The mandate extends beyond leading research to influencing how Honest operates by integrating consumer understanding, marketplace dynamics, and commercial performance across the enterprise.  

Accountabilities

• Shape Growth: strategy, investment, innovation, portfolio, and M&A

• Anticipate Future Demand: Lead the organization’s evolution from reactive tracking to predictive forecasting. Use advanced analytics, AI, and behavioral data to identify emerging consumer behaviors, market shifts, and competitive disruption before they impact the business.
• Provide New Category Entry and Innovation Support: Deliver consumer-demand validation and market sizing to evaluate potential category entries, strategic partnerships, and internal growth projects.
• Steward Enterprise Consumer & Market Intelligence: Partner with Sales, Category Management, Finance, IT, Procurement, and Data Engineering to govern the company’s syndicated data ecosystem (e.g., Circana, Numerator). Integrate disparate data sources (behavioral, transactional, and attitudinal) into a unified enterprise asset. Translate in-market performance into objective business narratives by connecting what is happening with why it is happening.
• Build Enduring Competitive Advantage: Develop proprietary consumer and market intelligence (demand spaces, behavioral frameworks, segmentation, growth models) built to function as lasting enterprise decision systems.
• Monitor Brand Health: Track Honest's brand equity, trust, and consumer perception over time (awareness, loyalty, sentiment, and NPS), flagging shifts early so the executive team can respond before they show up in sales.
• Foster an Organizational Consumer-Centric Mindset: Embed consumer-centered thinking across Marketing, Sales, Product, R&D, Finance, Strategy, and executive leadership, turning consumer understanding into a company-wide competitive capability.
• Lead and Develop Talent: Build and mentor a high-performing team, fostering a culture of curiosity and commercial acumen.
