Are you curious about how organisations make long-term strategic decisions, identify future opportunities and turn ideas into action?
We're looking for a Strategy and Innovation Associate to help shape the future of Nest's propositions and customer experience. Working across both the Customer Strategy and Innovation teams, you'll help explore some of the most important opportunities facing Nest, from improving outcomes for members, employers and connectors to identifying emerging trends that could influence our future direction.

You'll work closely with senior colleagues and stakeholders, helping to turn complex information into clear recommendations and supporting strategic discussions that influence future decisions.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who is analytical, curious and eager to learn.

The minimum criteria for this role are:
<ul>
<li>Experience in a strategy, innovation, insight, research, proposition or other analytical role (or relevant learning).</li>
<li>Strong analytical and research skills, with the ability to gather, assess and synthesise information from multiple sources.</li>
<li>Ability to translate insights into clear implications, recommendations and actions for stakeholders.</li>
<li>Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create clear presentations, summaries and reports.</li>
<li>Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently.</li>
</ul>
Don't worry if you think you don't have all the key skills, it might be worth taking the few minutes to apply as we're good at spotting potential. At Nest, you’ll have access to a range of learning opportunities to learn, grow and build the skills you need to be successful in your role and career.
