The Team

A\&M's Insight Center is looking for a Senior Manager to join our growing team in New Delhi, India. This is a newly created role within the Insight Center Management Team, reporting into the Senior Director who leads the team globally from London.

You will manage a team of approximately six Research / Senior Research Analysts initially, all based in India (two of whom have already been recruited), and will play a central part in scaling our service offering and developing a more tailored synthesis capability alongside your teammates in the IC. You will also work in tandem with our Global Capability Center (GCC) where you will be based and with whom the IC already works closely.

The role demands strong multi-tasking across a wide range of research requests. You will help manage a global research pipeline, deliver and quality review work yourself while supervising your team to deliver on time and to a consistently high standard of quality. Because most projects are delivered collaboratively, you will shape how project teams are put together and how work is shared, so that Research Analysts and Senior Research Analysts work effectively together and with the wider IC. As a member of the IC Management Team, you will also work closely with fellow Senior Managers and the wider IC management team on team quality (including coaching and training), strategy and efforts to market the service.
