We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced survey research, market research, consumer insights, behavioural science, and quantitative research professionals with strong hands-on experience designing, fielding, managing, or evaluating surveys.
This role focuses on reviewing sophisticated survey-based research for methodological quality, clarity, bias, respondent experience, and decision usefulness. Selected professionals will apply practical research judgement to questionnaire design, sampling, fieldwork, survey logic, and data-quality challenges.
