Original job description

Job Description

This posting is not for an existing vacancy. We are accepting applications to identify candidates for anticipated future opportunities.

What makes this role important at Ipsos?

In this role, you will have the exciting responsibility of being a trusted partner to several leading companies as they pursue innovation and renovation strategies as a cornerstone to their business growth. Key sectors you would be supporting include Packaged Goods and/or Quick Serve Restaurant, and potentially Financial Services, working with Tier 1 Canadian and multinational clients. The Director acts as strategic leader for the project/account team and plays a key role in strengthening broader client relationships.

As a Director, you are collaborative and strategically minded by nature, have an eagle-eye attention to detail and brilliant organizational skills. You will manage some projects directly, while supervising junior staff in executing other projects. The role employs both proprietary and custom primary, quantitative research methodologies designed to help clients solve their innovation related business problems. In this role, you will act as strategic leader for project team and play a key role in strengthening general client relationships and designing and interpreting more complex research engagements.

As a key leader, you will build team talent and create client loyalty and respect. You will work closely with senior team leaders to assure project accuracy and make sure that things stay on schedule. You also get to share your many creative and analytical skills with your bright, coachable, talented team members daily; a key part of the role is elevating junior members’ storytelling and design consultation. You should excel at the ability to think through implications of actions and insight delivery, identify opportunities and risks, and to balance what the client needs with the optimal outcome for Ipsos.

What You Can Expect To Be Doing

Direct the process: manage the day-to-day responsibilities of several research projects from start to finish, help frame objectives, develop research design and manage/guide on sampling plans, develop questionnaires and analyze results and guide creation of, as well as presenting, final client deliverables.
Make 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, ability to think creatively about how to align appropriate project resources, whether inside or outside of the immediate project team
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.

 This might be the job for you if you have:

Minimum of 7 years research experience; ideally at least 5 years on the supplier side.
Strong experience with primary quantitative research, including design of the most suitable research approach, survey design, sampling plans and a story-telling based approach to analysis.
Superior organizational skills, including ability to manage and delegate work effectively, attention to detail & demonstrated commitment to the accuracy and completeness of information
Ability to oversee multiple projects, including managing workload of direct reports
Strong team leadership skills with experience in mentoring and/or managing others - ability to coach, guide and support direct reports
Strong aptitude for research consulting with highly developed analytic skills
Ability to think strategically in terms of clients’ business, as well as opportunities for Ipsos to grow its business
Highly motivated, self-directed and possess a driven personality capable of working within tight deadlines
Strong communications skills; you know how to translate complex data into easy to understand, actionable insights.
Proficiency in developing clear narrative and storytelling in presentation, visually and in writing.

If you don’t meet 100% of the requirements, we encourage all who feel they might be a fit for the opportunity to apply. We may consider a variety of backgrounds for a particular role and are also committed to considering candidates for available positions throughout our organization, not just the one you’re applying to!

In accordance with Ontario & British Columbia law, the estimated base salary range for this role is $90,000 to $105,000 CAD. Your final base salary will be determined based on several non-discriminatory factors which may include but are not limited to location, work experience, skills, knowledge, education and/or certifications.  

What’s in it for you:  

At Ipsos you’ll experience opportunities for Career Development, an exceptional benefits package (including generous PTO, healthcare plans, wellness benefits), a flexible workplace policy, and a strong collaborative culture.
