Job Summary
Maintain a live reading of global trends, weak signals, and emerging technologies to open untapped territories of opportunity. Own the Future Opportunity Radar methodology, translating insights into rigorous service proposals and actionable roadmaps. Lead multidisciplinary squads by gravity, directing strategic quality across foresight, user research, and product definition while partnering with commercial teams on pre-sales. Act as a trusted advisor to C-level clients, reframing their needs before they articulate them. Manage timelines and resources to ensure the vertical remains profitable.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in strategic design or innovation consulting
- Hybrid career path across the 3 disciplines of the vertical: foresight, user research, and product definition
- Structural curiosity: you don't just read trends, you decode them. You connect seemingly disconnected signals and build solid arguments.
- Authority without arrogance: you can hold your ground with a C-level client without needing to impose your view.
- Editorial mindset — you have your own voice and you use it.
- Operational discipline: you know that inspiration without delivery doesn't generate recurring business.
- Proven leadership in complex projects — activating, challenging and elevating the work of more junior strategists and researchers. Leadership by gravity, not by hierarchy.
- Fluent in English (written and spoken)
Desired Qualifications
- Ideally with time spent at a generalist player that gave you fluency in business language
- Spanish is a plus
