  7. Challenge existing commercial models and propose new strategies for optimizing tech partnerships.
  8. Devise negotiation strategies and processes tailored to each deal.
  9. Identify potential deal designs to meet objectives, such as risk aversion versus creating optionality.

  11. Ensure compliance with H&M Group Purchasing and Consultant Policy.
  12. Execute deals in alignment with initial objectives.
  13. Continuously acquire knowledge of relevant technologies and business needs through supplier and market analyses.
