Vice President – Capgemini Invent Careers Manchester

Overview

Position Title: Vice President

Company: Capgemini Invent

Location: Manchester, UK

Job Description

As a global leader in strategy and transformation, Capgemini Invent provide industry-specific services and guidance to the world’s leading retail companies. Over the last 5 years, Capgemini Invent have achieved continued growth and are now seeking to recruit a Vice President to support the continued expansion in the sector.

Responsibilities:

• No matter the project or customer, your work will have a meaningful impact on society, businesses and lives. It’s really rewarding. And it’s also really varied, whether fostering our reputation within a new account, or growing and expanding our footprint within a strategic one.
• We help our clients to become more customer focused, to embrace the power of new technologies, data science and the digital revolution, to explore new business models, to control costs and add value for customers and to achieve their environment and sustainability commitments. We have deep expertise across the end-to-end value chain and our teams are built with people who have ‘walked the shopfloor’ and truly understand the challenges of our clients from both sides.
• As a VP in our retail sector team you will lead Capgemini’s engagement with one of more of our major accounts and help to bring together the best of Capgemini’s offers and bring to life what’s next for your client. In doing so you will work with a diverse set of colleagues from within Invent and other parts of Capgemini, drawing from our global networks and experience.
• Alongside this you will be pivotal to the development and implementation of our profitable growth ambition.

Requirements:

• Innovation is at the heart of our retail business. Last year we opened Cornershop, an innovation store in east London, where we are trialling new concepts, partnering with start-ups and establishing co-innovation projects with new and existing clients.
• We believe seeing concepts in action, learning fast and scaling quick is a necessary capability for our clients to be disruptive in the market and keep pace with customer expectations. This spirit of rapid innovation transcends all our retail projects, be it the use of data science to prove complex supply chain hypotheses, building agility into core ERP landscapes or seeking new ways for retailers to engage with their customers.
