  • Design and facilitate strategic workshops to embed foresight methodologies across the organization
  • Translate complex future scenarios into actionable product development roadmaps
  • Present findings to stakeholders through compelling visual narratives and data-driven storytelling

Qualifications

  • Advanced degree in Futures Studies, Strategic Foresight, Innovation Management, or related field
  • Minimum 8 years in strategic planning, innovation consulting, or futurist role
  • Proven expertise in scenario planning, trend analysis, and horizon scanning methodologies
  • Strong quantitative and qualitative research skills with data visualization proficiency
  • Experience leading enterprise-level innovation initiatives from concept to execution
