What we look for

Curiosity

We've never been content with research that just describes consumer behaviour. We want to understand what drives that behaviour. That's why we set up NSI and developed NeedScope.

We need people who are immensely curious, enjoy being challenged and want to make a difference to businesses all over the world.
