Job Description Summary

Strategy & Operations (StratOps) is a newly established function within the Office of the Chief Operating and Financial Officer (COFO). It helps Enterprise prioritize, resource, govern, and deliver its most important cross-divisional work — bringing together project management, portfolio management, execution, and resource allocation in one place, without replacing division or Shared Services ownership. StratOpsfocuses the organization on a defined set of strategic priorities that require coordination, tradeoffs, and sustained execution.

Job Description

It has three areas of focus:

• Enterprise PMO: Leads enterprise prioritization and portfolio management, drives implementation of the Strategic Plan, and leads enterprise-wide special projects
• Innovation Fund: Governs how Enterprise invests capital from an internal innovation fund to bring its most promising mission-driven ideas to scale
• Shared Services PMO: Provides portfolio management, project management, and execution support across Enterprise’s corporate Shared Services functions — such as Finance, Treasury, IT, and Enterprise Risk Management

Based in New York, this is a hybrid role. The Sr. Manager, Strategy & Operations provides flexible execution capacity across theStratOpsfunction, supporting execution on the function’s highest-priority, cross-divisional initiatives and helping translate prioritized work into structured plans, coordinated action, and measurable progress. Because the function is still being built, this role is a chance to roll up your sleeves and help create the tools, trackers, and operating rhythms we rely on —we’relooking for an entrepreneurial doer who is energized by building. Rather than sitting within a single vertical, the role is deployed across the function’s priorities based on organization-wide needs, working closely with Enterprise PMO, Innovation Fund, and Shared Services PMO and gaining broad exposure across the team’s most important work.

Note: This role is designed as a senior individual contributor and is not currently envisioned as a people management role.

• Track progress, risks, and dependencies across active initiatives, and help resolve or escape issues before they slow delivery
• Prepare the agendas, pre-reads, and follow-ups for the function’s operating rhythms — quarterly reviews, leadership meetings, and decision forums

Targeted support to each vertical

• Enterprise PMO: support prioritization and portfolio management work
• Innovation Fund: support RAF analysis and the preparation of diligence and decision materials
• Shared Services PMO: help track and coordinate the Shared Services project portfolio, and provide hands-on support on specific Shared Services operational projects as needed
