Research Executive

At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Research Executive to play a key role in our Global 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.

As our Research Executive you’ll be working on the Global Research team to ensure that the best and most innovative market research practices are followed and applied. The team works to make GWI an industry leader in research methods, transparency and participant experience. You’ll be working alongside other researchers to plan, execute and manage large surveys both pre-release and post-release to ensure that we’re always delivering data of the highest quality.
You’ll support the full survey lifecycle—from design to delivery—ensuring we produce high-quality, reliable insight data. Key responsibilities include overseeing fieldwork operations by working with panel providers to secure the right sample, while tracking progress and ensuring quality across key collection metrics. You'll script surveys using tools like Qualtrics or Dash, checking that each one runs smoothly and adheres to our standards. The role also involves researching consumer topics and brands for potential inclusion, contributing to survey design, and conducting regular desk research to keep our brand lists relevant and up to date.

Internally, you’ll draft precise data specifications, coordinate with our data processing team to meet delivery timelines, and help define and implement rules for survey data quality. You’ll also support the standardisation of data validation processes and maintain clear, up-to-date documentation to ensure consistency across projects.

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.

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.

You’ll do the sort of work that got you excited about your career in the first place - not as a cog in a machine, but as an individual whose contribution matters. So gigantic job satisfaction comes as standard, but it’s only part of the package. You’ll also get:

Put all that together and GWI is the friendliest, most fulfilling place any of us has ever worked.
