ppBorn and based in Barcelona, Nacar is an baward-winning /b Strategic Design Agency, impassioned by our bagile and international team /b composed of over 90 creative professionals (design strategists, researchers, product and UX / UI designers, engineers, and overall creatives). /p pWe work with all-size clients from across multiple industries, collaborating in binnovation /b and establishing bsolutions and product strategies /b that apply to Industrial, Digital, Brand and Service Design. /p pWe also contribute to their digitalization, by conceptualizing and prototyping new, human centered products and services around technological capabilities. /p pWith a bhybrid-work /b model and bflexible working hours /b, we are powered by a culture of communication, collaboration, proactivity and positivity, always aiming to bhumanize technology experiences /b and to transform into the bphygital /b future. /p pOur offices, an urban oasis, are located in the beautiful bPalo Alto /b, an old factory in Poblenou, restored and converted into studios for designers and artists. /p pNacar was made to be a place where people can bgrow and impact the world /b, and we’re in continuous growth to always provide our best. /p pOur team is connected by common challenges, eager to discover, envision and materialize new opportunities. Is this something you feel identified with? /p pWe're currently looking for a bForesight and Future Design Lead /b to lead our strategic vertical at Nacar. This is a role that combines two things that rarely go together: the ability to read the world before others do, and the discipline to translate that reading into rigorous and profitable projects. /p pYou’ll lead with your centre of gravity in foresight: opening up territories of opportunity that others can't see. You'll be the strategic voice that clients look for when they don't yet know what to ask. /p h3-What will your day to day be like?- /h3 pYou will: /p ul lipAct as the vertical's antenna - maintaining a live, first-hand reading of the landscape: trends, weak signals, emerging behaviours and technologies reshaping industries. /p /li lipOwn the bFuture Opportunity Radar /b methodology: opportunity radars, future scenarios, tech-to- value mapping and concept provocation cards. /p /li lipBuild beditorial presence beyond decks /b - writing,



speaking and publishing with your own voice to elevate the Nacar brand. /p /li lipLead the bstrategic /b quality of the services within the vertical: bFuture Opportunity Radar /b (your natural territory), bInsight Engines /b (research that unlocks real needs)and bProduct Strategy /b (defining what to build, under what service logic, and how it evolves). /p /li lipProvide bstrategic direction /b and elevate criteria in services where you're not the hands-on specialist - relying on strategists and researchers from the team to deliver. /p /li lipLead the most ambiguous projects within the vertical - those requiring breframing /b and bvision /b, not just method. /p /li lipDirect bmultidisciplinary squads /b activated by project, elevating the level of everyone working with you - leadership by gravity, not by hierarchy. /p /li lipEnsure bblueprints /b, broadmaps /b and bresearch /b reports have real density and deliver actionable value. /p /li lipManage btimelines /b, bresources /b and bexpectations /b to keep the vertical profitable. /p /li lipAct as a btrusted /b badvisor /b to C-level clients - sitting with CXOs, Heads of Strategy and Heads of Innovation, sustaining the conversation as an equal. /p /li lipbOpen doors /b that the rest of the team can't. /p /li lipTurn bforesight /b bfindings /b into new service proposals - identifying where clients need more help before they ask. /p /li lipPartner with the bcommercial /b team on pre-sales of strategic accounts, contributing brief reframing and methodological framing /p /li /ul h3-What are we looking for?- /h3 ul lipb5+ years of experience /b in strategic design or innovation consulting- Ideally with time spent at a generalist player that gave you fluency in business language. /p /li lipHybrid career path across the 3 disciplines of the vertical: bforesight /b, user bresearch /b, and bproduct /bdefinition.



You don't have to be an expert in all four - but you understand them deeply enough to lead and challenge. /p /li lipbStructural /b bcuriosity /b: you don't just read trends, you decode them. You connect seemingly disconnected signals and build solid arguments. /p /li lipbAuthority without arrogance /b: you can hold your ground with a C-level client without needing to impose your view. /p /li lipbEditorial /b bmindset /b - you have your own voice and you use it. /p /li lipbOperational /b bdiscipline /b: you know that inspiration without delivery doesn't generate recurring business. /p /li lipProven bleadership /b in complex projects - activating, challenging and elevating the work of more junior strategists and researchers. Leadership by gravity, not by hierarchy. /p /li lipFluent in bEnglish /b (written and spoken); bSpanish /b is a plus. /p /li /ul h3What this role is NOT: /h3 ul lipNot a Product Manager or Product Owner. /p /li /ul ul lipNot a pure UX researcher. /p /li lipNot a trend forecaster from a marketing agency. /p /li lipNot a traditional strategy consultant without design sensibility. /p /li lipNot a purely intellectual profile that doesn't get hands-on with projects. /p /li lipIt's the rare hybrid between a foresight strategist with their own voice, and an operational lead who sustains the quality of the vertical /p /li /ul h3-Why should you join?- /h3 pThis is a unique opportunity for someone looking for a challenge in the strategy and foresight area and to be part of a center of innovation that is impacting clients all over the world - leading a vertical with real editorial and commercial impact. /p pWe also offer: /p ul liPermanent contract. /li liCompetitive salary /li liHybrid working model - you can either work from home or enjoy our beautiful studio (with free coffee and a great garden!). /li liJoin a dynamic +15 nationalities community and enjoy our team-building activities. /li liKeep challenging yourself with our Nacar Academy training program, aligned with the creation of personalized career paths. /li li26 paid vacation days. /li liMonthly allowance for internet costs and a budget for working-from-home materials. /li liHealth Insurance. /li liFlexible working hours. /li liFree tickets for the Palo Alto Market /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
