Opportunity Summary

Tussell is the go-to source of information on what the UK public sector is buying, from who. We mine data on contracts and spending from thousands of public sector organisations and turn it into insights on the biggest marketplace in the UK. Our clients include large suppliers, small companies looking to increase their public sector business, and the government itself.

We have recently undergone a period of significant expansion and are thus looking for an experienced researcher to manage and grow our internal and external research output. The ideal candidate will be experienced in originating, scoping and producing high quality quantitative, politically-relevant reports.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to break into a more senior research role in the near future. While the role will initially sit underneath a Head of Research, we are looking for someone who is capable and eager to grow into that position over the medium term.
