Our take: The real work here is developing research leaders and stitching scattered customer insight into a strategy that senior stakeholders across a large banking org will actually act on.

If you love growing other research leaders as much as the research itself, this role hands you a whole product area and a team of managers to develop. You will spend your days weaving scattered customer insights into one strategic story, then carrying it into rooms where directors decide what gets built. It is heavy on diplomacy and alignment across teams with competing priorities, and it rewards the person who finds that genuinely satisfying rather than exhausting.
