**Description**
**The opportunity**:
We are seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Innovation Manager to lead the business unit innovation activities.
This role involves overseeing all BU innovation programs, seeking out innovative solutions, and building relationships with startups, universities, suppliers, and customers.

In this role you will be asked to challenge the BU to step outside of the comfort zone, reframe the organization thinking and collaborate effectively to champion innovation at all levels within Transformers and across Hitachi Energy. Together with the other BU stakeholders, you will be requested to capture innovation ideas, inputs and challenges from the market and ideally learn from across various industries in order to gradually adopt/incorporate a new versatile problem-solving mindset as well as any innovation (be it incremental or disruptive) within Transformers with the simple objective of solidifying our technology leadership in the years to come.

- Aggressive mining of scientific literature and patent databases.
- Coordinate with Legal functions while managing and securing Intellectual Property.
- Managing and mentoring a cross-business team of innovators, providing guidance and support to help them develop and achieve their full potential.
**Your Background**:
- MSc and Industry background.
- At least 5 years of proven experience in innovation management, preferably within a similar industry, in a global corporation.
- Strong understanding of innovation processes and methodologies.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Experience in transformer, high voltage or energy industry will be highly valued.
