Job Description

We are seeking a Strategy & Innovation Manager / Catalyst to operate at the intersection of strategy, execution, ecosystem, and culture, driving innovation programs from idea to pilot to scale. This role will partner closely with business units, digital & product teams, GCC leadership, and external ecosystems (startups, partners, academia) to convert ambiguity into structured execution and measurable impact. You will shape innovation pipelines, lead pilots, influence senior stakeholders, and ensure innovation delivers real business outcomes — not just ideas.

Job Responsibility

  • Own and deliver end-to-end innovation initiatives across the full lifecycle — ideation, design, build, test, pilot, and scale
  • Translate Carrier’s enterprise and digital strategy into focused innovation themes, roadmaps, and execution plans
  • Shape propositions by iterating on insights, customer needs, and commercial viability
  • Design and run a structured idea-to-execution pipeline across functions and teams
  • Lead enterprise hackathons, innovation challenges, Shark Tank–style forums, and ideation workshops
  • Build and sustain strong startup, accelerator, VC, and ecosystem partnerships relevant to Carrier’s priorities
  • Scout emerging solutions and technologies
  • structure POCs, pilots, and co-innovation engagements
  • Work closely with product, platform, architecture, and delivery teams to design scalable, execution-ready solutions
  • Continuously track emerging technologies and innovation models (AI, GenAI, data platforms, IoT, cloud, automation, digital twins)
  • Partner with senior leaders, BU heads, product owners, and GCC leadership to align priorities and funding
  • Define success metrics for innovation initiatives
  • Track milestones, risks, assumptions, and benefits realization
  • Strengthen innovation governance, frameworks, and playbooks.

Requirements

  • 10–12 years in strategy, innovation, digital transformation, product, solutioning, or ecosystem roles
  • Proven experience delivering innovation programs or portfolios, not just ideation
  • Strong exposure to startup ecosystems, accelerators, or external partnerships
  • Demonstrated success running hackathons, pilots, MVPs, or incubation programs
  • Experience working in global, matrixed organizations or GCC environments
  • Strong understanding of digital technologies (AI/ML, GenAI, data, cloud, SaaS, automation, IoT) at a solution level
  • Ability to translate strategy into executable roadmaps and pilots
  • Exceptional stakeholder management, storytelling, and influencing skills
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and creating clarity through structure
  • Agile / Lean / Design Thinking mindset with bias toward action.
