Innovation & AI Professional (m/f/d)

Your core responsibility is to own and continuously groom the team's innovation and AI idea backlog, capturing, evaluating, and prioritizing incoming use cases based on strategic fit, technical feasibility, and business impact while driving the end-to-end innovation funnel from raw concept to pilot validation. You will translate technical concepts into clear business cases that outline expected ROI, efficiency gains, and strategic differentiators, while establishing KPIs and metrics to monitor the success, adoption, and value delivery of ongoing projects. In close collaboration with product managers, data scientists, software engineers, and domain experts, you will plan development sprints, milestones, and resource allocation, actively monitoring project velocity, identifying bottlenecks, and facilitating swift problem-solving. Furthermore, you will partner closely with cross-functional teams, IT, legal and compliance frameworks (including Siemens AI governance), and leadership to ensure seamless integration, while engaging with external partners, startups, academic institutions, and industry consortia to bring cutting-edge external innovations into the Siemens ecosystem.
