1 month ago
We are committed to fostering transparency, market integrity, economic stability, and growth. AGCO's Corporate Affairs, Policy, and Planning Division seeks a Director of Strategic Planning, Prioritization, and Corporate Performance. This role is pivotal as it involves leading AGCO's strategic and corporate planning processes and working closely with AGCO's C-suite and the business units' leaders. This is an inaugural leadership position, reflecting AGCO's maturing approach to strategic planning and performance measurement. In this role, the incumbent will be responsible for developing and implementing strategic and business plans, establishing short and long-term priorities in alignment with the agency's strategic goals, the direction of the AGCO's board and the priorities of the Ontario Government.
In addition to corporate planning, the Director will spearhead the development and implementation of agile and fit-for-purpose frameworks and methods for strategic and business planning, portfolio and project management, and initiative prioritization. Implemented frameworks and methods should enable the organization to swiftly adapt to shifting priorities or changes in the external environment, while ensuring capacity for core agency priorities. For the successful delivery against the AGCO's strategic plan and, broadly, its mandate, the Director will need to incorporate strategic insights and considerations of operational efficiency into planning, managing, and reporting on the organization's efforts.
