Venture Builder (f/m/x)

As a Venture Builder, you will create, validate, and launch new business ideas inside the company. You will identify promising business opportunities and work in cross-functional teams to design, test, and validate them. Once desirability, feasibility, and viability are demonstrated, you will develop and grow these ventures either within an existing business line or as a new spin-out. You will take on a hands-on entrepreneurial role, building and scaling multiple new business ideas in parallel.

• Plan and conduct customer discovery activities, including in-depth customer interviews, surveys, and qualitative and quantitative market research.
• Apply customer-centric methodologies such as Jobs-to-Be-Done, customer journey mapping, and problem framing to uncover unmet needs, pain points, and demand signals.
• Translate customer insights into clear value propositions, solution concepts, and testable hypotheses.
• Design and validate new business models (including business plans, financial models, and go-to-market strategies) by gathering strong evidence through experiments, prototypes, and market tests that reduce innovation risk.
• Drive early customer acquisition, product development, and/or market expansion initiatives.
• Monitor, analyse, and interpret key performance indicators to steer growth and assess profitability potential.
• Build and manage strategic partnerships and internal/external networks to support venture development.
• Continuously assess market trends, competitive dynamics, and emerging opportunities, contributing to the evolution of the innovation strategy and venture-building process.

• Evidence-Based Solution Design: Skilled in synthesising customer and market insights into value propositions, designing experiments and prototypes, and interpreting results to inform strategy.
• Stakeholder Engagement and Communication: Excellent communicator with strong stakeholder management skills, able to engage early customers, partners, and contribute positively to team dynamics.
