Job Description

Confident with numbers and data? Interested in what drives people to watch TV and how they consume media?

At TRP Research Ltd, we combine our knowledge and expertise of the media industry with existing and primary data sources to create meaningful research for our clients. Our TRP Consult team works with the world's largest media companies to help them use data to make evidence based, strategic decisions.

What we're looking for from you is enthusiasm and a desire to learn and develop.

You'll be working as part of a team to deliver projects that help clients to:

Understand their audiences evolving viewing habits Explore the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns Identify the effect of the fragmented media world on their viewership behaviour
You'll learn to track viewer behaviour to establish how audiences watch TV, how effective promotional messages are and how to advise clients on their business strategy. You'll start by taking on responsibility for stages of projects, and as your knowledge of the data and techniques grows, you'll work towards eventually managing and delivering whole projects to clients. Our Development Scheme will support you in this journey. Current team members have developed from similar starting roles to senior management positions within this team.

In addition, we're looking for someone who:

Is keen to learn and develop Is enthusiastic and approachable Has excellent attention to detail Is comfortable working with large data sets Is able to use their initiative Is adaptable and flexible.
