Does this sound like you? (or who you want to be?):
I’m an experienced innovation consultant working with major international clients running projects end to end, working with super smart people in the APAC region (and beyond).
I’m building really strong relationships with my current (and prospective) clients by being able to tune into their innovation challenges, respond creatively to them and by delivering ground-breaking work.
I love seeing my project teams learn and grow on the projects we deliver. It’s great to have this level of autonomy to leverage generative AI and a broad tech stack to deliver work that is exciting and fresh. In summary, since joining Board of Innovation I have been able to take all the knowledge and experience I had, harness my natural impatience and ‘learn by doing’ - I’m making rapid progress in my career, feeling ahead of the curve, and enjoying it a lot.
I’m proud of the work I’m delivering and the response I get externally - from Linkedin and blog posts - it’s good to be in a place that really values my point of view and helps me to hone it.
There’s a vibe here that is really working for me - organic more than structured, scrappy but in a way that’s polished and someone will always call me out if I’m over-thinking or getting purist rather than focusing on what the consumer needs and the client wants.

**Requirements**:
**What we’re looking for on your CV/resume**:

- Corporate innovation - innovation consultant, strategy consultant gigs
- Experience at C-level with multinational clients in APAC - in the room
- Upsell/cross-sell and deal initiation/closing of high value corporate innovation projects
- Project management and leadership

**If this feels kinda right, let us know**:
We’re currently looking to make this a reality for someone in the Summer/early Autumn*. Our hiring process is straight-forward.
First we will take a look at your resume - see above for some pointers.
We’ll invite you for an initial chat with someone from our People team to run through the basics.
Next so you can get the low down on the business/work/clients/vibe so choose someone** to have a real/virtual coffee and a chat.
If everyone feels good after that then there will be a case study for you to work through and some testing - we’ll share the results and give you feedback.
And the final step is a working session - you’ll meet a bunch of people and work through some real scenarios so we can all see if it feels right. It’s pretty intense but the people who enjoy it are the ones that will get a kick out of working with us.
- if that timing doesn’t fit for you - ping us a message anyway - we’re always up for a chat to see if there’s a fit (both ways) for some time in the future.

**yes, anyone - we’re all on LinkedIn
