Job description

The Opportunity : Get the Best of Both Worlds

Are you a Research and Insights consultant with 2-5 years experience looking for an opportunity that offers the strategic depth of a client-side role without sacrificing the project variety and development of an agency? We’re looking for a Research and Insights Consultant to step into a unique dual role that offers the best of both worlds :

  • Internal client-side partner (ACM) : You'll act as a strategic partner to our diverse commercial, editorial, marketing, and Agri divisions, providing high-quality, strategic guidance. You'll play a key part in high-profile annual studies, including the Heartbeat of Australia research (https : / / www.canberratimes.com.au / heartbeat / ).
  • External client-servicing (Australian Regional Insights) : You'll work with external clients through our integrated market research division, Australian Regional Insights, providing access to and insights on rural, regional, and agricultural Australians. (https : / / www.australianregionalinsights.com.au / ).

In this role, you will be crucial to supporting strategic decision‑making for both ACM and our external clients.

What You’ll Be Doing : End-to-End Project Ownership

Reporting to the Research & Insights Director, you will support in managing research projects from brief through to completion, focusing on full end‑to‑end project management.

Your responsibilities will include :

  • Project Leadership : Managing and coordinating all aspects of a research project, including methodology, design, fieldwork, analysis, and reporting.
  • Insight Delivery : Designing and delivering engaging, strategic reports and presentations to both internal stakeholders and external clients.
  • Qualitative interest : Experience in qualitative methodologies would also be an advantage, particularly in discussion guide development, interview moderation and qualitative analysis techniques.
  • About You

    You will have come from a market research agency or insights background and are looking for an opportunity to leverage your skills in a client-side role, without losing the development and project variety agency life brings. You’ll have strong organisational skills, and a knack for seeing the story within the data.

    Ideally, you’ll have :

  • 2–5 years’ experience in a market research or insights role
  • Proficiency in data analysis and insight generation
  • A Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., market research, business, psychology)
  • Experience with Q Research Software
  • Experience or a strong interest in qualitative methodologies.
  • If you thrive by working collaboratively and want to actively participate in developing a strong team culture, which enables Australian Community Media (ACM) to build a modern, stronger rural and regional media network then please apply.
