Role 1
Statistics Director- Ipsos MORI Research Methods Centre
Ipsos MORI is seeking a Director-level expert in Statistical methods in order to add value to survey-based research, demonstrating a high level and breadth of knowledge in this area and associated techniques. The role will sit at the heart of the Research Methods Centre at Ipsos MORI and will involve liaising with external clients and our own researchers across a wide range of subject areas, in particular our Public Sector, Media and Loyalty specialisms.
The ideal applicant will have a postgraduate degree (Masters or PhD) with substantial statistical content. They will be able to demonstrate substantial analytical, strategic and management experience ideally gained within a Market or Survey Research environment. They would be required to lead a team of high calibre statistically-skilled individuals and would therefore be expected to understand methods involving multivariate analysis of survey data, sampling and survey design aspects and be able to learn quickly about new methods which come to the market place either via the academic or industry sector.
At Director level it is expected that the role holder possesses the skills and interest to effectively manage and coach less experienced members within their team, being an ambassador and guardian of the brand for Ipsos MORI in order to significantly contribute to the strategic direction of the business unit. They would also need to be active in seeking ways of increasing the volume and profitability of statistical work at Ipsos MORI through new business opportunities.
The ideal applicant would thus need to demonstrate substantial senior market research expertise within the specialty, success in designing sound business plans outlining client, people, collaboration and financial considerations, P&L accountability, superb project management capabilities, full ownership of delivering superior value-add client insights and proven business development experience.

The Statistical applicant should be able to advise in the planning of projects, run the most appropriate analysis on the survey data and communicate and present findings to external clients. Therefore we are looking for someone with a combination of very strong analytical skills in survey research and good interpersonal and time management skills.
