Why join Kantar?

We go beyond the obvious, using intelligence, passion and creativity to inspire new thinking and shape the world we live in. We understand more about how people think, feel, shop, share, vote and view than anyone else. Combining our expertise in human understanding with advanced technologies, nobody knows people better than Kantar.

And because we know people, we like to make sure our people are looked after as well. Equality of opportunity for our people are our highest priority, and we encourage our people to work in a way that supports their health and wellbeing. While we encourage our colleagues to spend part of their working week in the office, we understand no one size fits all, and we’re flexible in our approach to ensure people feel included and accepted.

We’re committed to creating an inclusive culture and value the diversity of our people, clients, suppliers and communities, which is why we welcome applications from all background and sections of society. Even if you feel like you’re not a perfect fit, we’d love to receive your application and talk to you about this job or others at Kantar.
