This lead management role for Innovation Acceleration and Scale-up is responsible for leading the team of technical developers for scale-up projects, leading the planning for the portfolio, and providing coordination and project management for POCs and MVPs that may move beyond the innovation process to production, product scale-up or commercialization.
The Innovation Acceleration team supports the innovation process from a technical standpoint and develops tools, techniques and best practices for accelerating the work within the Propulsion Lab and the Retail COE as well as work to transition and scale POCs and MVPs from the innovation stage to production. Like all teams within Innovation, this team collaborates across many areas and provides influence through thought leadership, experimental results and best practices.
Although Innovation draws from the same principles as Product Development, there are distinct differences. We focus on accelerated experimentation, understanding the depths of problems and associated value-driven solutions, and we iteratively develop and grow POCs up to the MVP.
The Propulsion Lab is the technology innovation arm at RBS. Our mission is to drive innovative thinking and behavior as we EXPLORE in-store problems, DESIGN solutions, EXPERIMENT with technology and ALIGN our work to value. We are working towards a vision of the Store of the Future, as we experiment around horizons 2 and 3 of innovation that connect to that vision. Like a startup accelerator within a corporation, the Propulsion Lab helps bring these ideas to life.
What We Offer: 5 Bullets (HR Use Only)
