Research-Influenced Revenue Growth
The incremental revenue generated from product launches, marketing campaigns, or market entries that were directly informed and shaped by your team's insights.
Target · Attribute >£5M in incremental revenue annually to insights-driven initiatives.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Shaping Enterprise Strategy

You'll thrive on being the person whose insights directly inform the company's biggest bets, whether it's a new market entry, a major product pivot, or a multi-million-pound marketing campaign. You'll love the challenge of presenting to the Board and seeing your recommendations adopted.

Leading the research programme that convinced the executive team to invest £10M in a completely new product category, based on your team's deep understanding of unmet customer needs.

Building High-Impact Teams & Capabilities

You'll get a real buzz from recruiting top talent, coaching your managers, and seeing your team members grow into leadership roles themselves. You'll enjoy designing new research capabilities and processes that make the entire function more effective and efficient.

Implementing a new global customer segmentation framework that becomes the gold standard across all business units, and watching your team execute it flawlessly.

Solving Complex, Ambiguous Business Problems

You won't just answer questions; you'll help define the right questions to ask. You'll relish diving into fuzzy, ill-defined strategic challenges and using a blend of qualitative and quantitative methods to bring clarity and direction.

Working with the CEO to understand why a key competitor is gaining traction, and then orchestrating a multi-faceted research programme to uncover the underlying drivers and recommend a counter-strategy.

What frustrates people
  • The 'HiPPO' (Highest Paid Person's Opinion) overriding weeks of robust data and analysis because 'they know the customer best.'
  • Being asked to 'find the data that proves my idea is right,' rather than conducting objective discovery, which compromises your team's integrity.
  • Bureaucratic hurdles and slow decision-making processes that delay critical research or prevent timely action on insights.
  • Seeing carefully nuanced findings simplified or misinterpreted by other departments in external communications or sales pitches.
  • The constant battle for budget and resources, even when demonstrating clear ROI, because research is sometimes seen as a 'cost centre' rather than a strategic investment.
  • Dealing with legacy systems or data silos that make it incredibly difficult to get a single, unified view of the customer or market.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, purely analytical role where you can just focus on the numbers without managing people or politics.
  • A predictable, routine work schedule – strategic challenges often emerge unexpectedly and require rapid, high-stakes responses.
  • A role where every single insight you generate is immediately implemented and celebrated – some will be ignored, some will be too early, and some will simply confirm what we already suspected.
  • A chance to avoid difficult conversations or challenging senior leaders – it's an inherent part of the job.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes the strategic direction and market positioning of a significant business unit or product portfolio. Your insights will drive multi-million-pound investment decisions, influence M&A strategy, and fundamentally alter how we understand and serve our customers. You're not just reporting data; you're building the intelligence layer that underpins our growth and competitive defence.

Inside the business
  • C-Suite (CEO, CMO, CPO, CFO)
  • Business Unit Managing Directors
  • Heads of Product Management
  • Heads of Brand & Communications
  • Sales Leadership
  • Finance Directors
Outside the business
  • Major Research Vendors (e.g., NielsenIQ, Kantar, GfK)
  • Industry Analysts & Consultants
  • Key Strategic Partners
  • External Regulators (when applicable to data privacy/ethics)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven track record (15+ years) of leading and scaling market research or insights functions within a complex, multi-national organisation.
  • Demonstrable experience managing significant budgets (multi-million-pound) and achieving clear ROI on insights investments.
  • Extensive experience presenting to and influencing C-suite executives and Board members on strategic business decisions.
  • Deep expertise across both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, with a strong understanding of their strategic application.
  • Experience building, mentoring, and developing high-performing teams, including managers and principal-level individual contributors.
  • A strong understanding of data governance, privacy regulations, and ethical research practices at an enterprise level.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Data Orchestration & Data Mesh Principles

As data sources proliferate, managing and integrating them efficiently becomes a strategic imperative. Directors need to understand how to architect data ecosystems that enable agile, self-service insights across the organisation.

Data Product Thinking · Decentralised Data Governance · Cloud-Native Data Platforms · Data Virtualisation

  • This quarter: Partner with the Data Engineering team to understand their roadmap and identify integration opportunities.
  • Next 6 months: Champion a 'data product' initiative for one key dataset used by your insights team.
  • Next 12 months: Lead the definition of requirements for a new, integrated insights data platform.
  • Ongoing: Educate your team on data mesh principles and foster a culture of data ownership.

Quick win: Identify one critical data silo that hinders your team's analysis and initiate a project with Data Engineering to integrate it into a more accessible, governed format.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly engage with industry thought leaders and attend executive-level conferences (e.g., MRS Impact, ESOMAR Congress, Gartner Marketing Symposium) to stay ahead of trends.
  • Participate in executive education programmes focused on strategic leadership, organisational change, or advanced analytics from top business schools.
  • Publish articles or speak at industry events to establish yourself and the company as a leader in market insights.
  • Mentor emerging talent, both within your team and externally, to foster a culture of continuous learning and leadership.

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

As a Director, your time is precious and best spent on strategic thinking, team leadership, and executive influence. The good news? Artificial Intelligence isn't just for junior analysts anymore. It's a powerful ally that can dramatically reduce the heavy lifting for your team, freeing you up to focus on the bigger picture and drive even greater business impact.

Imagine a world where your team delivers deeper insights faster, where routine tasks are automated, and where you can validate strategic hypotheses with unprecedented speed. AI tools are transforming how we do market research, making your function more agile, more efficient, and ultimately, more valuable to the C-suite. Here's a glimpse of how AI can empower you and your team:

Advanced Analytics & Forecasting Automation

Use AI-powered platforms to automatically identify complex patterns in vast datasets, generate predictive models for market shifts or product adoption, and even simulate different strategic scenarios. This means your team spends less time coding and more time interpreting and acting on the 'what ifs'.

Executive Insight Synthesis & Presentation

Feed hundreds of pages of research reports, competitive analyses, and internal data into an LLM. Prompt it to distil key strategic takeaways, draft compelling executive summaries, and even generate initial slides for Board presentations. You'll refine, not create from scratch, saving hours of high-level synthesis.

Rapid Strategic Hypothesis Testing

Leverage AI to quickly scout market trends, analyse competitor moves, and even generate novel strategic hypotheses based on vast external data. This allows your team to validate or invalidate strategic directions much faster, informing critical business pivots with speed and confidence.

Intelligent Research Programme Design

Use AI to optimise survey design for bias reduction, identify the most effective sampling strategies for niche markets, and even predict potential data quality issues before fieldwork begins. This ensures your research programmes are robust, efficient, and deliver the highest quality insights from the outset.
