Are you ready for new challenges? Can you bring together the right balance of problem-solving rigor, people skills, and pragmatism to turn your thinking into decisions and actions?

You are a part of the Strategy team who work together with Philips Businesses, Markets and other functional teams on high impact projects with a mandate from the Philips Executive Committee. This is a central team that drives deep business insights, gives actionable strategic direction and thought leadership for the company. The Strategy team consists of top-level strategists with wide-ranging backgrounds, nationalities, and competencies, based out of 2 global hubs located in Amsterdam and Boston.

As a result, a newly formed group received full Executive Committee support for an ambitious growth strategy.
