About Miller Research
Miller Research is a dynamic public policy consultancy delivering the highest quality research, evaluation and consultancy services for a wide variety of clients including governments, universities, health bodies, local authorities and membership bodies.
A significant proportion of our work is currently in Wales, but this does not limit our vision or scope. We are proud to be an approved B Corp and take an active role in engaging with our peers.
We are looking for a research analyst to become part of our energetic, talented and socially responsible team working across a range of topics including education, health and social care, low carbon and climate resilience, agriculture, social policy and food issues.
We work predominately remotely, and have team members in several locations, along with offices based on an organic farm just outside the market town of Abergavenny. We regularly meet up in workspaces in cities across the UK as being part of a team is important to us. We have been employee owned since 2023.
