Lead – Insights & Strategy Researchers at Quantum, work to answer the most challenging & strategic client questions
They reveal the human behind the product or brand by conducting primary research, exploring behaviours and motivations, and applying a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach that marries rigour of thick data analysis with strategic frame-working. They inspire clients by delivering deeper empathy for the user and bring alive the user’s experience through insights, case studies and storytelling.
ABOUT QUANTUM
Quantum is a specialised human & culture driven strategy consulting company with 9 offices spread across 7 countries in Asia & UK.

We address client issues across the value chain – Future visioning and growth opportunity mapping, business purpose, building strong purpose-led brands and conceptualizing new products & services.
At the workplace, we strive to create joy and nurture our people to be the best version of themselves. That over a third of our workforce has been here for over 10+ years is testament that we are a great place to work and grow
