Are you our new Research Executive for our team in Barcelona?
We don’t just collect data, we connect data. YouGov is an
international data and analytics group with the ambition to become a
unique part of the global internet infrastructure - like Google for
search, Facebook for social, Amazon for retail, we want it to be YouGov
for opinion. Our value chain is a virtuous circle consisting of a highly
engaged online panel, innovative data collection methods and powerful
analytics technology. From the beginning we had one simple idea: the
more people are able to participate in the decisions made by the
institutions that serve them, the better those decisions will be. We are
a global online community for millions of people, and thousands of
organisations, to engage in a continuous conversation about their
beliefs, behaviours and brands, and provide a more accurate portrait of
what the world thinks.
