Senior Consultant – AI-powered Insight na Verve

About Verve

At Verve, we’re expanding what’s possible in modern research. We combine the best of Human, Cultural, and Artificial Intelligence to help some of the world’s most iconic brands -like Samsung, Unilever, Mars Petcare, and Shell – make faster, smarter decisions.

At Verve, we don’t bolt AI on – we build in it. Through Verve Vero, our AI-powered platform, we fuse rigour, creativity and next-gen tech to deliver transformative solutions and deeper insight – at scale, on demand, and grounded in human truth.

The Role

We’re looking for a smart, curious Senior Consultant to join our AI powered insight team. If you’ve got 3-7 years of hands-on experience in commercial research and want to build range, confidence and impact - this is a great next step to building future-proof skills at the cutting edge of AI and research.

As a key member of Verve’s Vero Build Studio, you’ll design and deliver AI-powered research solutions that bridge technology, insight and real-world business needs.

This client-facing role means getting close to client challenges, shaping and managing projects alongside consultants, and building AI-driven solutions such as our award-winning Verve Intelligent Personas and Simulations (VIPS).

It’s a hands-on role with strategic impact — ideal for someone who wants to create innovative solutions that transform how insight is delivered.

Key Responsibilities:

Project management, implementation & client delivery

• Oversee the end-to-end planning and delivery of Vero solutions to clients, ensuring tools and processes are implemented effectively, and that project outputs are delivered to a high quality.
• Set project timelines, costs, and scope of Verve Vero solutions for clients & internal teams
• Combine insight knowledge with practical application of AI technology through hands on involvement in technical build, deployment, and testing of Verve Vero solutions
  • Including VIPS, our AI-powered audience simulations, and Maven, which helps structure and analyse unstructured data at scale
• Guide and mentor the junior members of the Build Studio team in project management, client delivery and development
• Be a face of Vero for clients, bringing credibility, specialist knowledge, reassurance and guidance through first-hand experience of Vero builds, problem solving and solutions.
• Support the wider Consulting team in client pitches, scoping meetings, roll-out, debriefs and activation of Vero solutions

Solution Development & Internal Enablement

• Collaborate with the R&D team to refine Vero tools, incorporating feedback from internal teams and clients.
• Develop and maintain client-facing materials, such as user guides, case studies, and onboarding documentation.
• Provide strategic guidance on how Vero tools can enhance Verve’s research methodologies and deliverables.
• Act as a Vero ambassador, educating internal teams on tools, methodologies, and the client benefits of Vero solutions.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3–7 years’ experience. Direct commercial insight background is valuable but not essential — we also welcome candidates from adjacent fields (e.g. consultancy, creative or tech-driven agencies, marketing, product, UX, or innovation) who bring strong transferable skills
• Experience in client delivery or project management

• Interest or experience in applying AI to product development or improving ways of working

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and stakeholders

• A clear, confident communicator - able to explain complex technical ideas simply and align teams around them 

• A growth mindset – you’re comfortable with ambiguity, take initiative without waiting for detailed direction, and thrive in fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments
• UK-based candidate. Able to work from our Manchester Hub at least once pm

Bonus points for:

• Familiarity with AI concepts and techniques, such as large language models, machine learning, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation models.
  • Note: We will provide training and guidance in the specific processes and tech underpinning Verve Vero solutions
• Technical literacy, such as coding or working with APIs, is a bonus
