  • Innovation & Continuous Improvement

  • Collaborate with internal and external partners (labs, vendor co‑creation) to explore innovation opportunities
  • Proactively research the competitive landscape through market research, trend analysis, and vendor showroom visits
  • Generate new, feasible ways of working to improve development efficiency and product quality
  • Leadership & Influence

  • Enable alignment and influence across cross‑functional partners at all levels
  • Communicate clearly and effectively through both verbal and visual formats
