As a Research Specialist, you will join the Culture & Insights team of WPP Media, leader in Belgium and Worldwide as one of the largest media investment groups. We are a passionate and talented bunch of people who love diversity and welcome initiative. Our mission is to deliver actionable insights for our clients to improve their media and communication strategies. We believe everything is possible if you put your mind to it, and we are proud to have some of the best data scientists, analysts and researchers in our ranks locally as internationally.

• You are curious, proactive and customer oriented.
• You have several years of experience in research. Preferably at a research agency or media agency but can also be on the client side or management side.
• You have a 'make it happen' mentality.
• You are analytically strong; you don't shy away from SPSS and Excel analysis and have a passion for data and technology and see opportunities for innovation everywhere.
• You have a growth mindset: you are eager to learn, open to change and want to get a better at what you do every day.
• You are a team player who gets energy from working together

We truly believe talent and attitude beats experience, and we love positive ambitious persons. In a fast-moving media environment, we face many challenges and continuous change, so we are thus looking for people who are not afraid to take ownership on projects and give proof of a clear ‘consider it done mentality’. As an important “actor” in the service industry, we expect you to be service minded by nature, but with a good twist of assertiveness.

You need to be proficient in Microsoft Office and SPSS. To see the big picture, you need to be able to combine analytical skills with conceptual thinking. Being passionate about media is a real must … so are your future teammates. Being part of a big international group, means that we expect you to be fluent in French, Dutch and English (or at least to become it over time).

Do you feel the energy, and do you already see yourself fully participating in our team? Then don't wait any longer! Who knows, maybe we'll soon have a cup of coffee to get acquainted. We can't wait to hear from you.
