Kick-start your career at Blauw, the best research agency in Rotterdam! Are you eager to make a real impact through research? Are you curious, analytical, and do you want to work for leading Dutch advertisers and international brands? As a Junior Research Manager at Blauw, you will be involved in challenging projects from day one. You will learn the trade in practice, discover where your talents lie, and help build strong brands.

What will you be doing?

You will step into the world of market research and brand consultancy:

• Involved from A to Z: You will support the setup and management of research projects, from questionnaire to presentation.
• Learning & building together: You will work closely with experienced colleagues to develop strategies and provide solutions for real marketing and brand questions.
• Making an impact with insights: Your analyses will help clients make smart choices and position their brands more strongly.
• Project management & client contact: You will monitor schedules, liaise with clients, and ensure projects run smoothly.
• Translating data into action: You will analyse data and translate these insights into clear and concrete recommendations.

At Blauw, you are given the trust and freedom to take the initiative. Your creative solutions matter, allowing you to see the results of your work immediately.

As a Strategic Research Consultant, you are responsible for ensuring we provide our clients with sound advice based on research results. You understand the client’s challenges and know how to help them further through research. You act as a strategic sparring partner for sponsorship managers, partnership managers, and marketers. Additionally, you contribute to business development by engaging in substantive discussions with (potential) clients and challenging them with our vision and approach.

Who are you?

• A curious graduate or career-starter who is eager to learn the trade in practice.
• Someone who sees challenges as opportunities and is not afraid to take the initiative.
• Communicatively skilled, proactive, and someone who enjoys bringing projects to a successful conclusion.
• Eager to learn and ambitious, with the drive to grow continuously.
• Enthusiastic about one or more of our research and consultancy domains.
• Basic knowledge of SPSS is an advantage, but not a requirement.

For this position, it is a requirement that you have an excellent command of the Dutch language and are also resident in the Netherlands.

What do we offer?

• A dynamic entry-level position at a leading research agency in the heart of Rotterdam with a starting salary of £2,641.
• Personal growth: Intensive guidance, on-the-job learning, and an extensive training programme.
• Flexibility and autonomy: Choose your own route to success with flexible working hours and the space to specialise.
• An inspiring work environment with enthusiastic, ambitious, and energetic colleagues.
• The opportunity to work on projects for both national and international top brands.

We believe it is important that you continue to develop yourself. Employees are given the space to deepen their knowledge and the freedom to choose their own route to success.

You will work with colleagues who want to move forward and who stimulate each other to make things a little better, smarter, or easier for our clients and ourselves.

You can use our huge terrace above Stadhuisplein to work, have lunch, drink coffee, hold meetings, or exercise with colleagues.
