- Activate and coordinate existing internal networks to capture early signals from regions, business units, and experts.
- Manage the flow of opportunities in the digital ventures pipeline, ensuring clear prioritization and stage-gating toward commercial relevance.
- Screen startups for maturity, traction, strategic fit, and valuation indicators, engaging experts for deeper technical or financial checks.
- Keep a sharp radar on priority themes, emerging domains, and key ecosystem players.
- Create short, actionable briefs highlighting opportunity spaces, potential disruptions, and valuation insights.
- Deliver high-level market and competitive intelligence to guide build/buy/partner decisions and early venture exploration.
- Work closely with the wider Digital Ventures and Innovation team to align market insights with venture shaping and feasibility assessments.
- Present synthesized insights to senior stakeholders in a clear, actionable format.
- Support Digital Trust marketing with content, messaging, and positioning to ensure SGS stands out in key themes.
Essential Experience:
- Advanced degree in business, innovation, technology management, analytics, or a related field bridging tech and economics.
- Strong track record in startup ecosystems, corporate innovation, strategy, or technology/market intelligence — with proven ability to deliver results in these areas.
- Demonstrated skill in interpreting emerging tech trends and turning market signals into actionable insights.
- Experience managing scouting pipelines or opportunity funnels, including early-stage screening and understanding of valuation indicators (funding stages, traction metrics, benchmarks).
- Exceptional analytical and synthesis skills — able to distill complex market, regulatory, and ecosystem data into clear insights.
- Excellent communication and presentation abilities, with experience influencing senior stakeholders.
- High curiosity, adaptability, and collaborative mindset for working across global teams.
Desirable Skills:
- Familiarity with market intelligence tools, startup databases, and trend-tracking platforms.
- Ability to assess startup maturity and relevance, from early innovators to commercially established players.
- Strong storytelling skills for shaping strategic narratives around opportunities and risks.
- Comfort with ambiguity and fast-changing technologies and markets.
