From the employer
About Woozle Research
Woozle Research is a multi-award-winning primary research firm serving the world's largest institutional investors. Founded in 2016, with offices in London and Glasgow, we work with hedge funds, private equity firms, and investment banks across global markets.
We combine primary research expertise with first-hand stakeholder intelligence to deliver timely, differentiated insight into the real-world factors that drive investment returns. Our work is delivered through two core methodologies: channel checks — bespoke B2B and B2C surveys fielded to targeted, verified respondent panels — and moderated expert calls with subject-matter specialists.
Our work is held to an institutional standard, and it rests entirely on our analysts. Every project — from instrument design and respondent recruiting through to fieldwork and final client output — is run in-house, which is why we invest heavily in developing people early in their careers.
