• Drive smooth roll-out, set-up, and steady-state delivery of new competitive intelligence and analytical service lines.

Client Management & Escalation Handling

• Act as a primary point of contact for assigned clients, managing expectations on scope, timelines, and deliverable quality.

Reporting & Performance Management

• Design and maintain internal and external dashboards/reports tracking delivery metrics, SLA performance, quality, and productivity.

• Use AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude hands-on to generate, validate, and package insights and analysis for client delivery.
• Identify and implement opportunities to automate repetitive research, data-processing, and reporting tasks, reducing manual effort and turnaround time.
• Build and refine prompts, templates, and lightweight AI-enabled workflows that let the team run day-to-day operations with minimal manual intervention.
• Evaluate and recommend the right AI tool/approach for a given task based on accuracy, cost, and data-privacy considerations.

Process Design & Continuous Improvement

• Design, document, and deploy standard operating procedures (SOPs) and quality checks to ensure error-free, consistent delivery.
• Apply systems thinking to identify process gaps, redundancies, and single points of failure across the delivery workflow.
