You will manage a growing team of Strategy Managers focused on rigorous data analysis, strategic plan development, project plan management/execution, and executive-level reporting and communication.

Projects will vary in scope, from weeks to multi-month engagements, requiring adaptability and depth in analysis
- Strategic Planning and Execution: Spearhead the annual strategic planning process, defining and owning the long-term vision and strategy. This includes setting clear timelines, coordinating cross-functional inputs, and identifying key initiatives and programs critical to our future success
- Product Strategy and Prioritization: Direct the development and prioritization of both product and commercial roadmaps, ensuring alignment with annual planning objectives and responding dynamically to market demands as necessary
- Market Research and Competitive Analysis: Assume full responsibility for conducting thorough competitive analyses and market research. Maintain an expert level of industry knowledge to inform strategic initiatives and decision-making processes
- Leadership and Team Development: Lead and nurture a team of three strategists, fostering an environment of growth, innovation, and strategic excellence

**Recipe For Success**:

- A strategic and critical thinker with a broad perspective, capable of understanding and integrating complex issues within the wider organizational and market context
- A relationship-first approach, with a proven ability to build and maintain strong, productive relationships across all levels of an organization
- Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to distill complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives, facilitating decision-making and strategic alignment
