- This post is classified A2-A4 on the Coordinated Organisations’ salary scale.**Location**
ESRIN, Frascati, Italy**Description**
Head of the Φ-Lab (Phi lab) Explore Office in the Φ-Lab Division, Climate Action, Sustainability and Science Department (EOP-S), Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes (D/EOP).

The Φ-Lab is an innovation lab whose mission is to accelerate the future of Earth observation with the goal of strengthening Europe’s world-leading competitiveness in the science and industrial sectors, as well as serving as a “hub and catalyst” for EO and disruptive/transformative innovations to connect a growing ecosystem of innovative capabilities across Europe.

**Duties**
Under the direct authority of the Head of the Φ-Lab Division, you will be responsible for exploring disruptive and transformative innovations originating from both the space and non-space domains, assessing their positive impact, prototyping, demonstrating, and finally enabling their adoption in the EO ecosystem (industry, academia, NGOs and the scientific community) and in ESA mainstream activities. In addition to exploring the worldwide innovation landscape, you will follow strategic directions and goals as defined by D/EOP and EOP-S.
As the Head of the Φ-Lab Explore Office, you should be technically competent, detail-focused, strategic, energetic and motivated, with the capability to promote and achieve innovation adoption. You will be a recognised innovator with an international network of connections, as well as an interest in innovative technologies and approaches combined with a strong ability to think out of the box.
You will develop and foster a worldwide community around the Φ-Lab and manage a cooperative framework through which these actors can work with ESA by rapidly prototyping new concepts in a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment. This involves using disruptive and agile development methods to foster discovery, facilitate innovation and accelerate the development cycles of EOP projects.
You will also collaborate with the Head of the Invest Office in promoting a single Φ-Lab innovation pipeline, fostering the adoption of disruptive/transformative technologies in the InCubed programme.
You will be responsible, in collaboration with the Head of the Φ-Lab, for the design and implementation of the EOP coordination function for disruptive innovation.
You will lead a team of ESA staff who facilitate the activities of a larger, multidisciplinary, high-turnover group comprising visiting researchers from industry and academia, temporarily assigned ESA staff and research fellows. You will coordinate closely and work in matrix mode with other Φ-Lab teams.
You will:

- explore the disruptive/transformative innovation landscape of the space and non-space domains, analysing innovation trends and opportunities within the ecosystem (including ESA);
- implement strategic directions and goals as defined by D/EOP and EOP-S;
- deliver an excellent and coherent innovation programme aiming at the adoption of ideas (based on positive results);
- prepare a multi-year Φ-Lab Explore Office strategic plan and yearly work plans;
- prospect for opportunities and secure resources from ESA and non-ESA programmes to support the activities of the Office;
- develop disruptive/transformative innovation and unorthodox organisational methods to rapidly prototype new capabilities in an informal, multidisciplinary and collaborative environment: the Φ-Lab Explore Office;
- network proactively with EOP organisational units to collect ideas, addressing their problems and opportunities, channelling results into their projects and supporting continuous innovation within D/EOP;
- provide an open gateway and cooperative framework to enable innovation pioneers to connect with ESA and within the EO ecosystem;
- develop a European and international innovation community around the Φ-Lab to collect strategic inputs mainly from outside the space domain;
- ensure the timely execution of all administrative procedures necessary for hosting people at the Φ-Lab Explore Office;
- coordinate with the Φ-Lab Invest Office to develop success cases of disruptive/transformative technologies exploited in InCubed activities;
- support the Head of the Φ-Lab in the design and implementation of the EO coordination function for disruptive innovation;
- liaise with counterparts in other ESA directorates to maximise the overall coherence and effectiveness of ESA actions fostering disruptive/transformational innovation within the space sector.
