Innovation Trainers

First of all you should know that this job will mean that you will be away from home for anything up to 80 days a year – so if you are not up for journeying between the likes of Hong Kong, Jakarta, Sydney, New York and London, then there is little point in reading on.

If on the other hand the thought of this really floats your boat, this could be your dream job. You do not need to be an existing trainer, in fact existing trainers need not apply.

It is crucial that you can instinctively engage with people at all levels. Being a natural communicator you will have proven experience of facilitating group activity with high profile clients

You will have demonstrable experience of FMCG innovation projects and the ability to shift thinking as a result of your creative thinking and improvisation skills. What is more, we are looking for candidates who have real commercial nous with the ability to develop new business as part of a team.

We think these roles are best suited to eg strategically orientated brand account directors, who like standing up and performing, facilitating enjoyable workshops, but also enjoy speaking with clients about their brand issues. Of course these characteristics aren’t exclusive to account directors, but essentially you have to be a doer and a thinker; so you could be a quasi client director/consultant.

What will you be doing – effectively you will be helping to train and embed learning around the subject of innovation with some of the world’s most exciting brands. Working with teams of marketers, you will play a key role in inspiring fresh learning.

There are no complex text-book models, but simple, straightforward, practical learnings that are grounded in experience. All the programmes are very experiential and interactive. They are based upon what works in the real-world of innovation. They apply to everyone, as creativity can be applied to every aspect of working life. Last and by no means least the programmes are fun – because people learn more when they’re enjoying themselves.
