Drive. Innovation. Your tasks In joint workshops with our business units, you identify key pain points and needs, defining the innovation requirements. You scout and evaluate innovative start-ups, technologies, and business models with high potential.

Based on results, you develop business cases and support their implementation within the organization. You build sustainable relationships with founders, VCs, and innovation networks, representing Venture Clienting internally and externally. You drive the topic of Venture Clienting within the group and set impulses for how we can accelerate innovation.

High level of initiative and innovation mindset, with the ability to work independently and reflect on your own performance. Skilled in managing diverse stakeholders, even in complex structures.
