What you will be doing

We are currently looking for EU Market Senior Research Managers to join our Policy and Research team to help us further grow our European work. They will help us win and deliver research, evaluation and consultancy projects across one or more of our EU policy areas including employment, education, skills, social inclusion, equalities, youth, digital, intra-EU labour mobility, climate change, migration as well as monitoring and evaluation of communication activities.

Our Senior Research Managers will have the opportunity to work for a variety of key clients, including the European Commission (e.g. DG EMPL, DG EAC, DG CNCT, DG RTD, DG HOME) and other EU bodies and agencies.

As a Senior Research Manager, you can expect to:

• Manage medium to large research projects, control budgets and timescales and oversee teams of other researchers and experts.
• Utilise core technical skills to design and oversee research and evaluation methodologies covering mixed-method research techniques. This will involve a variety of primary, secondary, qualitative and quantitative research methods such as desk research, interviews, surveys, focus groups and statistical analysis.
• Successfully conclude projects through the production of high-quality written reports, presentations, articles and the use of other dissemination channels.
• Manage high-performing technical delivery teams to work within tight deadlines.
• As a key part of the role, you will be expected to work with Ecorys Directors to lead proposals for new work, and to actively research opportunities to grow the company's portfolio of EU market opportunities.

What we will need from you

• Strong knowledge of EU policy in relevant thematic fields.
• Experience in the development and delivery of evaluations and/or research, including the successful application of analytical approaches and technical research skills. Prior experience in delivering EU impact assessments would be an advantage.
• A drive for business development, ideally with track record in winning new projects and tender writing.
• Experience of stakeholder management and building and maintaining client relationships.
• Experience in working with multidisciplinary and multicultural research teams (including industry and academic experts as well as partners and subcontractors).
• An excellent level of spoken and written English and strong presentation skills are essential. Other languages are an advantage.

We offer a highly competitive benefits package. Roles can be based in our office locations in either London or Brussels.
