About the role:

BSI is expanding investment in Innovation, both in terms of enabling and futureproofing existing key BSI business solutions, as well as radical innovation and new solutions that extend trust, resilience, and sustainability. BSI is seeking multiple innovation business partners across several BSI business streams - who will drive and integrate innovation solutions within those streams.

These partners will enable the deployment of client-facing Innovation solutions and improvements that will enhance the future strategy of each stream through the development of new revenue opportunities and other value. These solutions will typically leverage emerging technologies and other approaches and improvements enabled by the broader BSI innovation function and ecosystem. The initiatives will typically involve close collaboration with internal BSI stakeholders and external technology partners.

Lead understanding of how targeted BSI innovation solutions and related emerging technology can be brought to bear to support new client-facing solutions and improvements within that stream.
