Familiarity with solutions business dynamics (e.context.g., recurring revenue, services attach, customer segments) a strong plus
Discretion and maturity in handling sensitive industry intelligence
Bachelor's Degree

Responsibilities

Track and interpret technology, semiconductor, device, and solutions/services industry trends, including competitive actions, platform shifts, and evolving business models (e.g., XaaS, hybrid cloud, vertical solutions)
Identify early signals across both hardware ecosystem and solutions landscape that may impact demand, supply, cost structure, or competitive dynamics
Incorporate on‑record and off‑record supply chain signals (e.g., ODM ecosystem, component trends, channel behavior) to enrich industry understanding
Connect supply-side developments with solutions and services implications (e.g., attach opportunities, lifecycle services, enterprise demand patterns), on top of hardware trends
Use this integrated view to contextualize industry narratives, not to produce financial forecasts
Translate external signals into strategic and operational implications for Lenovo across devices, infrastructure, and solutions/services
Highlight cross-BU implications, including how shifts in solutions demand may influence product mix, go-to-market models, and ecosystem partnerships
Connect insights with internal Finance, Operations, and SSG perspectives, supporting planning discussions and business prioritization
Produce concise, insight‑driven narratives for leadership consumption
Focus on clarity, signal vs. noise separation, and decision relevance, especially where solutions trends create incremental growth or strategic risk
