Associate Director

Nau mai, haere mai – join us in shaping meaningful social impact in Aotearoa

At Ipsos, we believe powerful social research flourishes when grounded in whanaungatanga, manaakitanga, and deep respect for the communities we serve. We’re seeking an experienced Wellington-based social researcher who thrives in culturally anchored research spaces, and who brings bold insight to issues facing all people. 

We’re open to considering candidates at either Research Associate Director or Director level, depending on experience, scope, and cultural leadership strengths. 

About the Role:
In this role you will lead project teams in the design, set-up, and management of cutting-edge social research projects for predominantly government clients, while also driving account management and business development activities. You will play a pivotal role in mentoring your direct report and other junior researchers, shaping their career path and skills.
