<p><span data-contrast="auto">Mintel is the world’s leading market intelligence agency. Increasingly, our clients don’t come to Mintel; Mintel goes to them. They use our research and data inside their own systems — through AI assistants and agents, APIs, data feeds, dashboards and internal research tools — and combine it with their own business data and third-party data. Clients who work this way stay with us longer and get more from us, and the integrations that make it possible are already live.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":0,"335551620":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":300}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This is the next frontier for Mintel, and we are hiring someone to make it excellent. You will understand how clients integrate Mintel into their own ecosystems and make sure what we deliver doesn’t just work, but fits the way they actually work: from the question a client asks in their own tool, through what Mintel returns, to what they do with the answer next. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":0,"335551620":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":300}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This is not a traditional product or UX role. Mintel does not own the end user experience in an integration; our clients do. What we own is what we send: how our content, data and capabilities are structured, described and delivered so they are usable, trustworthy and recognisably Mintel in environments we don’t control.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":0,"335551620":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":300}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">A large part of your time will be spent with clients: understanding their workflows and what they are trying to achieve, seeing how Mintel actually shows up in their work, and removing the obstacles that stand between them and the value.
