Purpose of the role

The internal application of generative AI (Gen AI) within our core Research and Consulting operations will be pivotal to our ability to optimise and interpret sources, accelerate the production of deliverables and augment our collective human intelligence.

Gen AI clearly has a huge potential for our industry and our business, but the successful implementation required to deliver on that potential requires focus, partnership, planning and communication.

Across the business, we have a wealth of research knowledge, technical skills, and interest in AI that we need to harness in a thoughtful and coordinated way. To that end, the Director of Gen AI will continue to lead the commercial application and integration of generative AI into Passport and our other client-facing platforms. Our Enterprise Technology function will focus on driving broader AI adoption across business-wide applications such as Microsoft Copilot. This structure allows for a clear focus on Research and Consulting-specific AI objectives—those that drive innovation and efficiency from within—under the leadership of a newly appointed 'Head of Research AI'.

The Head of Research AI will report to the Director of Gen AI and work closely with Enterprise Technology, Data Science, and other departments to ensure maximum impact and minimum duplication of efforts. This collaborative approach will enable us to leverage our collective expertise while maintaining alignment with our overall AI strategy.

Description

We are looking for a results focused leader to convert the potential we know Gen AI has into new processes and innovative tools that make a measurable difference to how our Research and Consulting teams work. In this pivotal role, you will drive the development and implementation of novel Gen AI applications through a group of dedicated Project Managers and work with Data Science and Technology stakeholders to ensure optimal delivery.

Our Research and Consulting teams are your customers and your ability to marry successful technical implementation with proactive communication and stakeholder management is arguably as important as the Gen AI application itself.

• Develop a framework for evaluating ideas and initiatives, determining resource allocation based on value and scalability, and applying this framework across all or part of the research team’s activities.
• Utilise this framework to assess the value of building in-house solutions versus buying external ones.
• Secure executive buy-in and allocate resources effectively to ensure successful execution of the Research and Consulting agendas.

Team Management:

• Inspire a high-performing team of Gen AI Project Managers, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.
• Empower and mentor your team, providing clear direction, setting ambitious goals, and fostering a supportive environment for growth.

Communication & Change Management:

• Champion change management initiatives to ensure successful adoption of Gen AI solutions within the organisation, addressing potential concerns and fostering a culture of innovation.
• Communicate and advocate for the potential of AI, while also providing clear guidance on its limitations and most effective applications.
• Foster strong relationships with internal teams across the organisation, including Research, Consulting, Data Science, Technology and Enterprise Systems.
• Develop compelling presentations and reports to showcase the value proposition of Gen AI research and secure ongoing support from leadership.

Skills & Experience

• Proven track record of leading and managing research or project management teams, demonstrably delivering successful outcomes.
• In-depth knowledge and understanding of market intelligence principles and practices, with a passion for leveraging AI to enhance insights generation.
• A strong passion for innovation and a demonstrably positive impact through the application of Gen AI.
