About the Role

As a Senior Strategic Research Advisor , you’ll play a key role in bridging the gap between data and decision-making. Working closely with our Head of Research, client teams, and specialists across media, strategy, and creative, you’ll ensure that insights are embedded in everything from marketing strategies to commercial decisions.

What You’ll Do

Identify new business opportunities through research and support the development of growth strategies. You have the ability to turn a client meeting into a requirement elicitation opportunity. You bring new and innovative ideas to what research can mean and want to stretch the bounds of conventional agency research offerings.

Understand what a good insights toolbox looks like for agency clients, and you are excited about building more research products and services to bring more nuanced and granular insights to clients.

Collaborate with internal teams to integrate insights into broader client solutions and incorporate more insights into client offers in a way that makes sense for them and will help them measure success in their media and brand strategies.

Translate research into clear, commercially relevant insights that inform marketing, product, pricing, and growth strategies. You will develop actionable recommendations that optimize brand positioning, campaigns, media investments, and customer experiences.

Present findings in client meetings and workshops, guiding discussions toward strategic outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

Commercial acumen and a proactive, curious mindset. You have experience managing and building client relationships, building a CRM, and using automation and technology whenever possible to optimize workflows.

Strong understanding of marketing, media, and commercial strategy. You can turn data insights into strategic recommendations for clients. You are eager to learn about their particular needs, challenges, and goals, and will tailor your suggestions based on this knowledge.

Proven experience turning research into business results. You can advise clients and client leads on strategic insights based on data. You can turn data into stories, and you know how to convey these stories to a varied audience of stakeholders with different areas of expertise and professional backgrounds.

Excellent communication and presentation skills, with undeniable executive presence, natural confidence, and technical data analysis skills.

Experience working cross-functionally with strategy, media, product, and marketing teams. You can multitask and wear many hats at the same time, always looking for opportunities to grow the research department at dentsu and integrate new insights work and products into the client portfolio.

Familiarity with advanced research methods (e.g., segmentation, pricing, MaxDiff, conjoint) is a plus.

Fluency in English (Norwegian is a plus).

Who you are :

Breathe sales and close deals with ease— always on the hunt for your next win. You have at least 5 years of experience in sales / client management in creative / agency roles.

Bring proven experience selling research services (or comparable agency offerings), understand the insights-buying cycle, and arrive prepared to meet clients and stakeholders, understanding how to commercialize insights.

You genuinely love networking and building connections, building rapport effortlessly in client meetings, industry events, and casual chats.

You know how to build relationships with clients and internal stakeholders.

You have undeniable executive presence— your enthusiasm and confidence put prospects at ease and keep them engaged.

You command attention— whether presenting to C-suite or in informal settings, you make an impression, craft compelling pitches, and leverage networking opportunities to close deals.
