You will be embedded within a business unit cluster, operating as a strategic partner who transforms ambiguity into action.

CORE MANDATE:

• Own annual strategic planning for the assigned business unit cluster — market sizing, competitive landscaping, and opportunity assessment.
• Translate strategic plans into actionable roadmaps with clear milestones, resource requirements, and success metrics.
• Lead strategic projects spanning product launches, pricing strategy, and market expansion.
• Act as the strategic bridge between business units and central leadership, aligning priorities across teams.
• Define leading and lagging indicators for strategic health and build dashboards that surface the right signals.
• Prepare executive presentations and board-level materials that drive decision-making at the top.

• Lead strategic projects — product launches, pricing strategy, market expansion
• Build robust financial models and business cases for new opportunities
• Identify white spaces and adjacencies for growth
• Partner with Sales, Product and Operations to convert strategy into measurable outcomes

C. CROSS-FUNCTIONAL LEADERSHIP

• Act as the strategic bridge between business units and central leadership
• Collaborate with Finance, Product and Operations on cross-functional initiatives
• Influence decision-making without direct authority
• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels

D. PERFORMANCE & INSIGHTS

• Define leading and lagging indicators for strategic health; build dashboards for leadership
