Mobility intrapreneur managing complex projects who has renovated an entire house in her spare time.
You analyse cases where there is a particular need for innovation and use them to identify business opportunities and possible solutions. On this basis, you develop ideas, test them on the market at an early stage and thus meet needs and stay in touch with contemporary customers. Your work is an important contribution to ensuring SBB’s future competitiveness. Our customers, and the goal of ensuring sustainable integrated mobility in Switzerland, are at the heart of what you do.
Create something visionary.
The challenges of a railway company providing an essential service and the changing mobility needs of customers give you many opportunities to make your mark: so you are open and curious about topics such as holistic approaches to mobility, traffic management and new ways of living and working. But you also love finding new mobility solutions, solving problems in our core business and exploring digital and technical innovation.
Generate added value.
You make targeted use of your skills in projects to develop and test systematic and pragmatic solutions, or to test and find solutions thanks to internal or external cooperation. You always work with the aim of generating real added value and developing solutions which can be implemented by SBB in the long term.
You are both a visionary and holistic thinker and have a sense of responsibility and entrepreneurship. In addition to a Bachelor and/or Master’s degree (from a university and/or university of applied sciences), you have several years’ experience in project management and agile methods of working. You work independently and take the initiative, meaning you can react flexibly to internal and external customer needs. So you master negotiations with skill, openness and a great deal of empathy.
The Innovation, Research and Incubation unit is part of SBB Corporate Development. On the basis of the SBB strategy and the need for innovation it creates, you tackle topics such as traffic management, holistic approaches to mobility, new mobility and new ways of living and working. And you also look at digital and technical innovations, trends, developments, analyses and solutions to problems in SBB’s core business. Before we implement solutions at SBB, we test them on the market itself. Our test projects include, for example:
The framework conditions for your work are based directly on the SBB strategy and innovation strategy. You work as an independent member of teams and take your own responsibility. You implement your own entrepreneurial ideas. You make use of our flat hierarchies (collegial leadership) to work dynamically and creatively in a team. You work together with your team colleagues as equals.
We promote modern ways of working. Mobile working means working away from your SBB workplace. You can work at home, on the move, when visiting customers or elsewhere within and outside of SBB. As a mobility intrapreneur, you can organise your work more flexibly thanks to Work Smart. And that means you can also organise your leisure time more flexibly.
Without SBB, the country would come to a standstill. And so would SBB without you. Here, you can be proud of your work. Because it’s important for Switzerland. You ensure that Switzerland enjoys sustainable and customer-oriented mobility services and guarantee SBB’s long-term position as a mobility service provider. In this role, you improve the quality of life of people in Switzerland with relevant, sustainable, future-oriented mobility services. You aim for a safe and efficient railway.
