Curious. Thoughtful. Ready to learn fast.
We’re not looking for experience. We’re looking for attitude.
This is an exciting opportunity to join Verve as an Insight Associate, working within an AI-powered market research consultancy.
Whether your background is in humanities, social sciences, business, STEM – or another discipline rooted in critical thinking – we want to hear from you.
Who we are
Verve is an award-winning insight consultancy helping some of the world’s biggest brands – like Samsung, Mars, the BBC and John Lewis Partnership – make smarter decisions with speed and confidence.
We combine deep human understanding with cultural intelligence and cutting-edge AI to answer complex questions about people and the future.
We use a range of research methodologies – from qualitative exploration to advanced quantitative analysis – alongside Vero, our AI-powered platform, where we build human-like simulations, to help us understand and empathise with people’s needs and behaviours.
We don’t just do research quicker – we do it differently. More imaginative. More rigorous. More human.
What we’re offering
This role is all about potential.
You’ll join as an Insight Associate, working across client projects and AI-powered research development, learning how to design research, interpret human behaviour, and use AI as a core part of how you work.
From day one, you’ll be contributing to real work – while being supported to learn fast, experiment, and build confidence.
You’ll:
- Learn how to turn data into meaningful, commercially relevant insight
- Contribute to real client projects across sectors – from innovation to comms and brand strategy
- Be part of a consultancy team that’s embracing next-gen insight approaches
- Get hands-on with cutting-edge AI tools, simulations and workflows – while helping explore and test new ways of delivering insight
- Work closely with a friendly, ambitious team that values experimentation, creativity and collaboration
What we’re looking for
- Someone with strong critical thinking, developed through any discipline or experience. Backgrounds in humanities, social sciences, business, or STEM are of interest, but a formal degree is not required.
- Someone curious about people, culture and technology
- A clear thinker who can structure ideas and communicate them simply and well
- A proactive learner – comfortable with uncertainty, ambiguity and experimentation
- An interest in how AI can improve the way we think, analyse and create
- As a bonus, an interest or aptitude for writing clear, punchy marketing content
- Based in or near London or Manchester and happy to be in the office at least two days a week
