What we’re looking for
This rare opportunity will suit someone with real interpersonal skills and a “can do” attitude, who is looking for a career to bring out the best in themselves. We want people who can write and present their thinking clearly and who combine both analytical and creative thinking abilities. Working across a diverse client portfolio, we’re looking for an intelligent, thoughtful, and action-orientated individual to help our clients better understand behaviour and ultimately lead behavioural change in commercial, not-for-profit and government categories.
Your new company
The Behavioural Architects is a global insights, research, and strategic consultancy. We specialise in understanding and influencing behaviour, and our methodologies are based on cutting edge Behavioural Science. Our purpose: To combine Behavioural Science excellence with creative thinking to develop highly actionable solutions for the most important problems. We look to always create positive impact with our work.
We work with clients from a diverse range of government agencies, not-for-profits, and industries. We help them with design, communication, innovation, and behavioural understanding. Our clients come to us because we are able to help them find solutions to difficult and challenging problems. These might include – how to encourage people to behave more safely around trains, how to encourage people to plant more trees, how to improve people’s financial behaviour, how to reduce bullying in a workforce, or guiding the development of a new chocolate bar! The work is varied and always interesting because all our clients share the common interest in solving problems and achieving their organisational goals through better understanding human behaviour. You will learn about Behavioural Science and equally importantly, how to apply it to solve real-world problems in ways that our clients can easily implement.
