Pursue your passion. Join PMI.
How You’ll Make a Difference
You will support PMI’s research agenda across two complementary areas, with responsibilities balanced between hands-on insights research — survey, qualitative, and secondary studies that inform thought leadership — as well as business analysis and foresight research that connects macroeconomic, industry, and technology developments to PMI’s thought leadership priorities. The role carries a particular, though not exclusive, emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI) and the future of work. Working in coordination with the Manager, Research & Insights, you will help ensure PMI’s thought leadership is evidence-led, forward-looking, and aligned to business priorities.

- Experience researching, analyzing, or advising on AI trends, technology disruption, or the future of work.
- Demonstrated experience leading trends, foresight, or macroeconomic research initiatives independently.
- Experience translating research into executive-facing insights, narratives, and strategic recommendations.
