About The Role

• Structure and run workstreams for group strategy and strategic planning cycles (e.g., materials, analyses, storyline, alignment inputs).
• Develop strategic hypotheses, assess implications, and translate insights into clear management options and recommendations (problem solving + synthesis).
• Support the management of strategic programs and transformation projects end-to-end: scope, workplan, stakeholder cadence, synthesis, and steering documents.
• Drive “mini-PMO” routines: milestones, RAID logs, decisions, and follow-ups to keep initiatives on track.
• Establish and maintain transparent tracking of strategy execution, milestones, and (where possible) value realization logic across the portfolio of strategic initiatives.
• Create executive-ready materials (slides, one-pagers, decision memos) and support leadership alignment across functions and regions.
• Work with Corporate Development, M&A, Market & Strategic Intelligence, and (future) Process Management on shared topics, analyses, and decision preparation—ensuring consistent fact bases and coherent storylines.
  
  

Qualifications & Experience
