About The Role

The GE practice is building a dedicated Thought Leadership & Research function, modelled on the internal think tanks of the world's leading consulting firms. As Research Lead, you are the intellectual engine of this function. You won't be rotating across client engagements. You will go deep: spending months on a focused research agenda, developing original frameworks and methodologies that the GE practice can deploy with clients, and producing work that is credible enough to be published, cited, and recognised in the GCC ecosystem.

This role sits at the intersection of rigorous research and practical consulting impact. You will work closely with a rotating bench of consultants who bring ground-level client context, and with senior GE leadership who will channel your outputs into the practice's go-to-market, advisory, and capability agenda.

*Zinnov isn't for everyone, and this role especially isn't. It's for someone who thrives on intellectual ownership, is energised by building something current, and wants their ideas to shape how the GCC market thinks.*

- Build original, named frameworks and diagnostic tools grounded in empirical evidence, synthesising primary research, practitioner interviews, datasets, and literature into outputs that stand independently of any single engagement
- Develop a structured, evolving point of view on signature topics over time, deepening expertise rather than breadth-hopping

Analysis & Synthesis
- Lead rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis: econometric modelling, survey design and analy
