Research Consultant - AI, Innovation and Social Impact
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Salary: $AUD 100,000 + Super
Job Spec: This is a rare and unique opportunity for a talented market or social researcher to combine their demonstrated interest in AI and emerging technologies with social and for‑purpose research. I am working with a team that sits at the intersection of social impact and research innovation. Our work spans issues that shape everyday life in Australia: health, housing, education, transport, disability, domestic violence, public services, media consumption, online safety, and more.
This role is for the curious thinkers, the boundary‑pushers, the problem‑solvers who enjoy showing colleagues and clients what’s possible when research rigor meets emerging tech. We need someone with strong commercial consulting skills who can influence stakeholders, spark new ways of thinking, and help teams embed AI responsibly into the way they work.
What you’ll do
- Design and deliver research that matters across health, housing, disability, education, and more.
- Lead and collaborate on both quantitative and qualitative projects, from design to delivery.
- Use AI tools to streamline workflows, deepen insights, and push innovation responsibly.
- Influence and inspire colleagues and clients to embrace new approaches.
- Bring commercial consulting skills into a social research setting.
What you’ll bring
- 4‑6 years’ experience in a research consultancy (social or commercial).
- A mix of quantitative and qualitative research experience from surveys to focus groups, analysis to reporting.
- Sharp commercial consulting skills – client‑facing, influencing, presenting.
- Curiosity about AI and how it can be applied meaningfully to social research.
- Strong rigour in methods, detail, and delivery.
- A collaborative mindset.
Benefits: flexibility, hybrid working, and the chance to work alongside industry experts on projects that genuinely shape policy, services, and society.
