Senior Project Executive - Brand Health Tracking

As a Senior Project Executive at Ipsos, you'll be a crucial part of our mission, ensuring the successful delivery of high-quality research projects. You'll be the linchpin between our research and delivery teams, ensuring our projects are executed flawlessly. Your day-to-day will be a dynamic blend of stakeholder management, client liaison, project oversight and team collaboration, all while championing Ipsos' commitment to quality and innovation.

You will manage the delivery process, working in partnership with the researchers and operations teams to plan and manage your projects. You will support the end-to-end costing process for your project and new business briefs. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to improved process development (both standard and automated protocols). In the Brand Health team, PMs focus on the large &/or complex programmes – usually £350k+. This is a Research PM role, not an Operations role. This role is offered on a hybrid basis with 3 days in our London office and the rest from home.
