About Kantar

As a Research Executive at Kantar, you will be part of an enthusiastic team working with major (international) clients - including banks, insurance companies, food companies, breweries, soft drink manufacturers, supermarket chains, car manufacturers, and various other market-leading organizations. You will help them gain insights and provide advice that improves their customer experience.
In this role, you independently maintain client relationships, translate their questions into an appropriate research approach, and turn research data into relevant actions and advice. Since many of our clients are international, communication often takes place in English.

* You set up quantitative research independently, in collaboration with our internal and external project managers.

* You analyze and interpret research results and translate them into strategic recommendations.
* You present results to clients and create impact with our insights.
* You keep an eye on the financial/commercial performance of your projects and adjust where needed.
* You build strong client relationships through daily interactions and can identify opportunities where Kantar can further support the client.

What We Expect From You
* You have completed an academic degree.
* Preferably, you already have some experience in market research.
* You are enthusiastic about helping clients and are interested in how large organizations can become more customer-oriented.
* You are proactive, assertive, and customer-focused.
* You can perform well under time pressure.
* You have excellent communication skills and a strong command of English (spoken and written), knowledge of Dutch is an advantage
* You enjoy giving presentations.
* You are a good team player.
* You like working with numbers and enjoy performing statistical analyses.

If you recognize yourself in this, come work with us!

We Offer
* A versatile job in an inspiring, international, and informal working environment at a leading organization, where you will work with a team of enthusiastic colleagues on challenging projects for some of the world's largest companies.

Additionally, we offer:
* A lot of responsibility and freedom to develop your own initiatives.
* Plenty of opportunities to grow and further develop yourself.
* Access to the expertise and innovative tools of an international organization that knows everything about brands and how to make them stronger.
