TEAM LEWIS is building something new — and we need someone who sees it before anyone else does.

The Insights Lead is an evolved research leader: part analyst, part futurist, part intelligence architect. This is not a traditional research role or a traditional strategy role. We're not looking for someone who runs surveys and builds decks. We're looking for a trend and theme seer — someone who is genuinely excited about the intersection of human behavior, category trends and emerging AI capabilities, and who understands that the future of insights is synthetic, predictive, and always-on.

You will build and steward TEAM LEWIS's Global Intelligence Hub — a connected intelligence infrastructure that gives our teams (and maybe clients!) real-time access to category signals, buyer behavior shifts, cultural momentum, and competitive landscape evolution. Working in close collaboration with our AI development team, you'll help make insights available at our fingertips.

This role sits within the Brand Strategy practice and serves as a critical enabler of creative excellence and strategic growth across the agency.

What You'll Do

Build an Intelligence Hub

• Architect and lead a centralized, always-on platform for category, audience, buyer, and cultural intelligence

• Partner with our AI development team to define what intelligence we need and how it's surfaced. You bring the insight instincts; they bring the technical build

• Evaluate and manage the agency's research tool stack across trend monitoring, social listening, and AI-assisted research

See What's Coming

• Synthesize signals across categories, cultures, buyer behaviors, and competitive landscapes to produce forward-looking intelligence. Not what happened, but what's next

• Leverage AI-assisted tools and synthetic data inputs to conduct research at scale, without the constraints of traditional methods

• Develop proprietary TEAM LEWIS trend narratives that fuel thought leadership, strategy, and new business
