Incenting and driving innovation within the center with a focus on tech, proprietary AI research tools, and GenAI adoption, in close partnership with the Center's Applied Business Analytics (ABA) team member
Serving as the Center's connective tissue to broader R&I operating norms and own cross-center collaboration/connection
Supporting cross-R&I transformation and continuous improvement efforts as designated team leads
Operationalize center strategy and drive cross R&I standardization, including:
Manage center research portfolio
Maintain a single, integrated portfolio plan and view of all active research efforts
Drive prioritization, sequencing, and capacity visibility; ensure clear communication within the center, with DI editorial and publishing, and BM&C and project stakeholders
Ensure work is progressing against plan; intervene early when not using PM standards
Manage budget
Ensure research teams adhere to Research & Insights operating standards and strategic priorities, including:
Project and program management practices
Standardized workflows and tools
Impact and ROI tracking aligned with S&O-defined approach
Planning and review cadence
AI-enabled processes and platforms
Create and sustain an environment of experimentation and growth, encouraging teams to:
Pilot new tools, methods, and formats
Share learnings and scale best practices across R&I
Iterate based on feedback and performance data

Thought Leadership Deployment Strategy & Execution

Drive internal deployment and activation excellence, ensuring research outputs are effectively operationalized across the practice (e.g., enablement, practice leader activation readiness, account integration, internal campaigns)
Lead the relationship with BM&C and center aligned marketers who will lead external deployment:
Provide clear deployment inputs, priorities, and requirements to BM&C
Ensure alignment on timelines, messaging, and campaign objectives
Document, codify, and maintain activation and collaboration best practices
Nurture the existing best practice community for activation, engagement, and deployment excellence (coaching, capability building, and knowledge sharing) with a clear connection to the Research & Insights Strategy & Operations team
Ensure execution against agreed plans, with a primary focus on internal readiness, enablement, and adoption
Coordinate internal activation across priority channels (practice leader activation, account teams, events, and internal campaigns)
Track deployment effectiveness (in close collaboration with S&O) and feed insights back into planning
Represent the Center to proactively position research as a driver of GTM and client impact
Drive innovation in the creation of internal packaging and enablement (modular content, account-tailored assets, new enablement experiences) to expand usability and adoption

Lead Priority Programs
Own flagship Center or Cross R&I programs (e.g., strategic initiatives, global or signature research program management)
Design and manage integrated plans across research, writing, publishing, and deployment

Required :
Undergraduate degree
At least 8 years of professional experience in strategy, operations, and/or thought leadership project management
Demonstrated LSHC industry experience
Demonstrated ability to design an AI-enabled workflow to:
Reduce cycle times (drafting, packaging, repurposing, measurement synthesis):
Create and implement standard QA gates for deployment packages (message discipline, audience fit, proof points)
Construct and communicate a measurement plan (what "impact" means, how to attribute, how to apply feedback into planning)
Excellent business writing skills
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills; ability to think creatively, utilize technology-assisted applications to build efficiencies and standardization across outputs
Demonstrated experience in project and team management
Strong people skills that create credibility to influence executive-level strategic thinking and create demand for new research initiatives
Ability to prioritize and perform multiple tasks simultaneously
