• Identify repetitive analytical work and design AI-enabled solutions that improve efficiency and scalability.
• Coordinate AI-assisted research processes across sectors and verticals.
• Design each workstream to run on AI-enabled pipelines, returning time to authorship and client-facing work.

• Design and maintain the MLA collection, coordinate broker responses nationally, execute follow-ups, and track market deals for IPS lead generation.

• Develop presentation decks and Journey materials that translate strategy discussions into polished internal and external communications.
• Support IPS pursuits and accounts by coordinating deliverables and calls with Research, business development leads, and IPS account managers, and by building the supporting dashboards and Excel models.

• Map client supply chains, including hubs, nodes, and distribution centers, and produce industry-specific visualizations to support site selection.
• Coordinate industry calls across Retail, 3PL, CPG, Food and Beverage, and Advanced Manufacturing, owning agendas, notes, action items, and follow-ups.
• Build target account lists by vertical, map coverage across IPS, EPS, and REMS, and identify cross-sell opportunities.
• Partner with Research on emerging market and economic trends, and translate those insights into pitch content.
• Maintain the intelligence repository and executive summaries that make sector knowledge accessible across the platform.

• Serve as the connection point between the Industrial platform and Research, Sales Enablement, JLLT, and Operations.
• Direct support teams to optimize the tools, data sources, and reporting that serve the Industrial platform.
