About Golin

We’ve won multiple Cannes Lions and been named one of the Bravest Agencies on the Planet by Contagious. But for us, it’s not about trophies, it’s about creating work that earns its place in culture and has real business impact.

We’re also a team that thrives on curiosity, creativity and clarity. We help global brands decode culture, understand consumers and act with intelligence. By blending data, storytelling, and strategic insight, we turn complexity into clarity and insights into action.

Now, we’re looking for a Director to join our growing team. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who’s passionate about understanding people, uncovering cultural trends and transforming data into ideas that change how brands show up in the world.

 

The Role

As a Director you’ll sit at the heart of the insights and analytics function, leading client relationships, turning raw data into compelling narratives and delivering thinking that powers bold creative work. You’ll be hands on with analysis but equally skilled in building senior client relationships, mentoring team members and helping to push forward how we use tools and technology.

This role is ideal for someone at the Associate Director level in another agency who’s ready to step up, take ownership and help shape a growing team.

 

What You’ll Do

Client Delivery

  • Act as the primary insights lead, working closely with clients to understand their business challenges and align deliverables with strategic objectives 

  • Deliver ongoing, high quality insight reports that synthesise data from multiple sources (search, social listening, surveys, owned analytics, etc.) 

  • Translate complex datasets into clear, compelling narratives that inform client decisions and inspire creative action 

 

Insight & Analytics Execution

  • Lead the collection, integration and analysis of structured and unstructured data 

  • Identify key consumer and cultural trends, translating them into sharp, actionable recommendations 

  • Develop presentations that are as visually engaging as they are strategically robust 

 

Innovation & Tools

  • Leverage emerging tools, including Large Language Models (Claude, etc.), to enhance the speed, depth and creativity of insights generation 

  • Stay ahead of evolving research techniques, ensuring our work remains industry leading 

 

Collaboration & Growth

  • Work alongside creative, planning and client service teams to ensure insights inform everything we do 

  • Support business development, contributing to pitches and new business proposals 

  • Mentor and develop junior colleagues, nurturing a collaborative and growth minded culture 

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Several years experience in insights & analytics roles, with a proven record of delivering client ready outputs 

  • Strong background across qualitative and quantitative research methodologies 

  • Ability to synthesise insights from diverse data sources, including search, social listening, owned content and survey data 

  • Exceptional data storytelling and visualisation skills, fluent in PowerPoint and Excel.

  • Strong communicator with experience building trusted client relationships 

  • Comfortable leveraging AI and emerging tools for insight generation 

  • Proven leadership experience, with the ability to mentor and inspire a small team 

  • A proactive problem solver with a passion for consumer behaviour and cultural trends 

  • (Preferred) Agency experience with FMCG or global consumer brands 

 

Why Join Us

  • Work with world class brands at the intersection of culture, creativity and strategy 

  • Be part of a growing insights and analytics function with the freedom to shape its future 

  • Collaborate with brilliant colleagues across planning, creative and specialist teams 

  • Gain exposure to cutting edge tools and approaches in the insight space 

This is the role for a strategist who loves data, lives for culture and knows how to turn insight into impact.
