We have a client roster that includes PepsiCo, Kraft Heinz, Danone, Diageo, Haleon, and Unilever.
Based in the UK, we have consistently grew our client relationships, headcount and revenue, and we're now looking ahead to our next phase of growth within the US market. The US strategy consulting market is worth approximately $28 billion and growing at 3.9% annually. Forge enters with real advantages: warm client relationships with US-headquartered businesses, the operational platform of MSQ (our parent group) anchored on West 23rd Street in Manhattan, and a proposition that is already resonating on both sides of the Atlantic.
To support this growth, we are hiring a director-level Consumer Insights and Analytics Director with an ability to tackle a breadth of growth challenges and the energy and excitement to be a foundational part of helping us to help expand our capabilities in the region.

You will work closely with and report into Forge's leadership team.
Key Responsibilities
Understand clients' strategic and commercial needs, then develop and deliver bespoke quantitative solutions to meet them
Manage complex client projects hands-on, end to end
Use quantitative consumer insight to advise C-suite clients on strategy and direction
Lead and grow key client relationships
Key Skills & Experience
Significant experience in a strategic quantitative consultancy or high-end market research agency, in a predominantly client-facing, commercial role
Proven track record of growing client revenue and developing accounts
Strong quantitative grounding paired with the fluency to talk about innovation, growth and brand strategy at a senior consulting level - someone who can move comfortably between the data and the wider commercial narrative, not just report the numbers behind it
Strong project management experience, with the ability to develop, lead and execute complex studies
Confident in working with analytical and commercial forecasting outputs
Confidence working across multiple insight sources, distilling key findings and translating them into actionable recommendations
A confident storyteller and presenter
Comfortable owning client relationships at a senior level
A natural problem-solver and trusted advisor, comfortable sharing a challenging point of view when it helps clients meet their objectives
