.

You are numerically fluent, intellectually curious, and comfortable working across data platforms, models, and imperfect datasets. You have 5+ years’ experience working in analytics, insights, strategy, or planning roles within a management consultancy or business transformation agency— with exposure to research design and cross-platform synthesis.

You should be:

Deeply comfortable working with data at scale and across platforms

A critical thinker who builds and tests hypotheses independently

Fluent in tools such as GWI and other syndicated research platforms, while confident utilizing emerging AI‑led tools and maximizing AI across insight development

You can also operate agnostic of existing platforms, with a hack mindset and original approach to data capture

Highly numerically literate, with advanced Excel / Sheets capability (pivot tables, data triangulation, scenario modelling)

Commercially minded, with a working understanding of P&Ls, marketing investment models, and how global brand budgets are structured and allocated

Confident building hypotheses, testing assumptions, summarising and presenting logic
