Your projects range from global initiatives at the Philips level to high‑impact strategic questions within specific business units or markets, enabling and orchestrating strategy planning and execution processes across the organization.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive strategic project workstreams, delivering high‑quality, evidence‑based business analyses and actionable recommendations that influence executive decision‑making.
• Identify emerging trends, competitive landscape, and potential opportunities for growth through meaningful, evidence‑based analyses.
• Build and communicate actionable strategy recommendations, presenting them to senior management audiences.
• Provide strategic guidance to cross‑functional teams, ensuring alignment of initiatives with the overall enterprise and business strategic direction.
