About the Research Team

Fairer Finance’s Research Team gathers the market data which underlies our:

  • Product Ratings - These are designed to help consumers choose good quality or good value financial services products.
  • Customer Experience Ratings – These are designed to help consumers find a bank, building society or insurer that offers good service, not just a good rate or price. 
  • Research Projects – These look at shining a light on market failures in the financial services industry and often underpin Fairer Finance’s campaigns.
  • Blogs and analysis – Our research team constantly analyse the trends in our data – using the insights to inform blogs and as well as our media and policy work. 

Our research team is responsible for keeping all our ratings up to date as well as developing our methodologies. Our ratings are scrutinised by the public, firms and the media alike - so keeping our data accurate is a core part of the role.

    • Compiling and writing quarterly insight reports, drawing out the trends in the data
    • Ensuring our Insight Portal is kept up-to-date and accurate

Secondary responsibilities:

  • Contributing to our external research reports, including involvement in our policy work and campaigns.
  • Engaging with external queries (from brands to media requests), including putting together short, concise overviews of our data.
  • Writing blog posts for the website using your unique insights as a market expert

Requirements of the Researcher:

Essential:
