Roles & Responsibilities

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 are proudly privately held and conduct about 300+ annual engagements across the globe. No one can ever accuse us of standing still in the 30 years since we began challenging the status quo.

We are a collective of anthropologists, semioticians, historians, behavioural economists, strategists, entrepreneurs, designers, and more. Our shared values & purpose influence the work that we do, with the aim of putting humans at the centre of business decision making.

Our thinking is informed by the field of human sciences, and businesses across the globe approach us to solve complex business, category and brand challenges that involve a deep understanding of human and social behaviour. 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
