Research Director

Publicerad 2024-12-04

Stack is a data analytics and research firm with offices in London and Washington DC. We work with political parties, companies of all sizes, government departments, NGOs and agencies around the world to help them and their clients deeply understand public opinion, how it affects them, and what they should do in response to it.


We believe that good opinion research is actionable, and we have three pillars of growth. First, a world-leading Election Advisory business that helps campaigns to win and investors to quantify risk. Second, an emerging Product business that makes our proprietary datasets available on a subscription basis.


Third, Data Strategy and Tracking. Other firms call this “custom research” and our DST offer starts from the same place: we help clients understand their audiences using quantitative and qualitative methods, and data science techniques which we’ve honed in our predictive, political work. We are often designing studies from scratch, with a specific problem to be solved. 


We call it Data Strategy and Tracking because we are not interested in sending clients a monthly report with line charts that don’t move: we provide advice on the back of our findings, and we expect to track the effectiveness of that advice over time.


Compensation: Competitive, and dependent on experience

Contract:  Full time and permanent

Location: London, with flexible working available

Start Date: ASAP


What you’ll be doing:

You will be part of Stack’s Senior Management Team and will lead the commercial growth of our DST business, and oversee client relationships and project delivery. In particular, you will:

  • Develop a 3-year commercial plan for expanding the DST business
  • Build a pipeline of - and design proposals that win - projects playing to Stack’s strengths in the corporate and agency space
  • Mentor our talented team in both method, and commercial development
  • Contribute your experience and perspective to managing Stack as a whole


What you’ll bring:

  • Experience winning and delivering great opinion research
  • Understanding of - even if not direct experience of managing - a P&L
  • An ambition to be a leader in a young firm doing rigorous, high-impact research 


How to apply

Please send us your CV along with a covering letter telling us (a) why you’re interested in the role and (b) in no more than three paragraphs how you would spend the first 6 months in this new role, given your understanding of Stack and the wider market.


Send all that to info@stackdatastrategy.com with the subject: “Director, DST”, by EOD Friday 3 January 2025 and we will be in touch to arrange an interview once we’ve sifted.
