Job summary

Mintel, a world-leading market intelligence agency, seeks a senior individual-contributor to shape integration experiences for client ecosystems. You will define what Mintel delivers from the client’s perspective, ensuring trustable and usable data that aligns with customer workflows.

You will collaborate with Data Product and Engineering to translate client evidence into roadmaps and practical improvements, while guiding commercial teams with real-use cases and scenarios.

Qualifications

• This role combines client discovery, product thinking, information design and technical fluency.

Responsibilities

• Understand clients and what they are really trying to achieve.
• Take a consultative approach: run client discovery, observe workflows, and dig past the requested feature to the outcome behind it.
• Understand how clients combine Mintel with their own and third-party data, and where their systems and processes get in the way.
• Decide what we standardise and what we tailor: find the patterns that work for many clients and recognise when an individual client genuinely needs something different.
• Build a library of real use cases, case studies and representative client scenarios that shapes product decisions and equips our commercial teams.
• Own the integration-facing contract, in partnership with Data Product: what we expose, what it is called, how it is described and what each element carries, so that whatever a client's system composes is clear, traceable and valuable.
• Set the standard for a good integration experience and review new Mintel capabilities against it, so integration is part of discovery rather than an afterthought.
• Collaborate closely with Data Product and Engineering to turn client evidence into the roadmap and into real improvements, not just recommendations.
• Test how Mintel capabilities actually appear and perform in representative client environments, before and after every change.
• Watch what assistants and systems actually call, where they fail and where they fall silent, and keep a set of real client questions to run against every change.
• Give clients practical guidance and examples when they are still shaping their integration approach, without designing or building their specific system.
• Help Sales and Account Management understand the shift from websites to integrations: what is possible, what is not, and which delivery route fits which need.
• Contribute to Mintel's thought leadership on integration experiences.
