Business Case:

Complex Infrastructure (part of AtkinsRéalis PPS) requires a Market Research Analyst to enhance the intelligence and insight that supports Client Directors in their strategic decision-making. The role is designed to standardise and elevate the quality of information provided to Client Directors, enabling them to focus on developing strategies rather than spending time gathering data.

By centralising market research, the business aims to ensure that all Client Directors, regardless of their individual levels of curiosity or tactical focus, have access to high-quality, actionable intelligence. The ultimate goal is to accelerate learning and improve business outcomes by providing timely and relevant market insights that drive growth and improve competitive positioning.

Market Research Assignments:

Broad Assignments:

• Gather comprehensive information on key clients, such as operational structures, directorates, levels of spend, contract details, incumbents, and leadership.
• Utilise multiple sources such as client websites, stock charts, internal databases (e.g., Tussell), LinkedIn, and other professional networks to compile a detailed picture of the client’s business and potential opportunities.
• Support strategies for client engagement by identifying key individuals within the client’s organisation and understanding their roles and relationships with those within AtkinsRéalis.

Narrow Assignments:

• Analyse specific areas of operation, contrasting internal performance data with client feedback to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
• Support recruitment efforts by identifying potential candidates within the competition who can bring valuable relationships and expertise to the company.
• Monitor competitors' contracts and procurement activities, gathering insights to proactively address potential weaknesses in competitor performance and to position the company as an alternative.

• Create and maintain a database of client and market intelligence, continuously updating it with new information to support ongoing business development efforts.
• Engage with Client Directors to prioritise assignments and ensure that research efforts align with the highest business priorities.
• Develop and present findings in a clear, accessible format that Client Directors can use to drive business strategies and client engagement.

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to effectively present findings to Client Directors and other stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple research assignments simultaneously, prioritising tasks based on business needs.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with a creative approach to finding and utilising various information sources.
• Proficiency in using data visualisation tools to present complex information in a user-friendly format.
