More about Market Gravity

  • At Market Gravity, we combine commercial consulting, market research and design & prototyping skills under one roof. We’re growing fast, with new business sectors, new clients and new team members across our offices (currently London, New York and Edinburgh). Our clients give us great feedback about the unique role we play in building their businesses - we’re not a conventional management consultancy or creative agency; we’re the best of both
  • To date, together with clients such as Aegon, American Airlines, Barclays, British Gas, Boots, First Direct, HSBC, Visa and Vodafone, we’ve designed and launched new services - from a peer to peer energy platform, to smart mobile payment solutions.

  • The job will be based in Edinburgh, although while we are based in Scotland, team members can expect to travel when we work on-site with clients
  • We are a team of passionate and hard-working people who work in a culture of openness and shared responsibility. We are committed to delivering work of the highest quality to our clients that will excite their customers and meet their business objectives
  • We share our ideas and experiences via a global group messaging platform, blogs, social media and our very own Corporate Entrepreneur Awards held each year (we also just talk to each other)
  • We offer a competitive package that uniquely includes a share in the profits of the business and are committed to career development and training

Given the high volume of applications we receive, we are unfortunately only able to respond to applications that are invited for interview.
