  • Demonstrable experience in building new client relationships, actively acquiring design projects, and collaborating with existing sales teams.
  • A track record in leading larger design programs, which have included the strategy, concept, design, and agile development of new digital products and services.
  • Strong skills in conceptualizing and communicating innovative ideas and strategic concepts, and translating them into concrete steps.
  • Passion for solving complex challenges through systemic and analytical thinking as well as a pragmatic design approach.
  • Strong interest in technological trends and their possibilities, as well as experience with technologies such as voice assistants, AI, AR/VR, and others.

You will be resilient and accustomed to working at a fast pace in a deadline-driven workplace, with:

  • A quality mindset – you can provide evidence of your interventions to ensure high-quality responses.
  • The ability to collaborate widely across an organization and influence stakeholders within the NTT DATA business.
