The Role

Zero100 is looking for a full-time Vice President of Research and Advisory Services to contribute to the Zero100 research agenda, identifying and developing future-facing digital themes for the supply chain industry.

Successful applicants have experience working in or researching supply chains and generating new ideas to practitioners. These experiences have formed a knowledge base and skills capability that can be used to identify and curate perspectives and content that supply chain executives (COOs/CSCOs/CIOs and their teams) will find relevant and timely.

You are naturally curious, ask insightful questions, successfully distill complex content into bite‑sized segments, love working with customers, and dive into ambiguous areas comfortably. You are a strong communicator and don’t shy away from controversial positions. You enjoy translating customer questions and problems to solve into simple frameworks and guides to action that help drive faster decisions and outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Develop Research Content, including:
• Identifying audacious digital trends and disruptors for the supply chain industry
• Developing thought leadership content including written research, podcasts, explainer videos, and compact perspective pieces
• Sharing your thought leadership and research by speaking at Zero100 events, industry forums, and with media
• Conducting interviews with customers, stakeholders, and industry thought leaders to understand and synthesize the digital or decarbonization landscape to inform content
• Working closely with Zero100 teams to execute on live events
• Hosting, facilitating, and moderating virtual and conference events
• Working with customers to explore their key priorities and host advisory calls to help them make progress on initiatives
• Interface with the customer engagement team to ensure continuing utilization of service by our customers
• Identifying themes across customers to inform the Zero100 Research agenda and conference programs
• 15+ years experience either within supply chain or as a consultant, industry analyst, or academic working on supply chain, AI, or tech implementations
• Speaking experience including presentations, brainstorming, and debate
• Exceptional communication with strong writing, speaking and interpersonal skills
• Strong attention to detail with exceptional project management, time management and multitasking skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively with colleagues across teams and externally with partners and customers outside of Zero100
• An ambitious, creative personality, with a can‑do attitude
• Data analytics experience, Industrial/Energy experience, Technical-Operations experience and/or APAC experience is a strong bonus

Benefits

• Competitive salary and bonus scheme
• Unlimited holidays
• Private healthcare & Life Insurance
• Enhanced pension
• Enhanced Parental Leave Policy
• Custom designed offices in central London with free breakfasts & snacks
