i2CAT is a leader in the field of data spaces, coordinating strategic initiatives and participating in many more. Examples where the new position will be working in:

• The Data Space Demonstration Centre in Catalonia, in coordination with the Generalitat de Catalunya. The initiative works with public and private sector actors in Mobility, Health and Industry to identify, design and implement use cases, acting as demonstrators for developing scalable data ecosystems. This requires extensive work with a variety of local Catalan clusters, and engagement with stakeholders (companies and administrations) to understand the data sharing technology and standards applied to their business and strategy goals, and support them during the lifecycle of implementing their use cases (individual projects).
• European Mobility Data Space, a large EC co-funded initiative, where i2CAT is coordinating the implementation of pilots in Barcelona (1 of 9 EU regions participating in the project). The overall project is developing, deploying and piloting a data and service ecosystem for Europe’s future mobility. Use cases involve both the public and private sectors in areas such as public transport and traffic optimization.
• Various local, national and EU forums and working groups, such as International Data Space Association, Gaia-X and Big Data Value Association. These groups are advancing data spaces with aspects complimentary to their technical state of the art and implementation (e.g. use case definition, business and governance models, etc) in various verticals.

i2CAT’s data space team has a holistic role in these projects: coordination, technical architecture design, development, implementation, use case piloting, evolution of IP, ecosystem engagement, development of new opportunities, and more. This position will require a mix of consulting, innovation project management, opportunity development and ecosystem engagement.

The position will carry out a variety of different activities, requiring agility and flexibility across the lifecycle of innovation projects:

• Work with public and private sector clients and partners across various verticals (e.g. mobility, industry, digital health) to define technological solutions to their challenges in secure data exchange within B2B and G2B ecosystems. This will be done in collaboration with the team’s technical experts.
• Engage local, national and EU companies, administrations and institutions to help them understand how these data and service ecosystems (“data spaces”) can resolve business and technical challenges, as well as create new opportunities. This engagement is done through participation in events, workshops, forums and 1:1 meetings.
• Support the technical coordination of use case implementation pilots in a variety of verticals, such as mobility, health and industry. Pilots include a mix of data providers, service providers and technology partners. This will be done in collaboration with the team’s engineers and i2CAT’s project managers, and requires the candidate to prioritize and monitor the business and technical goals of the project with these external partners.
• Actively participate in various local, national and EU working groups focused on data space topics complementary to the technical standards: business models, governance models, product/service development, ecosystem development, etc.
• Work with potential project partners across Europe to develop competitive proposals for funded projects in these topics (e.g. Horizon Europe).
• Develop new project opportunities with partners and clients (companies and administrations), in collaboration with i2CAT business developers for the private and public sectors.

Where will you do it?

At i2CAT we already have an established ‘work-from-home’ policy for some time. You can work from home or from the office, whichever suits you best. We expect that you attend the office one day per week to stay connected with your team and to engage with other colleagues

If you decide to come to the office, we are located in Zona Universitària, next to the Campus Nord of the UPC, within a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment. It is a very well-connected area (metro, tram, bus) with bars and restaurants around.

Our offices are designed with an open-office concept where everything is light and transparency. We have a variety of workspaces so that you don't have to be at the same table all day.

i2CAT is an organization committed to equal opportunities. That is why we seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore explicitly encourage female candidates to apply.
