Full Time

Ipsos Strategy3, a leading global brand, marketing, and innovation consultancy, is seeking a driven, self-motivated Associate Consultant to join our team of entrepreneurial thinkers who are looking to change the landscape for our clients.

Our Associate Consultants play a key role in delivering on our client engagements, assisting in executive interviews, conducting primary and secondary research, preparing deliverables, and crafting compelling storylines to globally recognized clients as Google, L'Oréal, Nestlé and regional clients like NEOM, Diriyah, MISA.

As part of our client service teams, you will be working both laterally and vertically with our team of Partners, Engagement Managers, and Consultants to ensure that our ideas are flawlessly presented and inspiring to both our clients and the broader business community.
Critically important will be your ability to build relationships, not only internally with the Strategy3 team, but across Ipsos more broadly and with our clients.
Typical engagements include developing brand strategies, segmenting customer audiences, understanding consumer journeys, envisioning future growth pathways, and guiding innovation strategy.
You will join a unique team of creative thinkers who come from backgrounds as diverse as market research, brand management, consulting, finance, trend tracking, and start-ups―all of whom come together with a diversity of ideas to transform the consulting services industry.

We have seen consistent growth for the past several years which will continue as we further strengthen our global presence and reach. This growth will allow you unparalleled access, early in your career, to leading marketing thinkers, clients, and brands, while providing you fantastic opportunity to take on leadership challenges. For a relentless, visionary, and centered thinker who thrives on feedback and challenge, this is a unique opportunity for both personal and professional growth.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will bring a unique blend of both analytical and creative skills to bear on our client’s problems: you should be as comfortable building a model in Excel as you are making creative connections between your latest Netflix binge and what is happening in the business world. Our approach to solving problems requires that level of fluidity, comprehensiveness, confidence, and executive presence.

Qualifications include:

Undergraduate/Postgraduate degree from a top-tier university
1-2 years of professional experience: preferably in branding/marketing, management consulting, brand management, or market research, although the specific field is less important than what you’ve accomplished in it
Strong project management skills and ability to juggle multiple projects
Demonstrated leadership skills, both vertically and laterally
Ease and confidence with “thinking on your feet”
Strong business acumen and critical thinking skills
Love of, and nose for, business, brands, marketing, and innovation
Impeccable interpersonal and communication skills, written and verbal
Oversized personal impact and ability to influence In addition to those qualifications, one of the key things we have in common is the ability to tie together disparate pieces of information (from social media, from history, from keen observation, to name a few) into a compelling story, and tell it in a way that is engaging and memorable. Oh, and being able to laugh at yourself will take you far with us.
