    Description

    Are you an experienced market research professional looking for an exciting next step in your career? Do you enjoy delivering fantastic work and developing strong client relationships?

    About MMR...

    MMR is an independent, global company specialising in food, drink and consumer packaged goods research. We work regularly with over 50% of the top 100 global food and drink brands. We have offices in Amsterdam, London, Oxford, New York, Shanghai, Singapore, Bangkok, Mumbai, Cali, Durban and Sao Paulo and have a team of 800 highly engaged and dynamic research professionals that is multi-discipline in nature covering fields such as R&D, insight, marketing, sensory science, data sciences and psychology.

    About our Role

    MMR Research Worldwide is looking for an ambitious, energetic and self-motivated Associate Director to join our South African research team in Johannesburg to work on global client accounts within the FMCG industry.

    This is a client-facing role within the research team, with the primary aim of developing one of our flagship accounts, along with a few smaller accounts, both in South Africa and other markets across the Africa/Middle East region by growing, managing and maintaining client relationships. Key responsibilities within the role will include client interaction, research design, proposal writing and taking responsibility for quality of project delivery, adding value to debrief presentations via data interpretation and commercial awareness skills. The focus of business development will be in building and growing long term relationships with clients.

    As a hands-on researcher with sector knowledge, commitment to excellence in delivery, with great story-telling skills and assured confidence, you will be able to add real insight at debriefs. Experience in, and enjoyment of management is essential as you will be required to help coach and mentor more junior team members. This coaching and mentoring aspect will require you to build a complete understanding of the full project cycle in order to be able to help develop others.

    Requirements

    Research agency experience (ideally ad-hoc) is essential for this role. Much of MMR's work is within the food, drink, household care and personal care industry so relevant experience of this sector is advantageous and concept/ product testing experience is ideal.

    We are looking for a strong storyteller, someone who really understands the importance of adding commercial value to the output of client projects.

    Experience within both small and large agencies would be beneficial. Quant experience is essential and qual is desirable (though not necessarily as a practitioner). It is also important that you have strong self-management, organisation and communications skills.

    Benefits

    Here at MMR, we are about building a workplace for the future. We believe in equal opportunities and celebrate diversity. We're an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be natural, and be the best versions of themselves.

    Our benefits are some of the best in the industry, we can share them with you if you want to know more. Our focus is not just on the expected benefits such as pensions and bonus schemes but the wellbeing of our employees. We've taken great strides to ensure that we support you to remain happy and healthy during your time with us.
