At Fiskars, innovation is more than a process—it’s a mindset shaped over 375 years of design leadership. As we look ahead, we’re seeking an Innovation Manager who can help define what’s next: someone who blends strategic thinking, category insight, and forward-looking analysis to guide where we play, how we win, and what opportunities shape our future. This role is ideal for a strategic, analytical, and future-oriented leader—someone who sees patterns before others do, uses data to illuminate possibilities, and provides thought leadership that shapes category direction and long-term product strategy. You’ll lead category-level innovation strategy, shaping how Fiskars identifies opportunities, evaluates future needs, and defines long-term growth pathways.

Requirements:
Experience in category strategy, innovation strategy, future foresight, or product/portfolio insights
Strong ability to synthesize data, identify emerging patterns, and frame strategic implications
A thought leader’s mindset—able to see beyond the immediate brief and shape long-term direction

Strong critical thinking and storytelling skills, connecting insight to clear strategic recommendations
A proactive, self-directed approach—you create clarity, momentum, and alignment without being asked
