Director, Strategy

Job Description

• Driven to achieve
• We keep each other safe
• Our leaders serve and develop our people.
• Resilient to our core
• If you are here, you are family.

• Own the initiatives that are too important to fail and too complex for any single function to lead, working directly with the executive team to define scope, drive momentum, and deliver results
• Walk into messy, ambiguous situations and walk out with a clear diagnosis, a defensible recommendation, and a plan you're prepared to execute yourself
• Build new capabilities and ways of working where gaps exist, without waiting for full consensus or a finished blueprint

• Run the work on M&A deals, from sizing targets and stress-testing assumptions in diligence to building the integration plan that actually gets executed
• Stay on through close, own the hard post-integration work, and make sure the value the deal was built on actually shows up in the business
• Connect acquisition strategy to what the business actually needs, grounding every deal in operational and strategic reality
• Shift fluidly between strategic initiatives and M&A as priorities demand. The work drives the schedule, not the other way around.

• Work directly alongside the CEO and executive leadership team on their highest-priority problems, serving as a trusted operator who can independently take complex work from problem to resolution
• Build the materials that drive how leadership runs the business, including Monthly Operating Reviews, performance narratives, and the cadence of decision-making at the top of the company
• Develop Board-level materials that are clear and well-grounded, translating complex operational and financial reality into narratives that hold up under scrutiny
• Help leadership cut through noise, sharpen priorities, and stay focused on the decisions and actions that matter most

• Dig into commercial challenges with the same rigor as operational ones, including GTM strategy, customer retention, sales effectiveness, and revenue performance
• Embed with commercial leadership to understand what's not working and build solutions with a clear path to implementation
• Identify the biggest opportunities to improve revenue performance, margin, retention, and pricing, and pursue them with urgency

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Strategy or related field; MBA preferred but not required if your track record speaks louder.
• 5+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, corporate development, or an in-house strategy role with a strong track record of personally driving complex work to completion.
• Fluent in financial modeling and operational metrics. You can build the model, read the P&L, and know which numbers actually matter.
• Comfortable in the room with executives and comfortable on the ground with operators. You earn credibility through substance, not title.
• Structured thinker with a bias toward action. You know when to go deep on analysis and when to make a call and move forward.
• Data-driven, but not analysis-paralyzed. You know how to get to the insight quickly and use it to take a clear position.
• Proven ability to operate in high-pressure, fast-moving environments where the answers are rarely obvious and the stakes are real, with genuine ambition to grow into broader leadership.
• Adaptable. You don't need a fixed scope to be effective. You figure out what's needed and go do it.
• Sharp commercial instincts and an entrepreneurial mindset. You think like someone with skin in the game.
• High integrity. You operate with transparency, say hard things when they need to be said, and hold yourself to the same standard you hold others.
• Resilient under pressure. You stay constructive when things get hard, bring energy to the team, and keep the bigger picture in view.
