As Research and Insight Manager, you’ll play a key role in championing the voice of our customers, making sure their needs, views and expectations are fully understood and placed at the heart of everything we do at British Heart Foundation (BHF).
You’ll work closely with teams across the organisation, including brand and marketing, fundraising, retail and medical, acting as their research insight partner. You’ll help shape insight plans, lead research projects, and deliver findings that directly inform strategic and operational decisions.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for:
- Partnering with colleagues to convert complex and diverse business needs into focused insight plans, aligning the right research mix to products, audiences and priorities
- Managing research projects from start to finish, ensuring they’re delivered on time, within budget and to a high standard

You’re comfortable managing research from start to finish – from writing briefs and designing surveys or discussion guides, to overseeing fieldwork, conducting analysis and presenting findings. You’ve worked closely with external research agencies, managing procurement and delivery, and you know how to translate complex methodologies and data into clear, actionable insights that resonate with colleagues at all levels, including those without a research background.
You’ll bring:
- Expertise in selecting and tailoring research methods to varied business questions
- A deep understanding of ethical research practices, GDPR, and inclusive research approaches
- Strong questionnaire design skills and experience using survey software
- Excellent communication and consultancy skills, with the ability to influence and advise stakeholders at all levels
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritising effectively and delivering to a high standard
- A proactive mindset, always looking for ways to improve processes and working practices
Experience in a health-related field, managing customer research communities or panels, and line management would be a bonus but it’s not essential.
