This role exists to determine the best way to solve validated business problems through Innovation & AI.
The Innovation & AI Product Incubation Lead transforms strategic opportunities into validated Innovation & AI solutions through discovery, experimentation, prototyping, and pilot execution. This leader owns the end-to-end incubation process — from discovery and user research through POC / prototype, solution definition, proven hypothesis and transition into Product Engineering for productizing the solution and working closely with Product Engineering (Covista Product Management & engineering team) to execute and deliver on the business outcome.
The role partners closely with Innovation & AI Product Strategy, Innovation Engineering, Product Families, UX, Architecture, and Engineering to reduce delivery risk before future investment into productizing the solution. It is a highly collaborative, inward-facing product leadership role focused on building the right solution, validating assumptions quickly, and ensuring Product Engineering receives well-defined, execution-ready initiatives.
