Verve is "The Artificial Intelligence, Human and Cultural understanding business".
We take the 'three intelligences' and apply them across our three AI Augmented practice areas of Insight Communities, Insight Consultancy, Culture & Futures and one game-changing AI product- Verve Intelligent Personas.
We're growing our high performing insight team. South African team members are fully integrated into account teams for our clients in Europe, North America and Australia, as well as working with our multi-national African client base as this grows.
We are looking to bring on board more local talent across all levels, and as part of this we'll be hiring several Research Executives and Senior Research Executives who are experienced in traditional quantitative and qualitative research methods, or have stronger experience in one of these approaches and are looking to put in the time and effort to learn new skills and become stronger researchers.
In turn, we'll provide you with the opportunity to work on major global accounts including Samsung, DeBeers jewellers, H&M, John Lewis, Bacardi, Kraft Heinz, Shell and many others.
What we offer:
The opportunity to develop your career in an AI-empowered insight team on large global accounts within an entrepreneurial, can-do team environment where everyone is empowered to be all that they can be
Direct involvement on projects with colleagues across Verve; excellent on the job training as well as enjoying the feeling of being a central member of each account team you work on
Competitive salary and bonus package aimed to attract the best in the industry and therefore, enable you to work alongside and learn from/with the best in the industry
A truly multi-cultural environment. We believe in building a culture that is supportive, friendly and social, and this is true in all our local teams

An interest in using leading-edge AI within insight projects

Experience working in an environment with a lot of pace, responsive to ever-changing client needs, iterative working and juggling multiple responsibilities at once
