Job Description

Board of Innovation is an independently owned business design and innovation strategy firm with offices in Antwerp, Amsterdam, New York, and Singapore. Our business designers and innovation consultants help the world’s largest organizations navigate fundamental shifts. We do this by developing growth strategies, innovation capabilities, and new businesses with many of the world's largest organizations (have a look at our cases here).

Over the past 10 years, Board of Innovation has worked with large corporates and Fortune 500s, both B2B and B2C, including Roche, AstraZeneca, General Electric, AB Inbev, Novartis, TD Bank, Adidas, ING, Thomson Reuters, and SOS Children's Villages to navigate transformational shifts.

We are scaling up our global project team for Movement Health 2030, which we co-founded together with Roche, Carlos Slim Foundation, and Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies. It started in LATAM and now we are looking for regional leads in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. All countries and regions have their own systemic health challenges that are too big and complex to solve alone. Together with different stakeholders in the eco-system, we co-create impactful and inclusive solutions at scale fostering healthier communities. You will be working fully dedicated to this project for the coming year(s).

  • Be entrepreneurial - We take ownership and get things done.
  • Raise the bar - We aim to set the standard by working smarter, not harder.
  • Help each other - We genuinely help others to shine and be amazing. No ego.
  • Make it matter - We focus on what will have the biggest impact. No theatre.

In the role of a senior innovation consultant, you will be working closely together with our project lead for EMEA Julian and our client partner Arne.
