Head of Research – 12 Month Maternity Cover | 📍London – Hybrid (2 days per week) | 💰Competitive Salary + Benefits

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Head of Research to join Moonpig on a 12 month maternity cover contract, working hybrid 2 days per week in the office. You will need to be available to join end of November - early December.

Research at Moonpig goes beyond understanding what customers think. We combine customer insight, behavioural data and commercial context to identify the problems that matter, uncover opportunities for growth and help the business make better decisions.

You’ll join an established Research function with a high performing team of three, and a clear strategy and roadmap already in place. This isn’t about starting from scratch. It’s about getting up to speed quickly, building strong relationships and keeping momentum behind the work that matters.

Over the 12 months, you’ll lead and develop the team, deliver our key research priorities, strengthen the Voice of the Customer and help more teams across Moonpig access and use quality research.

We’re looking for someone pragmatic, confident and focused on delivery. Someone who can turn customer understanding into action and make sure Research continues to have a meaningful impact on our customers and Moonpig’s growth.
