Forward Deployed Innovation Strategist at Dine Development Corporation – Remote, Arizona

The Forward Deployed Innovation Strategist serves as a senior-level strategic resource within the DDC Strategic Innovation Team, bridging innovation capability development and strategic deployment to market vertical delivery teams. This role embodies a unique blend of intellectual capital creation, business growth, and hands-on client delivery through the consistent development, enhancement, and deployment of Solution Accelerators.

Forward Deployed Innovation Strategists rotate seamlessly between supporting Strategic Innovation Team initiatives internally and serving as embedded members of subsidiary contract delivery teams. These deployments typically span six months to two years, during which the Strategist directly contributes to high-visibility, mission-critical engagements by deploying and adapting Solution Accelerators as part of the delivery team.

What sets this role apart is the long-term commitment DDC makes to these individuals. Their careers are not bound to a single contract. Forward Deployed Innovation Strategists are selected for their deep expertise, leadership, and strategic impact. After completing their deployments, they return to the Innovation Team, not only to contribute traditionally but also to receive training and contribute to the latest generation of Solution Accelerators, ensuring they remain ready for future deployments. This model enables them to grow, contribute, and lead across the enterprise over time, continuously expanding their knowledge and influence within DDC’s innovation ecosystem.

Solution Accelerators represent the core of DDC’s innovation portfolio and intellectual capital, integrating best practices, methodologies, and design patterns from leading open-source frameworks, standards, and industry maturity models. They embody an intelligent blend of people, process, and technology, with technology serving to enable process maturity and human capital effectiveness, never existing for technology's sake alone.
