The role develops an insights agenda grounded in client needs and market disruption, partners with internal product/coverage leaders and external institutions, and converts research into high-impact content, events, and executive communications that drive measurable commercial outcomes.

You will engage with multiple internal stakeholders within and supporting Transaction Banking including product teams (payments, liquidity, channels), origination/coverage, marketing/communications, risk/legal/compliance, and senior executives. You will also engage external partners such as industry bodies, academia, and key client audiences.

• Market and competition research & monitoring

• Identify research questions; partner with internal experts and/or researchers to produce credible analysis and narratives.
• Build and maintain a structured “capability map” that compares competitor, as well as “battlecards” for priority solutions.
• Synthesize findings into clear recommendations and implementation implications for clients and internal strategy leaders. 

• Content creation & storytelling

• Produce and oversee a portfolio of deliverables: reports, executive briefs, POVs, articles, white papers, scripts, webinars, podcasts, and conference materials.
• Lead external-facing programs: roundtables, industry conferences, webinars, and client events, partnering with product teams and coverage leaders. 
• Ensure content is on-brand, evidence-based, and differentiated (POV + data + “so what” for clients) across multiple lines of business (LOBs).
• Contribute to RFP/RFI responses across multiple LOBs for both existing and emerging products and solutions.

• Executive communications & internal enablement

• Create executive-ready artifacts for steering committees and senior leadership updates; support strategic planning cycles with insight inputs. 
• Equip coverage teams with talk tracks, FAQs, and client-ready summaries to improve consistency and impact.
