Overview
As our Customer Insight Executive, you'll help support the delivery of Boden’s global customer insight programme, ensuring the business stays closely connected to who our Boden customer is. From surveys and focus groups to clear, compelling reporting, you’ll turn feedback and data into insightful stories that help Product, Brand and Marketing make smarter, more customer-led decisions.
This is an ideal position for someone with a genuine curiosity about people, strong analytical skills, and a flair for storytelling. You’ll play a key part in ensuring that Boden’s decisions are guided by evidence and empathy.
Location: 4 days per week at our North Acton office, 1 working from home.
This is a 12 Month Maternity Cover role. Ideally looking for a December start date.

- Share findings with stakeholders across Boden, helping teams use customer understanding to shape decisions and improve experiences.
- Keep the practical side running smoothly, from participant incentives and liaison to travel, venues and other research logistics.
