Top 4 Most In-Demand Professions Anticipated in 2023
DEVOPS EXPERT
DevOps is a company methodology that aims to enhance communication and collaboration between the development (Dev) and operations (Ops) groups. A DevOps Consultant plays the crucial role of connecting these two teams and fostering their collaboration to improve the productivity of developers and the reliability of operations. This involves introducing processes, tools, and methodologies that cater to the various stages of software development, including coding, deployment, maintenance, and updates. Moreover, DevOps Consultants can also act as coordinators for software release phases and conduct research to troubleshoot any issues that may arise during the execution of these processes.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION MANAGER
Today, digital transition is crucial for companies to survive, but not all of them possess the necessary skills to undergo the process seamlessly. Therefore, to ensure an effective and efficient transition, companies need to employ a specialized resource known as a “Digital Transformation Manager”. The Digital Transformation Manager is equipped with the expertise to decode the latest technological advancements and support companies in their digital transformation journey by identifying their applicability in diverse corporate settings.
The Digital Transformation Manager must possess the ability to balance outdated and modern technologies. In order to accomplish this, they often have extensive training in ICT, although their role is multifaceted and complex, and their expertise may also stem from backgrounds in marketing and project management.
The role of Digital Transformation Manager can be fulfilled by a Product Owner, particularly in companies that adopt the Agile Methodology. Agile is a work approach that facilitates collaborative planning and development between team members and customers. Product Owners are responsible for maximizing product value and work output by actively collaborating with each team member, addressing inquiries, and defining objectives in line with the product roadmap and user needs. This role requires broad knowledge of end-user requirements and the ability to understand how the product can meet those needs, allowing the Product Owner to effectively lead the innovation process in terms of technology and processes. As a “hybrid” role, the Product Owner operates at the interface of the company’s business and IT functions, as well as between the company and the market, bridging the gap between clients and end-users.
“HYBRID” COMMERCIAL
In addition to creating new job opportunities, technology enables the modernization of existing roles, such as that of a salesperson. Traditionally, the salesperson’s role is to act as a mediator between the company, its products and services, and customers, using paper catalogues, technical data sheets, photos, and product references to communicate with clients.
n what ways is technology affecting this figure? One way it’s evolving is through the ability to incorporate various technological skills from the marketing world and adapt them to the realm of sales, enabling individuals to draw upon and develop their own expertise.
What are some examples of marketing tools that can be utilized to support a “hybrid” business? Social media profiles can be repurposed for business use, allowing for network expansion and potential lead generation. Analyzing market trends can also prove useful for reaching target user groups with your company’s offerings, addressing their needs with relevant sales proposals. Additionally, leveraging a data-driven approach can enable a more direct and unfiltered connection with the market, enhancing consumer listening and obtaining clearer insights.
DATA SCIENCE
This particular profile possesses expertise in the field of artificial intelligence and data science, utilizing these skills to aid companies with vast amounts of data in their efforts to align decision-making processes with the information contained within. One key aspect of this role is its multidisciplinary nature, encompassing not only various phases of data analysis but also ensuring data consistency and utilizing artificial intelligence to make predictions. Examples of such processes may include assessing expense and invoice consistency, predicting hiring and attrition rates, all of which are crucial analyses for any company.
Federico Barsotti, People Manager of Giuneco explains:
“Until a few years ago, the industry was in search of the “mythical” Full Stack Developer, a professional capable of developing both front-end and back-end applications with a solid understanding of both areas. However, we have come to realize that this may not necessarily be the optimal solution. While this type of professional may provide cost savings to the company, it could also compromise the quality of the end product delivered to the customer.”
Incorporating vertically specialized professionals into your team, such as a DevOps Expert, can elevate work standards and, in turn, enhance customer satisfaction.
