Principal
As a Principal - New Ventures you will work closely with the Chief Innovation Officer to look for relevant New Ventures (possibly Start-Up opportunities) in Australia and internationally that can bring new dimensions to what we want to offer our customers so as to deliver on our Customer Value Proposition and maximise our differentiation in their eyes.
You will take direct responsibility for analysing such opportunities when identified - considering the full range of relationship options: licence agreements, partnerships, JVs, equity investments etc. You will work with TAG, Group M+A, Group Legal etc as required, to make these investments a reality. Over time, the team will review the pros / cons of establishing an AMP Fund as a focal point to support a range of such investments in New Ventures.
Work with the Chief Innovation Officer to establish a sustainable basis on which AMP will manage its investments in New Ventures and maintain adequate governance if required, always linked with the relevant business sponsor unless the venture in question is in a totally new area then it's likely that Customer Solutions should incubate.
Work with Chief Innovation Officer and the team analyst to maintain and develop links with all AMP's chosen Australian and global 'Exemplars'; work to develop long lasting, broad relationships with these companies / organisations + actively promote learning from each other. Look to develop new 'Exemplar' relationships to build out the breadth of our learning.
Contribute to the team's custodian / content manager responsibilities re a range of information within the new Knowledge section of the Hub - focused on sharing learning's from all our Exemplars (eg USAA ) - in order to actively promote being Connected and sharing Learning across the Group
If required, lead specific ad hoc strategic projects and undertake analysis and insights to develop strategies to solve specific business problems and exploit opportunities.
You will often work on your own, sometimes supported by a team analyst. However, you may also be required to establish and lead project teams made up of a wide range of different resources from the Design team, IT, business lines as well as external contractors to deliver projects.
As a senior member of the Design, New Ventures Innovation team you will be expected to play an active role in the team's wellbeing and overall development, which will include team talent development, intellectual knowledge, culture and modelling AMP's behaviours.
