Manage and optimize a balanced portfolio that maximizes speed, quality, and impact
Partner Across Teams: Collaborate with research managers, data scientists, marketers, and product leaders to ensure insight alignment and business relevance
Act as an ambassador for modern research tools and methods, helping drive adoption and behavior change across the org
Contribute to Strategic Vision: Support R+I’s long term capability building strategy focused on agility, depth, IP protection, and the next generation of research talent

Requirements:
