The business-led innovation team (Vista) within ST&S is set up with the mission to help future-proof the organization. We set out to answer three questions:

Reporting to the Innovation Implementation Lead, you will be empowered to:
Develop an understanding of the ST&S business—its workflows, strategic goals, and how Vista products and prototypes support business goals, constraints, and commercial drivers.
Work collaboratively with Vista Originators, Ecosystem colleagues, and ST&S partners to build strong relationships, uncover innovation opportunities, and drive ideation sessions that identify business problems and creative solutions.
Build a deep understanding of users and their needs, shaping clear and commercially sound business value cases behind opportunity requirements.
Bring design-thinking and technical know-how to define, bring together, and align product requirements (functional and non-functional) with business value.
Create and be responsible for the product roadmap—prioritising features, handling the backlog, and adapting plans quickly in response to shifting needs or insights.
Communicate progress and timelines clearly and frequently to customers, Vista leadership, and collaborators—responding to feedback in a constructive way.

Collaborate with global colleagues across design, engineering, data science, security, procurement, and legal to deliver innovative products at pace.
Partner with engineering teams to ensure delivery clarity and address blockers in a timely and proactive manner.
Conduct user testing and feedback sessions, assess delivery outcomes, and make evidence-based decisions to enhance, pivot, or retire products.
Continuously seek ways to improve processes and work closely with supporting functions to evolve them in line with Vista’s innovation remit.
Stay informed on industry trends, competitor movements, and emerging technologies—building relationships with internal and external innovation partners to bring new ideas that keep ST&S ahead of the curve.
