Principal Attention Consultant

Role

• Lead one of Lumen’s attention consulting teams

• Oversee market research projects (client brief, study design, deliver, reporting, recommendations) as a trusted advisor to Lumen’s existing client base

• Help develop business opportunities within existing client base and beyond

• Input into the development of new product development for Lumen

• Lead and look after a consulting team (1 senior attention consultant, 2 junior consultants) to deliver projects efficiently and effectively; manage team members to help them achieve their full potential; hire new team members as and when appropriate

• Be a thought leader at Lumen by speaking at conferences, running webinars, writing ‘think pieces’ and representing Lumen publicly

Requirements

• Excellent consulting and analytical skills, including quantitative techniques: there are numbers a lot, so if that strikes fear into you, this probably isn’t the job for you.

• Strong ‘story telling’ skills: turning quantitative data into actionable insight

• Knowledge of the media industry – experience at a big media agency, publisher or social media platform would be welcome, but not necessary

• Knowledge of market research methodologies, and an understanding of where Lumen’s work fits into the broader whole

• Strong organisational abilities: the ability to meet deadlines, solve problems and deliver

• Strong work ethic: we particularly value people who work hard throughout the data so that they can down tools at 5.30 and have a life outside of work. But that does mean that you have to graft during your 9-5

• Creative problem solving abilities

• A sense of humour (even on Zoom)

• Kindness

• Honesty

• Brilliance

Nice to have

• 2:1 or above from a good university

• Market research experience

• Media industry (creative, media, media owner) experience – 8 years plus?
