Euromonitor International leads the world in data analytics and research into markets, industries, economies and consumers. We provide truly global insight and data on thousands of products and services; we are the first destination for organisations seeking growth. With our guidance, our clients can make bold, strategic decisions with confidence.
Overview of the role
Consulting Department
Strong demand for customised research from multinational and local companies to provide accurate, up-to-date data and insightful China market analysis means our Shanghai office is a key hub for Consulting opportunities and continues to expand.
We support functions from marketing, market knowledge, insights, innovation, commercial development, planning and design custom research solutions ranging from simple data collection to market size, segmentation, competitive intelligence, survey analysis, market entry and strategy frameworks. Our solutions combine qualitative and quantitative methods for stronger data and deeper insights.
The role

You will be a highly self-motivated individual with a proven track record of consultative selling (excellent questioning and listening skills are vital) in the business-to-business arena combined with a good understanding of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and their business applications.
You will be comfortable dealing with senior management in customer organisations and have the commercial awareness and persuasiveness to design research solutions and sell their benefits matched to clients’ information needs and strategic goals.
Sales are confirmed through detailed tailor-made business proposals which summarise the client’s objectives, information needs and research solution so English and business writing skills are vital.
