You will lead high‑impact projects across strategic planning, market and competitive analysis, and M&A, applying judgement to ambiguous problems and ensuring outputs meet a consistently high quality bar.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable delivering clear, concise insights and presenting strategic recommendations to senior leadership.

• Own delivery of discrete strategic projects from problem definition through to CEO‑ready recommendation
• Lead market, customer, and competitive analyses to produce clear, decision‑relevant insight
• Develop and quality‑control executive‑level materials for Board and ExCo audiences
• Build and review robust financial models and business cases to support investment and portfolio decisions
• Lead and coordinate cross‑functional inputs across Finance, Product, Technology, and Commercial teams
• Drive M&A and partnership evaluations, including strategic rationale, valuation analysis, and executive recommendation
• Manage multiple concurrent priorities, ensuring nothing drops on quality, pace, or ownership
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders through consistent delivery and sound judgement
• Coach and develop Associates, setting high standards and building long‑term capability in the team
  This is an exciting opportunity for a high‑performing, analytical, and collaborative individual looking to grow their impact in a dynamic, global environment.
