The role of the Innovation department is to implement technological solutions to solve existing business problems. You help stakeholders to refine expressed needs to define projects and success criteria. When you find a solution that can address a business problem, you carry out a proof of concept together with the business stakeholders you're are managing and, based on its success, launch the industrialization of the solution, which is then taken over by another department. Solutions may be software or technology provided by internal departments (software development, machine learning, AI, IoT, etc.), or from external vendors such as startups or established vendors, sometimes via a tendering process.

You will be required to interact continuously with the Innovation Portfolio Managers / SPOCs (Single Points of Contact) who orchestrate the overall innovation roadmap and strategic stakeholder alignment per core business domain.
