OCLC
Dublin, Ohio
For more than four decades, OCLC has conducted rigorous independent research, provided shared technology services, and community programs for its over 17,900 member institutions in 123 countries as well as the library community at large. As a nonprofit, member-driven library community, OCLC is a global leader in making information more accessible and more useful. It invests in original community-facing research and programs like the OCLC Research Library Partnership (RLP) and WebJunction which have a record of thought leadership, fostering collaborative problem-solving, and supporting professional development in key areas, equipping libraries to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing environment.
OCLC is hiring a Director of Research Insights to lead its externally focused research initiatives and shape thought leadership on the future of libraries and librarianship. Reporting to the Executive Director of Research and Programming, this leader will oversee a team of seven, including research scientists, and engineers—and collaborate closely with other leaders and research & programming team and cross-functional partners in Marketing and Global Product Management. The Director will help align research priorities, drive outreach and engagement, and deliver timely insights that reflect the evolving needs of libraries worldwide. The Director should bring a fresh perspective and technology expertise that will directly benefit the communities served by libraries.
