Role Summary:

The Corporate Strategy Manager is a seasoned strategist who will lead and collaborate with various teams through working groups and steering committees on a range of high-priority initiatives for the organization. At times, the Manager will be expected to operate autonomously and undertake all necessary tasks to ensure successful outcomes. This position will require the establishment of robust partnerships with business leaders and colleagues by delivering exceptional business consulting and strategic support. Over time, this role will oversee a team of skilled corporate development professionals.

This position will be situated within the Finance & Corporate Services department, specifically on the Corporate Development team, reporting to the Vice President of Corporate Development.

The role may also collaborate with the Fidelity Business Consulting team at FIL for broader Fidelity International objectives. The team's human capital is regarded as 'fungible' and aligned with business priorities, needs, and initiatives as they arise, similar to external consultancy firm models.

Key Responsibilities:

This is accomplished by cultivating strong relationships with these client groups while addressing the needs and interests of all stakeholders. The team holds a prominent position within the firm, having earned respect from senior stakeholders, and possesses a unique perspective from which to lead strategic analyses and projects across the organization.

  • Business Consulting: Provide high-quality business consulting services and guidance to senior-level stakeholders in the region, supporting the achievement of Fidelity's strategic objectives.
  • Strategy Development: Independently lead and contribute to initiatives aimed at assessing, developing, and executing effective strategies for businesses across Fidelity Canada.
  • Corporate Development: Assist Fidelity Canada in sourcing, qualifying, conducting due diligence, and executing corporate development actions (e.g., mergers, acquisitions, divestments, joint ventures, partnerships) within Canada.
  • Market Research: Generate insights from trends, disruptions, innovations, and challenges that may affect our industry, markets, clients, and business propositions, utilizing knowledge of Fidelity and our corporate ecosystem to determine potential impacts and responses.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Design, contribute to, and lead presentations, report on progress, and facilitate discussions with working teams, Steering Committees, and Fidelity Canada's executive team.
  • Team Leadership: Effectively manage internal teams to design and deliver against project objectives while empowering and developing individuals within the Corporate Development team.

Qualifications:

  • Post-secondary education or equivalent work experience.
  • A Master's or graduate-level degree, preferably a Master of Business Administration (MBA).
  • 8+ years of professional experience, including 3+ years in business consulting, strategy & planning, or corporate development roles.
  • Experience in the Financial Services industry is preferred, with a solid foundational understanding of the global asset and wealth management sector, including retail and workplace investing, competitive landscape, products/propositions, client segments, and regulatory environment.
  • CSC (Canadian Securities Course) is an asset but not required.

Desired Skills:

  • Extensive experience utilizing core strategy consulting skills; adept problem-solver.
  • Familiarity with business strategy and innovation frameworks used in advising businesses seeking to implement new strategies.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills: confidence and ability to engage with and appropriately challenge senior managers.
  • Exceptional project management skills.
  • Ability to influence without direct authority.
  • Independent, inquisitive, and willing to take risks; able to thrive in a fast-paced environment where business conditions and projects have tight deadlines and can frequently change.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Applications, particularly Excel and PowerPoint.
  • High level of financial acumen.
  • Ability to build relationships across various business functions and levels; demonstrated experience navigating large, multi-disciplinary organizations.
