We are looking for a Global Innovation Consultant to join the Legal & Regulatory Product Development & Innovation Center to help innovate and transform the services Legal & Regulatory is providing to its customers in an environment where the Legal Profession is undergoing change.

This one-year assignment is an excellent opportunity if you would like to broaden your knowledge and skills and get a deep understanding of Product Development & Innovation within Legal and Regulatory.

At the beginning of 2018, the Legal & Regulatory (LR) division created the Product Development & Innovation Center (PD&I), led by Hans Suijkerbuijk. The PD&I Center was set up with the main goals and vision to accelerate the division’s digital growth especially for expert solutions, create a shared innovation pipeline across the entire LR division and drive scalable innovation, centralize product development and ensure quality superiority and to achieve a competitive advantage by being the only player combining digital solutions and software. The PD&I Center’s global organization - which works closely together with the GPO - is structured in such a way that it covers the full innovation pipeline, making for 4 ‘tracks’, each with teams working in a dedicated manner: Track 1 - Innovation; Track 2: Product Development (currently split into two projects, Drafting & Review and Predictive Analytics); Track 3 - Product/Platform Upgrade (currently focusing on the evolution of Global Atlas); Track 4 - Product Management (currently focusing on managing and further rolling out our e-reader solution Smarteca). Employees working for the Center, work together in a mostly virtual way, either in a fully dedicated role or in a temporary assignment-based role.

For a quick (video) explanation of the PD&I Center from the organizations’ lead, Hans Suijkerbuijk, you can watch a short video here.
