The AI Research Operations & Enablement Lead sits within the Global Insights & Strategy team, part of Global Marketing (Marketing, Brand & Communications). The role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations and enablement, building and scaling the operational and AI foundations of the Insight function so the team can move faster, work smarter and focus on high‑value insight and strategy.
You will lead the AI enablement agenda for the Insight team (where and how AI supports our work), own core team operations (budget, suppliers and team cadences), and run research operations (tools, governance, compliance and recruitment). By combining strong operations skills with technical curiosity and a service mindset, you will increase the speed, quality and strategic impact of the Insights team while ensuring responsible, compliant and cost‑effective delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and maintain the AI roadmap for the Insight team, focusing on clear, high‑value use cases across the insight lifecycle (briefing, analysis, reporting, activation, knowledge management).
- Plan and run AI pilots (e.g. summarisation, coding, assistive authoring, knowledge search) with defined success criteria, turning proven pilots into standard workflows.
- Own a concise AI playbook covering workflows, prompts, templates and guardrails, including when work should be human‑only vs human‑in‑the‑loop.
- Partner with Legal, Privacy, InfoSec and central AI teams to ensure responsible AI use in line with Gen policies.
- Maintain the inventory of research tools and platforms (survey, UX testing, panels, repositories, dashboards), including owners, contracts and purpose, and recommend standardisation or upgrades where helpful.
- Ensure research tools and practices are GDPR‑compliant and aligned to Gen’s privacy and data protection requirements; keep core consent and data‑handling guidance up to date.
- Oversee respondent recruitment processes (external panels, customer samples, in‑product intercepts) with agencies and internal partners, monitoring response rates, cost and participant experience.
- Create and maintain lean operations templates and checklists (e.g. consent language, incentives, screeners, data‑handling steps) and use automation/AI where appropriate to remove manual, repeatable tasks.
- Support annual planning and in‑year tracking of insight budgets (agencies, panels, tools, training), and manage key renewals, POs and value checks for core suppliers.
- Coordinate the team rhythm – meetings, all hands, show‑and‑tells, training and offsites – with clear objectives, agendas, notes and follow‑ups stored in the right places (e.g. SharePoint, Stravito, Teams/Slack).
- Maintain and evolve core ways of working (intake/briefing, workstack tracking, debrief templates, documentation) and stakeholder guidance on how to work with the Insight team.
