Senior Project Manager – Quant Research
£33,000–£38,000 + 10% Bonus | Hybrid (Berkshire-based)
Tired of London commuting? Join a collaborative and close-knit ops team just outside the city, where you’ll have the chance to lead global research projects, manage junior team members, and actually enjoy being in the office again (twice a week – with flexible working the rest of the time).
We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager with solid online quantitative fieldwork experience, strong attention to detail, and the ability to keep multiple plates spinning at once. This isn’t a coordinator role — we need someone hands-on and ready to lead.
This role will suit candidate working in project management roles or fieldwork management roles in full service MR agencies or fieldwork/panel companies.

Troubleshoot, check survey scripts, and ensure projects meet high ethical and compliance standards.
Support proposal costings and continuous improvements to project delivery.
Must-haves:
Strong background in fieldwork operations for online quant research.
Project management confidence – you’ll be both a

doer

and a

leader.
Experience with stakeholder management and internal team briefings.
Line management or supervisory experience.
You’ll fit right in if you’re:
Detail-driven, proactive, collaborative, and calm under pressure. Someone who thrives on structure but brings fresh ideas.
Why this role?
Hybrid working: 2 days in the office (Wednesdays + one of your choice), up to 3 days remote
Friendly and experienced team of 9 in Ops – small enough to make a big impact
Great location near Newbury station with gated parking available
Real development opportunities as the is growing
Package includes:
Salary £33–38k DOE
Up to 10% performance bonus
25 days holiday (+ bank hols), rising with service
