What You’ll Do


As Director, Research, you will:


  • Lead and execute end-to-end strategic research projects — from scoping and hypothesis framing to analysis and synthesis of actionable insights.
  • Conduct deep-dive analyses on key venture themes such as AI in HR, payroll innovation, workforce analytics, and emerging HR Tech trends.
  • Build and maintain structured market landscapes, startup ecosystem maps, and competitive benchmarks that inform ADP’s strategic priorities.
  • Translate complex data and market signals into clear, compelling narratives and executive-level presentations.
  • Collaborate with Ventures leadership to identify and validate emerging investment and partnership opportunities globally.
  • Serve as a thought partner on thematic research and innovation trend monitoring.
  • Cover India’s HR Tech and Future of Work ecosystem (approx. 15% of role), including startup tracking, ecosystem engagement, and opportunity scouting.

This is not an investment role.

What We’re Looking For


  • 7–10 years of experience with a top-tier consulting strategy or investment banking team (e.g., GIR at Goldman Sachs/ Morgan Stanley, BCG, Bain, McKinsey) or in a comparable strategic insights role within a technology or investment organization.
  • Deep expertise in

    arket research, data-driven analysis, and executive storytelling.
  • Proven ability to translate research findings into strategic recommendations that drive business or investment outcomes.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; proficiency in PowerPoint, Excel, and structured synthesis.
  • Strong self-starter mindset with the ability to manage multiple priorities across global teams.
  • Genuine curiosity about

    s

    tartups, venture capital, emerging technologies, and the future of work.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree (MBA, Master’s in Strategy, Economics, or related field) preferred.

Why Join Us


  • Influence ADP Ventures’ global investment and innovation strategy through research-driven insights.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional leaders shaping ADP’s future through innovation and partnerships.
  • Work in a dynamic, high-impact environment that blends startup agility with enterprise scale.
