Incorporating state-of-the-art technologies requires R&D employees to possess knowledge and skillsfor digital transformation. This paper identifies eight key Skills for Digital Transformation from relevant literature and analyses them through a thematic analysis of 25 R&D job descriptions of seven FMCG firms. Additionally, four relevant themes in R&D job advertisements are investigated. The results confirm the relevance of the key skills identified and provide several recommendations for Human Resource departments on how to emphasise them in future R&D job descriptions.engDigital TransformationR&DHuman ResourcesJob DescriptionsCEMS MIMmaster thesis203064712
