New York, United States Board of Innovation Full time
Join us in imagining tomorrow's products, services and businesses - and creating them today.

Board of Innovation is a global independent collective of strategists, designers, and tech pioneers. We lead the charge in AI-powered innovation and we’re looking for a Lead Strategist in NYC, who is driven by our resolute mission to make what life needs next.

Our culture is forward-thinking, built on the pillars of intellectual curiosity, an originator & experimenter mindset, all fueled by the power of AI and fortified by exceptional business acumen.

Our values should tell you something about how we roll and we look for genuine alignment on these - it’s a non negotiable.

- Make it personal: help others. Be yourself. Leave your ego at the door.

- Make it better: think, and think again. Raise the bar. Listen, learn, share, repeat.

- Make it happen: be entrepreneurial. No buzzwords, no theater. Ideas are nice, but impact is everything.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll be working with a global, diverse team of smart, creative people with hacker mindsets and an entrepreneurial approach. Check out some of our team on Linkedin, to spark your curiosity - Geoff, Monte, Natasha, Kahini. If you like a challenge this is the place for you. 

You’ll get in front of our clients from day one. This is a key role in our team and you’ll be instrumental in leading to successful client outcomes and deliverables. If you're passionate about the limitless possibilities of AI in driving innovation, we should definitely talk

What does success look like from the inside?

Our entrepreneurial talent is one of the biggest drivers for our growth which doesn’t vibe too well with very rigid job descriptions. At the same time we want to be transparent around what's expected of this role. That's why we've included our success factors, a framework that serves as a foundation for setting clear role expectations and allowing our people to grow. We anticipate that you will be acknowledged by both your clients and colleagues as a valuable contributor, showcasing a genuine spirit of experimentation in all matters pertaining to AI, strategy, and the development of value propositions.

  • Project contribution and ownership: Alongside the Director, you are co-responsible for project outcomes - deliver work that is profitable, brag worthy and that teams are proud to be associated with. You anticipate problems and galvanise teams to solve them. You care about the work and the clients in a way that people buy into.
  • Project management: You effectively prioritize own work and keep the team informed on progress. On smaller projects, you deliver work on time & effectively manage priorities. You understand the factors that contribute to project profitability and can make and implement recommendations to optimise.
  • Self driven learning: You are seen as a partner by clients in their area of specialism. You are fluent in the BOI proposition/strategy/offering and you communicate this externally in ways that engage clients/candidates.  
  • Business development: You contribute to business development efforts by spotting upsell opportunities on your project. You make introductions to potential prospects within client companies. You will have a clear understanding of our our sales process and show ability to contribute to proposals and pitches in ways that convince clients and win exciting new work.

Does this sound like you?

We recognize everyone has a unique journey. We love that. But if you are still wondering if this is your dream job, then consider if this is you:

  • You bring in 4-5+ years of relevant experience in an innovation / strategy / AI agency.
  • You have managed successful innovation projects A to Z as part of an agency/consultancy.
  • You exhibit a clear preference for incorporating AI into the innovation process.
  • You are eligible to work in the US and you’re excited to work from our NYC office a few times a week.
  • You are skilled in designing and executing impactful evaluative and generative experiments using digital tools. You're interested in quantifying things.
  • You have contributed to business development before by spotting upsell opportunities and making introductions to clients.
  • You identify strongly with our mission, values and culture.

This is an exhaustive list, please apply even if you don’t tick all of these boxes. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, recognizing that a diverse workforce is fundamental to achieving our mission and goals.

And finally, some things you should know about how we work

Board of Innovation an independent agency, committed to open source - all our insights are available on our website and you can download as many as you like to use in any way you like. That should tell you something about how we think about Innovation - what we do goes beyond frameworks and methodologies. We hire people who think bigger than the box and don’t need the template - the original thinkers. Our consultants are at the forefront of using Artificial Intelligence to imagine and create products, services, and businesses that stick. We look for fast learners who can see a client problem from a different angle and find smarter ways to answer strategic questions.

Join us to imagine and create tomorrow's products, services and businesses - and create them today.
