Innovation Consultant - Established Behavioural Scientist

About Innovia

Innovia Technology makes innovation breakthroughs happen for the world's leading companies. We solve complex innovation challenges and create new opportunities so our clients can outperform competitors and change the world for good.

Our clients include Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, LEGO, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Haleon, Shell, IWC Schaffhausen, Kenvue, Kraft Heinz, and The North Face. Clients work with Innovia Technology because our work leads to products and services that customers prefer - reaching markets faster and more efficiently than any realistic alternative.

The Opportunity

Deeply knowledgeable about human behaviour and ready to deliver real world impact for clients? We have a mid level consulting role that is suited to candidates who are looking to broaden their professional experience, taking on client and project responsibility. The role is ideal for someone with a strong academic background and applied experience who is motivated to pursue a consulting career in a creative, exploratory, and holistic environment.

What's different about a role at Innovia is that you won't join an isolated behavioural science department, but instead will jointly own complex problems with colleagues of a wide range of backgrounds - from product design to veterinary medicine, theoretical physics, plant science, engineering, business strategy, and many more. Consultants at Innovia work at the front end of innovation - ideation, experimentation, concept testing, prototyping, and idea development.

Whilst experience in managing innovation projects is not a prerequisite for this role, we are looking for someone with the motivation to take full ownership of complex multidisciplinary innovation projects and the ability to take ownership of substantial tasks. We'll work with you to support your development - depending on your past experience this might involve shadowing experienced managers, mentoring or initially taking ownership of less demanding assignments.

You don't need direct experience of innovation or consultancy but it is important that you have the skills and motivation to build relationships with clients and work within the constraints of business and commerce such as tight deadlines, uncertainties, and adapting to client needs.

What You'll Work On

From improving adherence to over the counter medicines, to reshaping retail experiences, supporting healthier ageing, or developing interventions that reduce drink driving, you will work on tackling real world challenges our clients face. We apply structured thinking and behavioural insight pragmatically to help clients reduce uncertainty, make better decisions and move ideas forward at pace, across sectors including healthcare, transport, energy, food, and sustainability.
