We are currently looking for people to join our team!

You are the kind of person who is interested in the differences between oat milk and almond milk in a blind taste test and intrigued by the impact a brand or pack can have on a consumers’ final experience.

You’re curious, meticulous, and a have an eye for the details others might overlook. You love diving into data but also enjoy the creative process of shaping products that people love. You’re just as comfortable running a sensory study as you are explaining the "why" behind the results to a client who’s ready to shake up the market.

Do you want to be part of something meaningful and help create the next big thing in food, drink, and beyond? If you like a role that’s varied, where no two days are the same and learning is a constant, you want to grow, and be surrounded by smart, kind people who care about the work just as much as the vibe this could be the role for you.

T garage is a market research and strategy agency that helps brands design, test, and launch their innovations with confidence. You’ll collaborate closely with the wider team on everything from taste tests to big-picture strategy, contributing across sensory, qual, quant, and innovation projects.

We’re looking for people who bring sensory or consumer experience expertise but are also keen to jump into broader research at T garage and strategy work. You’ll be managing projects, collaborating with clients, and getting hands-on in our facilities and out in the world. If you like being a key team member and have a spark to push things forward, read on.

What you'll be doing:

Leading or executing sensory research projects from proposal through to delivery

Designing research tools (proposals, questionnaires, discussion guides, etc.) that hit the mark

Running fieldwork, moderating, and helping with everything in between

Turning data into insights that make sense — and make an impact

Working across internal teams, clients, and fieldwork partners to deliver exceptional work.

Supporting and learning across wider qualitative and quantitative projects

You’re a great fit if you:

Have 3+ years’ experience in sensory research or similar

Come from a background in food science, nutrition, or consumer science, experience or insights

Know your way around qual and quant methods — or are open and eager to learn

Are confident managing multiple projects and deadlines

Communicate clearly, think critically, and never miss the details

Are full of initiative and up for whatever the day throws at you

Want to work somewhere that values flexibility, collaboration, and good humans

The details:

Location: Melbourne

Positions: Research Executive Level through to Senior Consultant

Start date: Approx. October

Salary: Range $80,000 - $115,000 (including super), depending on experience

Must have full working rights in Australia.

We’re a team of curious thinkers, practical problem-solvers and food lovers. We don’t do cookie-cutter research, we work with heart and purpose to help our clients create better, more meaningful products.

If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you!
