Job summary

Ensono seeks a Senior Director of Strategy & Execution who will translate strategy into action, own critical initiatives, and influence executive decisions. You will collaborate with the CEO, ELT and board, shaping the annual strategy and running the initiative portfolio.

As a strategic leader, you’ll drive the executive operating rhythm, oversee strategic analysis, and help build an AI-enabled strategy office, delivering crisp executive summaries and content for leadership forums.

Qualifications

• 10 or more years in corporate strategy, strategy operations, consulting, corporate development or a chief‑of‑staff role, including 3 or more working directly with C‑suite executives.
• A track record of running an enterprise planning or strategic initiative process across multiple functions, including portfolio governance, decision gates and executive readouts.
• Evidence of original strategic thinking: ideas you originated that changed a company’s direction, offerings or operating model.
• Strong structured problem solving and financial fluency: business cases, P&L and EBITDA impact, contract economics and investment theses.
• Executive‑grade communication, from a six‑page narrative memo to a one‑slide board summary.
• The ability to lead without authority and hold senior leaders accountable, often people more senior than you.
• The presence to sit in senior leaders’ staff meetings as both listener and contributor, and the judgment to know what to share and what stays in the room.
• Rigorous program management habits (charters, plans, risk logs, status reporting) used as a means rather than the end.
• Hands‑on fluency with AI productivity tools, data and dashboards.
• Absolute discretion with confidential information, including transactions, board matters and personnel.
• A bachelor’s degree.
• 10% travel requirement, primarily for executive strategy sessions, advisory council meetings, client engagements and acquisition diligence
