What makes this role important at Ipsos:

As a Director, you'll be advising some of the biggest brands and advertisers in their journey for Creative Excellence. You'll have the opportunity to flex your creative and analytical muscles in the exciting and ever-evolving world of advertising. With strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and a passion for storytelling your goal is to provide clients with insights they can act on.

You'll be the go-to person for your clients, building strong relationships, and earning their trust as a creative expert. You'll also get to work with a talented team of professionals who are passionate about research and committed to excellence.

If you have a passion for advertising, synthesizing quantitative and qualitative data to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely, we want to hear from you.

What you can expect to be doing:

• Direct the process: manage the day-to-day responsibilities of several creative effectiveness research projects from start to finish, help frame objectives, develop research design and sampling plans, create research instruments (surveys, discussion guides, screeners) analyze results and create final client deliverables. 
• Make creative effectiveness research happen: Find operational efficiencies and drive them forward.  Collaborate with your team members so that projects get done well and right: on time, on budget and on strategy for the client. When the going gets tough, you apply the organizational grease it takes to keep the whole process moving seamlessly.
• Show our clients the love: Develop an understanding of our clients’ business issues and the industries in which they operate. Maintain and strengthen client relationships through our collective team greatness. Become a trusted advisor to clients by understanding their big picture strategy and day to day needs.

• Experience with creative testing and effectiveness.
• Strong experience with quantitative research, including survey design, sampling plans and analysis, and brand research.

• Good understanding of advanced analytics including data visualization tools.
• Proficiency in developing clear narrative and storytelling in presentation, visually and in writing.
• Proficiency in Google Drive or MS Office a must.
• Managing and mentoring experience a must.
