What will I be doing?
* Support the Senior Manager in managing the CIX Team's Horizon Scanning content, identifying and translating emerging consumer trends into actionable insights that are relevant and meaningful within the organisational context.
* Work with the Senior Insight Manager and CIX colleagues to implement processes to organise, synthesise, and disseminate consumer data and research findings across MFE, enabling data-driven decision-making and strengthening organisational understanding of audiences.
* Assist with the design and management of a programme of test AI use cases for the CIX Team with a focus on insight synthesis and efficiency
* Manage the development, maintenance and promotion of the Insight Hub (SharePoint) as the central repository for insight, ensuring it is engaging, user-friendly, and enhanced through new technologies such as AI tools.
* Support and promote insight communication, contributing to internal insight communications (e.g. the Data Times newsletter) to embed a culture of data-led decision-making.
* Manage external insight tools and partnerships (e.g. TGI, Foresight Factory), ensuring effective use of data to enhance understanding of consumers and markets.
What are we looking for?
* An outward-looking and curious approach, with the ability to monitor and interpret external trends, research, and market intelligence to assess their potential impact on Cancer Research UK.

* Understanding of AI and automation tools for knowledge synthesis, search, and content management, or a strong appetite to learn and apply these technologies in practical ways.
* Knowledge management expertise, including experience designing or maintaining digital knowledge platforms (e.g. SharePoint) and developing processes or governance frameworks for managing information and insight.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrable passion for storytelling and a creative approach to communicating insight in engaging, accessible, and visually appealing ways.
