Continuous tracking enables you to grasp and react to the moments that matter. From understanding life changes to emerging global trends, IGI provides a rich, agile and actionable solution that enables you to convince hard-to-reach audiences on why they need your brand.

• Provide strategic guidance and oversight for existing syndicated offers (IGI, GameTrack, StatEx) ensuring their growth and product development in line with changing market needs
• Long-Term Roadmap: Develop and articulate a compelling long-term vision for the global syndicated business, ensuring all products align with the company's broader business objectives.
• New Product Development (NPD): Lead the end-to-end process of identifying, packaging, and monetizing new data-driven products to expand our market footprint.

Commercial Growth & P&L Influence

• Revenue Strategy: Partner with Global Commercial leads to manage and identify new clients to drive revenue growth across the portfolio.
• Matrix P&L Management: While not having direct P&L ownership, you will be responsible for the global commercial success of the products, influencing regional leaders to hit growth targets.

We are seeking someone with:

• Expertise in Syndicated Data: Required experience in media/advertising and a mastery of how syndicated datasets are utilized by the industry.
