Job Description

Are you ready to define the landscape of 2026?

We are seeking a visionary Strategic Lead to join our elite Future Trends division. In an era of rapid disruption, businesses need more than just hindsight—they need foresight. As the Head of Future Trends & Horizon Scanning, you will be the architect of our long-term vision, identifying the pivotal shifts that will shape industries in the coming years.

This is not a standard management role. It is a high-impact position for a forward-thinker who thrives on ambiguity and has a proven track record of predicting market evolution.

Why Join Us?

  • Global Impact: Shape strategies that influence global markets.
  • Autonomy: Lead a dedicated team of analysts and futurists.
  • Future-Proof Culture: Work in a forward-thinking environment that values innovation over tradition.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and execution of the 2026 Strategic Roadmap, translating abstract trends into actionable business insights.
  • Conduct rigorous Horizon Scanning across technology, economics, and social behavior to identify emerging patterns and threats.
  • Collaborate directly with the C-Suite to integrate foresight data into core business decision-making processes.
  • Publish quarterly reports and white papers on the state of the future, establishing the company as a thought leader.
  • Design scenario planning exercises to prepare the organization for volatile market conditions.
  • Mentor a team of junior analysts and foster a culture of continuous innovation.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Economics, or a related field; Master’s degree (MBA or MSc) preferred.
  • 10+ years of experience in strategic planning, management consulting, or high-level corporate strategy.
  • Proven ability to synthesize complex data into clear, compelling narratives.
  • Deep understanding of emerging technologies (AI, Blockchain, Quantum Computing) and their potential impact by 2026.
  • Exceptional leadership skills with a history of cross-functional team management.
  • Certified Futurist (CF) or similar accreditation is a strong plus.
