In your work, you will be interacting with all business units and business functions across the Consumer Solutions division.



What is in it for you?

- This is an opportunity to be part of - and help accelerate - a transformation within one of Europe´s largest energy retail companies, where new customer offerings and service innovation will play in instrumental role. Your contribution to the projects’ work will be vital, and highly valued!

- The role provides a great opportunity to spread the gospel of systematic innovation methodology, and be part of celebrating the results with the different teams

- Help different leadership teams translate their strategy into required exploration initiatives, to define clear project mandates, and to set up (and allocate resources to) cross-functional teams addressing the exploration tasks

- Support business exploration team leaders in work planning and team kickoffs, and thereafter help the teams run through their iterations, sometimes by providing advice and tools from the toolbox, sometimes facilitating workshops, sometimes by acting as an embedded agile business exploration coach within the teams
