Your Responsibilities



As a Business Transformation Strategy Analyst you will play a key role in ensuring we achieve our 2030 Leap Ambitions by providing strategic clarity and guidance in our journey to become a world-leading Smart Industrial company. This is a new role that will identify the most important questions in our business transformation and provide data-driven, logical answers to them. In doing so this role will support the evolution of key parts of our business from an up-front, one-time purchase model to one in which cutting-edge technologies and services are sold with a recurring, renewable-license model. The SaaS model will help customers by lowering upfront costs, allowing them to pay for only what their operation needs, and ensuring our products continue to add value over time.



Within this role, you will:

• Identify and prioritize key questions and challenges we will face in our business transformation to deliver Solutions as a Service


• Create specific, logical, and data-driven justification for SaaS decisions that address our key questions and challenges


• Partner with our go-to-market teams to evaluate how SaaS ecosystem value is shared among our customers, our dealers, and ourselves


• Investigate the possible impact of our SaaS portfolio on the existing vehicle business and develop strategies to maintain and grow the one-time sale model while adding recurring business models


• Create a perspective on organic vs inorganic growth opportunities in partnership with corporate strategy and business development teams


• Develop a perspective on the key sources of strategic competitive advantage for advanced technology and SaaS companies in our key markets and create strategies for us to strengthen or build key capabilities that drive maximum customer value


• Provide continuous coaching and support (in some cases lead) strategic SaaS decision-making efforts across the Business Transformation Ecosystem
