Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present research findings and defend methodology to internal and external stakeholders. Additional Preferred Qualifications: Strong understanding of automotive supply chain structures and/or procurement processes (supplier tiers, sourcing, localization, capacity constraints, and operational risk concepts). Domain expertise in Electronics & Semiconductor Systems, Powertrain & Chassis Systems, or Interior & Cabin Systems. Experience partnering with technical teams to operationalise research outputs into scalable datasets. Background in supplier discovery/validation using a mix of primary/secondary research (e.g., interviews, industry publications, trade data, corporate filings, customs/shipping signals).

About the Role: Grade Level (for internal use): 11 The Team: We are seeking an experienced Research Manager to lead a global team of research analysts responsible for identifying and validating supply chain relationships across the automotive ecosystem. This role will set the research direction, strengthen methodologies, and ensure consistent, high-quality outputs across for the Procurement Intelligence research team. You will join a talented and intellectually curious team of analysts working creatively to build objective insights that automotive procurement and risk stakeholders rely on. S&P Global has recently announced the intent to separate our Mobility Segment into a standalone public company. For more information, visit Responsibilities and Impact: Define and execute the research approach and methodologies used to identify and validate suppliers and supply chain relationships across the automotive ecosystem. Lead and develop a distributed team of research analysts across multiple time zones, setting priorities, managing workloads, and ensuring timely delivery against SLAs and project timelines. Establish research best practices (source triangulation, confidence scoring, documentation standards, audit trails, and escalation paths) to ensure consistency, repeatability, and defensibility of outputs. Guide analysts on data sources and collection strategies, including how to select, evaluate, and triangulate sources to validate supplier relationships and trading activity. Implement quality assurance (QA) and continuous improvement, including regular calibration sessions, spot checks, root cause reviews of defects, and coaching to reduce rework and improve accuracy over time. Collaborate cross functionally with operations, product/development, and commercial teams to align research outputs with platform requirements, client needs, and go to market messaging. Identify new research opportunities that expand coverage and support business growth. Support customer facing engagements as needed, including methodology discussions, research readouts, and responding to client inquiries regarding data provenance and validation logic. What We're Looking For: Basic Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Supply Chain Management or a related field. 5+ years of experience in research management, competitive intelligence, supply chain research, or a related role-preferably tied to automotive or global supply chains. Proven experience managing distributed teams (multiple time zones), including performance management, coaching, and operational execution. Demonstrated ability to design research methods and translate ambiguous questions into structured workflows, measurable outputs, and clear analyst instructions. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present research findings and defend methodology to internal and external stakeholders. Additional Preferred Qualifications: Strong understanding of automotive supply chain structures and/or procurement processes (supplier tiers, sourcing, localization, capacity constraints, and operational risk concepts). Domain expertise in Electronics & Semiconductor Systems, Powertrain & Chassis Systems, or Interior & Cabin Systems. Experience partnering with technical teams to operationalise research outputs into scalable datasets. Background in supplier discovery/validation using a mix of primary/secondary research (e.g., interviews, industry publications, trade data, corporate filings, customs/shipping signals). Experience building or managing quality programs (QA frameworks, rubrics, confidence scoring, SOPs, training curricula). Track record of publishing research (reports, briefings, client deliverables) or presenting insights to procurement, supply chain, risk, or executive audiences. Familiarity with global trade and compliance concepts relevant to automotive sourcing (e.g., sanctions/export controls exposure, country of origin considerations, forced labor screening workflows).
