Quantitative Research & AI Solutions Consultant

**Quantitative Research & AI Solutions Consultant**

London | AI Studio | Full-time | Hybrid (3 days in-office)

What if your quant research role didn't just inform a client's strategy — it also shaped the AI tools used to deliver it?

Our client, a respected, employee-owned advisory firm working with clients at the frontier of technology, is looking for a quantitative researcher to join a growing team at the intersection of research and AI. This is a research role first: designing studies, analysing data and turning findings into strategic advice for high-profile clients. What sets it apart is the chance to use — and help build — AI tools that make that research sharper and faster than a traditional research role would allow.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how a respected advisory firm uses AI in practice, without stepping away from the research work itself.

**What you'll do**

- Design and deliver quantitative research — surveys and analysis that shape client strategy — for clients at the frontier of technology and beyond

- Turn research findings into clear, actionable recommendations for senior client stakeholders

- Use AI tools to speed up and sharpen analysis, and build on that experience to contribute to the team's internal AI products (including podcast and newsletter tools)

- Review and sense-check AI-generated ("vibe-coded") outputs with a critical, analytical eye

- Flex into wider comms, policy or research work as needed

**Recent examples of the kind of work you'd be doing:**

- Helping a research organisation understand what drives its reputation in AI search

- Helping a large tech company navigate a strategic governance decision

- Mapping the media conversation around a tech client's highest-priority issue

- Helping an investor understand its positioning in the market

**What we're looking for**

- Strong quantitative research experience — comfortable with survey design, data analysis and turning findings into strategic recommendations

- A decent working understanding of communications and policy, so you can operate credibly with clients and colleagues

- Comfortable writing code and reviewing others' code (R, SPSS or Python backgrounds all welcome) — not a software engineer, but genuine coding literacy is expected

- Corporate research agency experience is a plus but not essential — we're equally open to backgrounds in management consulting or in-house corporate insight teams

- Genuine curiosity about AI tools, and the judgement to use them critically rather than blindly

**What's on offer**

- Employee ownership — everyone shares in the firm's success

- A twice-yearly bonus based on company and individual performance

- Private healthcare and dedicated mental health support

- 26 days' holiday plus public holidays

- Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate

- Hybrid working, three days a week in the London office
