The Senior Manager, Economic & Industry Insights, is a key contributor to the Economic & Industry Insights team, responsible for producing data-driven analysis, generating actionable insights, and contributing to thought leadership that serves both internal and external stakeholders. This role takes a holistic approach to measuring and interpreting the automotive ecosystem—connecting macroeconomic conditions, consumer behavior, and industry-specific trends to inform strategic business decisions across Cox Automotive.

The ideal candidate sits at the intersection of data science, economics, and automotive domain expertise, with a forward-leaning approach to leveraging artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. You will leverage large-scale proprietary and third-party datasets—augmented by AI-powered tools and workflows—to surface insights for the Chief Economist, internal business partners, and external audiences including media, OEMs, dealers, and industry analysts. You will produce analysis that translates complex data into compelling narratives, supporting Cox Automotive’s position as a trusted source of industry intelligence.

This includes connecting AI directly to production data environments to replicate, accelerate, and scale existing analytical workflows.

• Produce and deliver research reports, market commentaries, and presentations that translate complex analytical findings into concise, compelling narratives for diverse audiences.
• Represent Cox Automotive as a visible thought leader through recurring industry conference presentations, webinars, published articles, and direct media engagement. Serve as a credible, quotable voice on market trends for trade and national press.
• Monitor and interpret macroeconomic indicators, monetary policy developments, and consumer trends, connecting their implications to automotive market performance.
• Surface emerging trends, risks, and opportunities to the…
