We are seeking a Digital Innovation Manager with expertise in leading and managing digital innovation projects, particularly focused on the connectivity ecosystem. This role will be instrumental in driving the company’s innovation strategy, overseeing also innovation funded projects, and managing cross-functional technological initiatives in connectivity.

Area Description

MISSION

This vision is based in three missions: to make innovation a transversal area in the company by connecting the dots between the different units, to assume risk as an enabler of progress; and to be able to assume this progress from a sustainable perspective through accountability.

• Represent the company in international forums on digital technologies, connectivity standards, and the evolution of the mobile ecosystem.

• Proven experience in digital innovation management with a strong background in communication and eSIM technology.
• Deep understanding of the mobile device ecosystem, connectivity, IoT, and XR.
• Experience managing R&D projects, ensuring compliance and execution.

• Experience in budget management and strategic innovation planning.
• Fluent in English (additional languages are a plus).

• Experience in technology roadmaps and defining functional requirements for mobile platforms.
• Background in advanced mobile services.
• Strong technical acumen with the ability to engage with technology partners, manufacturers and application providers.
• Experience in working with Telefonica OBs, TTech, Corporate.
