Lead / Product Owner Market Strategy & Innovation
The Strategic Exploration department focuses on providing insight into the impact of customer and market developments on our networks and translating this into strategy, action plans, and the necessary smart solutions. The Market Strategy & Innovation team contributes to this by experimenting with solutions and validating what is valuable for Liander. This can be done in small projects on a one-to-one basis with the customer, but also in large programs in collaboration with industry organizations, authorities, and other network operators.
The Market Strategy & Innovation team—consisting of project managers and consultants—quickly switches between client, policy, technology, legal matters, and, of course, operations to make solutions a reality. This starts with determining a strategy and translates into the implementation of a solution, which usually runs smoothly, always encounters bumps and dilemmas, but does have a longer lead time. At the same time, there are moments when everything accelerates and quick thinking is essential. In addition, there are always new developments or ad hoc strategic questions that need to be addressed quickly in a project or program. All in all, it is a dynamic environment in which you, as a leader, must know how to strike a balance between providing frameworks and leaving room to lead the team to the best results.
To achieve this, you, as a leader, set the direction for the team. You develop a clear vision and ensure that goals, priorities, and results are clear. You focus on both content and impact: from vision to implementation. Together with your team members, you translate insights from the market into strategic choices that make a difference and are valuable to Liander.
You do this by:
Everything we do, we do with an eye for the people who count on us: our customers. And thanks to our talents, we have every confidence in the energy future of the Netherlands. Together with you, we are making the energy transition possible, for and with our customers.
You make it more energetic
Working on an organization that is future-proof. You do this using your own strengths and talents. And you do this with us. Can you contribute to this with your flexibility in a changing environment? And can you supplement this with:
