85% of the professions we will see in 2030 have not yet been invented: I'm not saying it, but a research of the IFTF (Institute For The Future). With the constant emergence of new technologies, this will transform the job market: what can we expect from technological innovation in the coming years?
A Florentine laboratory of ideas specialized in tailor made technological solutions (it's called Junecus, if you want to deepen his knowledge), has identified four job positions in the technological and digital world that could potentially pave the way for new future professions.
DevOps Expert
The term DevOps refers to the business methodology created to improve communication and collaboration between two divisions: i development groups (Dev, from developer) ei operational groups (Oops). A DevOps expert is a professional who acts as a bridge between development and operations teams. His goal is to optimize developer productivity and operational reliability. “Having increasingly vertically specialized profiles such as that of DevOps Expert in your teams,” he explains Federico Barsotti, Giuneco People Manager, “it allows us to raise work standards and consequently increase customer satisfaction”. For this reason, among the well-paid professions, they deserve a place of honor.
Digital Transformation Manager
Many companies do not have the necessary skills to make a smooth transition towards digitalisation, which has become an essential aspect of businesses today. For this reason, among the professions capable of guaranteeing an effective and successful transformation process, there is that of the Digital Transformation Manager. This working figure is able to know decipher current technological innovations to support companies in the digital transition, understanding if and how to apply them in the different corporate realities. This requires a frequent upgrade from old technologies to newer and more revolutionary ones, which is why people working in this field already have a background in computer science and ICT technology. These are transversal, complex and complete professions: to carry them out you also need soft skills such as the ability to listen and mediate.
Commercial "hybrid"
Technology not only creates new professions, but also allows us to modernize others. For example, the role of the salesman. Today, a commercial has the goal of mediate between company, product and customer: its marketing tools help it leverage to sell services and products. In the future it will become "hybrid", making more and more use of entirely new tools: it will take on functions typical of other professions such as that of analyst, or social media manager to also use social profiles, or analyze market trends.
Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Expert
AI-savvy data scientists can help companies make better decisions by extracting value from large data sets. The peculiarity of these professions is their own multidisciplinarity. In addition to operate in the various stages of data analysis, in fact, they also need to be able to do checks on their coherence and develop predictions about them. Naturally using AI. Among the crucial analyses, regarding professions? Those that lead to hiring and firing decisions.
