Job Description

Basis, an independent insight consultancy, is looking for Graduate Research Executives to join us in our Consumer and B2B team in London. We're experts in engaging with and drawing insights from people worldwide, in lots of ways: through qualitative and quantitative methods, the application of AI to big data, and many other things besides.

The culture at Basis is friendly and non-hierarchical: we believe in training our graduates fast with hands-on support every step of the way. From day one, you'll be working on live projects, helping to deliver strategic insight for brands. Our work is challenging and varied, across categories like tech, media, travel, FMCG and more. You'll be working on something new and exciting all the time; one week, possibly uncovering potential for vegan food products in Germany; the next, measuring opportunities for new tech in the US, or helping to reposition a home brand in Japan and India.

We're looking for graduates to work with qualitative and / or quantitative data. However, a prior background in either, or in any type of research, is definitely not essential. Here's what we are looking for...?

Strong writing and communication skills, with expert / excellent English fluency Curiosity around people - who they are, and what drives them A problem-solving mindset: motivated to find solutions for our clients' challenges Both a team player and a self-starter Heaps of enthusiasm and determination Willingness to travel for work - in the UK with international opportunities too Ambition to learn and grow Flexibility: open to varying working hours, and no two weeks being the same An ability to think logically and work quickly Organisational and time management skills Strong attention to detail Digital competence: able to work digitally across platforms, or willing to upskill At least a 2.1 in any university degree Ability to speak another language can be a plus, but not essential The successful candidate must, by the start of the employment, have permission to work in the UK and be able to work 5 days per week from our Central London office - the reality is that very few people work all 5 days in the office (typically people work 3-4 days in the office), but being able to be in the office e.g. for a client meeting, on any given day is a necessity
