The position

On behalf of one of our clients we are looking to get in touch with an Innovation Lead “new currencies”. In this role you will explore new business models for the organisation based on the Smart City theme

Although having launched various successful digital initiatives, the organisation now wants to accelerate their digital transformation. To do so, the they have defined high-level key topics in which they want to innovate and that can ultimately be incorporated in their existing business or that can be launched outside of the current operations. Typically, our work takes place in the Third and Fourth wave of innovation. The innovation hub has been placed outside of the “business as usual” and can thus act independently and unbiased in a large corporate setting.

As surprising as it is, we will have to pay the costs if we want to keep our preferred brand of toothpaste private. For better or worse, for the bigger tech companies, we the consumers are just piles of data. How will you change this approach and give back privacy to the customer? Can you make these corporates pay the consumer to share his or her data? Or even to let them pay to communicate directly with high-targeted individuals?

Tasks & responsibilities

You will explore and launch a multitude of new ventures with teams that you build yourself. In general, you will run 30 – 40 different projects simultaneously in different stages of their inception. Your goal is to grow one or two of your initiatives into the start-up phase.

Next to these innovations you will be helping the current business stakeholders with their very difficult “new currencies” subjects. You will advise them on how to best make use of technology and people to become successful.

Candidate profile

  • You are recognised as a Thought Leader in the “new currencies” field
  • Having worked in both a corporate and a scale-up/start-up environment
  • Very strong stakeholder management skills on C-level in combination with being able to lead teams on the topic
  • Proven experience experimenting with new initiatives
  • A strong network in the for example blockchain domain including vendors, universities, etc.
  • Having launched new initiatives
  • A can-do mentality; not afraid of launching or stopping projects

The offer

  • The chance to work with some of the smartest minds on strategic initiatives
  • The ability to make a real impact by launching new, feasible initiatives
  • Freedom to try and experiment; failing is an option but do it quickly
  • The possibility to form your own high-performing teams
  • An excellent salary ranging between € 150.000 - € 165.000 on a yearly basis and an excellent package such as a car and pension scheme
