Impact

As a Manager of Strategy, you will work across functions and with senior leaders to help identify and evaluate critical strategic problems/priorities and catalyze action against them through strategy measurement and value management. As a strategist, consultant and implementer, you will play a critical role in helping to build a healthy organization, set the right strategy and process, and drive critical cross-functional efforts with senior leaders across the organization. We are looking for someone who excels at "getting things done" in a dynamic entrepreneurial environment, and who gets excited about this unique opportunity to contribute to the long-term success of the company. While no two days are the same, you will work with senior leadership and their teams to advise on strategy measurement using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). You will work alongside core business functions to bring enterprise strategies to life through measurement and develop and quality assess business cases for key enterprise initiatives. You will lead analytical work streams, identify and deconstruct business issues, and develop strategic, analytical and financial frameworks to conduct analyses and solve critical issues with minimal oversight from project leaders. You will facilitate and manage both small and large working sessions with business stakeholders that drive to conclusions, agreements and outcomes. You will also as needed, provide strategic support on a range of executive level operations and strategic initiatives - e.g. business reviews, strategy updates, company off sites and other ad hoc cross functional and cross discipline projects.
