Head of Executive Search at The Barton Partnership

We’re seeking a commercially astute and strategically minded Strategy Director to join a high-impact Corporate Development team. This is a unique opportunity to shape the long-term direction of a global business, working directly with executive leadership on high-priority initiatives.

You’ll play a key role in strategic planning, market intelligence, and corporate-level prioritization—bringing clarity to complexity and helping drive decisions that define the future.

This is a key role in a senior team, and is an individual contributor, so it is essential that you are willing to be hands-on and able to deliver without the support of direct reports.

Key Responsibilities

• Supporting the SVP Strategy & Corporate Development in the development and refinement of long-term corporate strategy in collaboration with the Executive Committee and senior leaders.
• Evaluate growth opportunities, competitive positioning, and industry dynamics.
• Drive the annual strategic planning process and develop a five-year strategic plan and financial model.
• Deliver data-driven insights, scenario analysis, and strategic recommendations.
• Monitor macroeconomic trends and competitor activity to inform strategic direction.
• Develop investment theses and strategic rationales for organic growth and M&A.
• Partner with Investor Relations to align internal and external strategic messaging.

What We’re Looking For

• 7–12 years’ experience in strategy consulting only, or consulting combined with corporate strategy (ideally within industrials or adjacent sectors).
• Proven track record in strategic planning, business analysis, and cross-functional leadership.
• Strong analytical and commercial acumen with the ability to distil complex issues into actionable insights.
• Executive presence and communication skills, with experience influencing senior stakeholders.
• Proactive, resourceful, and thrives in a lean, high-performing team.
• Familiarity with M&A and financial modelling.

Why Join Us?

This is a high-impact role with regular exposure to C-suite stakeholders. You’ll be part of a lean, dynamic team that sits at the heart of strategic decision-making in a global business—where your insights will directly shape the company’s future.
