Research and Client Analyst in Acton, Suffolk

As people increasingly move across channels and platforms, Kantar Media’s TGI data and audience measurement, targeting, analytics and advertising intelligence services unlock insights to inform powerful decision-making. Working with panel and first-party data in over 80 countries, we have the world’s fastest growing cross-media measurement footprint, underpinned by versatility, scale, technology and expertise, to drive long-term business growth for our clients and partners.

This is a full-time permanent position, based in our London office. We operate on a hybrid working arrangement and require a minimum of 2 days in the office. We welcome all applications from those with the legal right to live and work permanently in the UK, without requiring VISA sponsorship now or in the future.

We are looking for a curious, organised and client-focused Research & Client Analyst to join our team working on Barb, the UK’s gold-standard TV and video audience measurement service, delivered by Kantar Media. Barb provides the industry with trusted audience data covering broadcast TV, subscription video on demand, broadcaster video on demand and video-sharing platforms, based on a nationally representative panel of 7,000 households. It is one of the most advanced audience measurement services in the world and sits at the heart of decision-making for broadcasters, advertisers and media owners. This role offers strong development opportunities and is well suited to people at the early stages of their career, or looking to build experience in TV, streaming, video and data-driven media.

As a Research & Client Executive, you’ll be the first point of contact for Barb data users, primarily broadcasters. You will:

• Respond to client queries about audience data and programme log submissions
• Investigate data queries, identify potential issues and work through solutions
• Liaise with internal subject matter experts when needed
• Clearly communicate data issues, changes and delays to clients
• Track and manage multiple queries simultaneously, ensuring timely resolution
• Help maintain high standards of data quality and client service
• Build strong working relationships with broadcasters and industry stakeholders
• Support the Client Service Manager with panel engagement activities

This role is designed as a career entry point or next step, so we’re more interested in attitude and potential than years of experience. You’ll be a great fit if you have:

• Strong communication skills and confidence working with clients
• An interest in TV, streaming, video and digital media
• A logical, curious mindset and comfort working with numbers or data
• Excellent organisation and time management skills
• A willingness to learn and take ownership of queries
• The ability to remain calm and professional under time pressure
• An understanding of audience measurement, research methods or media data would be beneficial, but is not essential

Standard weekday working hours, with a hybrid pattern of two days per week at our London office location of Hanger Lane. Participation in a weekend on-call rota (approximately two mornings per month), paid as overtime.
