Client Partner

At Toluna, we keep the world's biggest brands one step ahead of their markets, their competitors, and their customers. For 25+ years we've been a leader in consumer insights, and today we're at the center of our industry's biggest shift: the move to AI-powered research grounded in real human truth.

Brands come to us because we've solved a problem most of our industry is still wrestling with: how to move fast without losing trust in the answer. Speed comes from AI we've been developing in-house since 2019, always-on platforms, and a 79M+ validated consumer community across 100+ countries.

Introduction:

Client Partners sit at the centre of Toluna's client ecosystem, acting as trusted advisors to senior stakeholders while driving commercial growth, strategic account development, and AI enabled insight.

This role goes beyond traditional research leadership. Client Partners are expected to champion Toluna's AI capabilities, including Synthetic Personas, and AI-driven analytics, integrating them into reporting and client strategies to unlock faster, bigger, and more future proof decisions.

Champion AI & Innovation

• Guide clients on how to integrate AI driven insight into their planning cycles, workflows, and organisational decision processes.
• Collaborate with product, analytics, and innovation teams to feedback market needs and help shape future AI capabilities.

Deliver commercial success for your portfolio

Responsibilities:

• Deliver against a bookings target through consultative selling of AI enabled platforms and full service insight solutions.
• Develop and execute strategic account plans that prioritise long term growth, retention, and innovation adoption.
• Lead and support major pitches, ensuring best in class storytelling, clarity of value, and strong win rates.
