The Professional Services Team
Helping organizations innovate isn’t always easy, but it is vital. Vital to creating new jobs. Vital to igniting growth. Vital to ensuring a safe, healthy and prosperous future of billions around the globe. Executives are seeing disruption everywhere they look and investing millions, but still have no idea where their “next big thing” will come from, or if it will come at all.
At Brightidea, we’ve built a platform that’s solving those problems.
Working for the Brightidea Professional Services team means you have the amazing opportunity to guide our customers all across the world in designing and executing their innovation efforts. You will be working side-by-side with clients from various industries building innovation business plans, aligning key stakeholders around a centralized innovation mission and vision and co-creating guiding documents that build a roadmap for transformational change through innovation. You will also be rolling up your sleeves and advising on best practices for a myriad of innovation initiatives like hackathons, pitch events, and challenges and seeing them through successful launches all the way to recording impact. As a member of our team, you’ll also contribute to strategic efforts to grow our services and department capabilities.
About the Role
Our Innovation Consultants are responsible for managing the delivery of strategy and implementation services on all types of Brightidea client engagements. The scope of these services, while based on best practices developed over hundreds of engagements, varies across clients and incorporates offerings such as:
- Program Planning and Development
- Community Engagement and Activation
- Initiative Planning, Management and Execution
- Workshop and Event Facilitation
- Culture Development and Change Management
- Social Collaborative Technologies and Adoption
- Innovation Strategy and Management
Our Innovation Consultants engage with clients through both virtual (web conferencing) and, whenever possible, face-to-face interaction (right now, we are not doing any face-to-face work to keep our team members and their families healthy and safe). Because a large majority of clients are engaging with our professional services in support of an initial implementation and launch of the Brightidea software, our innovation consultants are expected to develop a deep expertise in the platform and be a resource to provide guidance on client engagements. While Brightidea’s Platform Consultants are responsible for the core software training and configuration activities required to successfully implement the launch and deployment of the Brightidea software, our Innovation Consultants will be expected to partner with the Platform Consultants and lead sessions preparing the clients for success in their program and initiative launches, including:
- Delivering program, platform and innovation process best practices to the customer
- Coaching clients as they plan, develop, build and deploy their innovation programs
- Coordinating the customer enablement process from discovery through launch
- Providing ongoing support and consultation throughout the launch enablement process
Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Creating, managing, and owning the project documentation, scope and schedule
- Determine opportunities for collaboration with product teams’ innovation initiatives.
- Developing a long-term innovation strategy for our customers, identifying opportunities for customers to maximize the return on investment of their innovation programs
- Establish tangible metrics around maturing the innovation capability across the organization.
- Developing content-driven assets like decks, documents, spreadsheets, etc.
- Mature current innovation programming to reach a wider audience and generate better developed ideas.
- Identify, articulate and nurture opportunities at the intersection of Consumer need, Technical feasibility, and Business viability.
- Tracking, reporting, escalating and communicating progress, risks, issues resolution to the customer and management as required
- Facilitating both face-to-face and virtual client learning, planning and working sessions
- Helping customers build deep knowledge and best practices for leveraging the collective intelligence of their employees, customers, and other users in their innovation ecosystem
- Having a passion for helping companies innovate, and you appreciate the power of platforms
- Lead the execution of innovation events intended to engage the employee population and develop ideas that can be explored for value.
What you need to succeed:
- Experience implementing or supporting SaaS products and services - 3+ years required
- 3 - 6 years client management/consulting/SaaS experience
- Genuine care, respect and will for our customers' mission
- Experience implementing large initiatives within private or public institution
- Working knowledge of CSS and HTML
- Knowledge of innovation management or strategy
- Talented writing, speaking, and facilitation skills
- 2 - 4 years project management experience
- Managing multiple client engagements simultaneously with ability to stay on track with project management and LOE
- Ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment
- Experience with the unique dynamics of corporate enterprise initiatives (previous role on an enterprise innovation program a plus)
- Deep Connection with our Mission
- Live in the future – Be immersed in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
- Experience with crowdsourcing, design thinking, lean startup, digital transformation a plus
- Understanding of collaboration technologies and integrations, preferably on a global scale
- Bachelor’s degree with strong academic credentials, advanced degree preferred.
- Love for teamwork and commitment to building a world-class, enterprise-level global customer experience together
- Ability to travel up to 50% (normal travel is approximately 20%)
Our Team:
Brightidea believes that everyone has the ability to make a difference and that a diverse team generates more innovation and bigger ideas.
