    Oxford Languages, a department of Oxford University Press, is the world’s leading dictionary publisher as well as being at the forefront of language technology innovations. Oxford Languages delivers a range of language data products and services in over 50 languages, including bespoke lexical datasets, self-service APIs, and our flagship Oxford English Dictionary (OED).

    Our partnerships with leading academic institutions, enterprising start-ups, and technology giants have embedded this content at the cutting-edge of language research and global communications. Oxford Languages content powers assistive technology products, word games, and “back-end” (non-display) purposes such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning.

    About the role

    The purpose of the role is to support creation of rigorously validated business cases by providing analysis of market opportunity, customer requirements, and delivery options. This will enable Oxford Languages to power innovation in new market sectors through faster and more confident customer-focused decision-making. You will develop evidence-based solutions and proposals across a range of products and use cases, incorporating inputs such as sales data, customer engagement, market analysis, and knowledge of technical environments, in order that key business objectives are met.
