Help us understand the next generation
Beano Brain, the award-winning insights agency behind some of the world's leading kid, youth and family research, is looking for a Quantitative Research Executive to join our growing team in London.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone at the beginning of their research career, or ready to take the next step, to gain hands-on experience across the full research process. From questionnaire design and fieldwork management to analysis, storytelling and client presentations, you'll play an active role in delivering research that helps brands better understand kids, teens and families.
As a small and collaborative team, everyone has the opportunity to make a genuine impact. You'll work closely with experienced researchers, contribute ideas from day one and gain exposure to a wide range of clients, sectors and methodologies. We encourage curiosity, initiative and healthy challenge, creating an environment where great ideas can come from anywhere.
If you're naturally inquisitive, enjoy solving problems and love uncovering the story behind the data, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
This is a varied role with opportunities to contribute across every aspect of our work.

Working alongside both quantitative and qualitative researchers, you'll support projects across sectors including:
- Toys
- Entertainment
- Charities
- Financial Services
- Consumer Brands
- And many more
This isn't a behind-the-scenes data role. You'll have early exposure to clients and the opportunity to contribute ideas, creativity and ownership from the outset.
You'll also have the chance to help shape how AI is integrated into our research workflows, from questionnaire design and analysis through to reporting and storytelling.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Taking part in client meetings and supporting the briefing and proposal process.
- Contributing to the design of research projects with support from senior colleagues.
- Supporting the planning, delivery and quality assurance of ad-hoc research projects from start to finish.
- Drafting questionnaires and checking survey links.
- Managing project administration and keeping clients updated on progress.
- Producing, checking and interpreting data tables.
- Liaising with sample providers and survey scripting partners in the UK and internationally.
- Helping to create insightful, persuasive and engaging research presentations.
- Supporting the presentation of findings to clients.
- Working closely with Beano Brain's Content Team on thought leadership projects.
- Supporting research projects for Beano Studios, home of the iconic Beano comic.
- Identifying patterns in quantitative data tables.
- Helping to shape responsible uses of AI in questionnaire design, analysis, reporting and storytelling.
Why join Beano Brain?
At Beano Brain, we're passionate about helping organisations better understand the next generation. Our heritage comes from the original Beano rebels, and that spirit still shapes how we think today. We challenge assumptions, ask better questions and use insight to create meaningful impact for our clients.
You'll join a supportive team where your ideas are valued, your development is encouraged and your work will make a real difference from day one.
Ready to help uncover what's next for kids, teens and families? We'd love to hear from you.
