Market Research & Intelligence Manager - APAC

About the Role

The Market Research & Competitive Intelligence Manager will independently lead high-impact qualitative and quantitative market research and competitive intelligence initiatives that inform critical business decisions.

The Market Research & Intelligence (MR&I) team is a strategic thought partner that helps the business make smarter, faster decisions by translating customer, market, competitor, industry, and broader external signals into clear insights, strategic direction, risk awareness, and growth opportunities. The team combines primary market research, competitive and market intelligence, and AI-enabled research capabilities to help Resmed anticipate change, reduce uncertainty, and maintain a competitive advantage in a dynamic global market.

What You’ll do

As a Market Research & Competitive Intelligence Manager, you will partner with cross-functional leaders to translate business questions into rigorous research and intelligence approaches, synthesize evidence from multiple sources, and shape clear, objective recommendations for different stakeholders and business needs.

The role requires integrating insights across consumers, patients, physicians and other healthcare professionals, payers, customers, competitors, partners, and broader market forces. You will monitor current and emerging developments, connect disparate signals, distinguish meaningful change from market noise, and develop a well-supported point of view on what is changing, why it matters to Resmed, what remains uncertain, and what the business should consider next.

The ideal candidate combines deep market research expertise, strong investigative instincts, strategic business acumen, executive communication skills, and an experimental mindset toward AI and automation. The role will primarily support APAC - with emphasis on China and Japan and secondary support for Australia - while contributing to global MR&I priorities.
