Product Design Lead (m/f/x) - SaaS Venture

BCG Digital Ventures is getting ready to launch a new product and venture which is set to disrupt the EUR 2+bn construction industry. Built together with and backed by a leading mining company, this venture is using the latest technologies to create an international set-up system to manage pre-construction processes. 

Together with our Corporate Partner, we are kicking the construction industry into the next gear by addressing its currently outdated processes which lack transparency. How can we make pre-construction processes more transparent and efficient for both General Contractors and Sub-Contractors? How do we make sure that time and resources are not wasted while more projects are won in the process? 

Our ultimate goal is to create a 360° solution for the construction industry. To do so, we are currently building a Software As A Service product that focuses on bid management for General Contractors. In the mid-term, we will continue to build the SaaS and add machine learning to have intelligent and matching algorithms while enabling contractors to generate more projects. The project and venture is and will continue to benefit from our Corporate Partner’s strategic and financial assets which give us a significant advantage and launching point for the product and venture.
