Business Development Careers at Kantar
At Kantar, Business Development is not just about selling. It is about partnering with clients to help them make better decisions and grow with confidence in an increasingly complex world.
Our teams sit at the point where deep client understanding, commercial thinking and insight come together, shaping strategies that influence markets, categories and culture.
This is a role where you see the outcome of your work — in the campaigns delivered, the innovations brought to market, and the long-term growth strategies built through strong partnerships.
Hear from Jeff Greenspoon as he shares what makes Business Development careers at Kantar exciting, impactful and full of opportunity.
This is where your work shows up in the real world.
You are not selling a product — you are helping some of the world’s most influential brands, from Amazon and Coca-Cola to TikTok, Meta and Audi, make decisions that drive real growth.
It is consultative, high-impact work, where every conversation can shape strategy, unlock opportunities and build long-term partnerships.
You are joining a business that is evolving, where commercial teams bring Intelligence for Brand Growth to life by connecting insight, technology and human thinking to help clients act with confidence in a more complex world.
At the same time, you grow as a commercial leader, supported by strong coaching, smart tools and a global network of experts, in an environment where technology enhances your impact rather than replacing it.
If you want to work on complex, high-visibility challenges and see the tangible impact of what you do, this is that role.
Technology is reshaping how brands operate, and how we partner with them. At Kantar, AI is something we have been building into our work for years, combining advanced analytics, proprietary data and human expertise to deliver smarter, faster decisions.
For our Business Development teams, this translates into tools and capabilities that help you identify opportunities, personalise engagement and demonstrate value more effectively.
You will be working in an environment where technology supports your thinking, removes friction and allows you to focus on what matters most: building relationships, solving complex problems and driving growth.
