About Euromonitor
Euromonitor International leads the world in data analytics and research into markets, industries, economies and consumers. We provide truly global insight and data on thousands of products and services; we are the first destination for organisations seeking growth. With our guidance, our clients can make bold, strategic decisions with confidence.
Overview of the role
Passport, Euromonitor’s flagship platform, has just been rebuilt from the ground up. It is the largest technology investment in the company’s history, and AI now sits at the core of the system.
Euromonitor is establishing an AI and Data Science team in India to lead this work. The remit is a framework driven, platform centric approach to engineering AI and Data Science capability into Passport and other customer offerings, including new products built on AI and agentic flows.
Based in Bengaluru and reporting to the VP & Global Head of Engineering, this is a leadership role for the function in India. It suits a technology leader with a strong software engineering background and proven expertise applying AI and Data Science through platforms and frameworks. That expertise should translate into delivering stronger products and business opportunities that are AI driven. The role also calls for a track record of building and scaling teams from the ground up, experience working across a geographically diverse, global organisation, and the ability to quickly understand emerging technologies and incorporate them into products that amplify business outcomes.
