This role is responsible for ensuring that weekly strategic forums—where the Group’s Big Bets are reviewed with the Senior Management Team—are action‑oriented, high‑quality, and outcome‑driven.

You will play a pivotal role in challenging assumptions, prioritizing initiatives, elevating the quality of strategic materials, and ensuring that progress, risks, and blockers are proactively surfaced and addressed.

• Lead the preparation and facilitation of the weekly Big Bets forum with the Senior Management Team, ensuring discussions are impact‑focused, action‑driven, and aligned to key results.
• Implement and maintain robust tracking of all Big Bets, including progress, risks, blockers, and mitigation plans, ensuring clear visibility for senior management.
• Elevate the quality of strategic discussions and outputs by guiding initiative leads on content expectations, formats, and outcome‑focused storytelling.
• Drive a shift from reporting to impact by ensuring initiatives are measured by clear key results and corrective actions are identified and followed through.
• Synthesize and escalate critical insights and recommendations to the Strategy Director and SMT to support timely decision‑making.
• Lead continuous improvement efforts across strategic performance management, embedding best practices and fostering a culture of accountability and excellence.

• Strong strategic thinking and problem‑solving capabilities.
• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex information and derive insights.
• Confident communicator with the ability to challenge constructively and influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Highly structured, organized, and detail‑oriented, with a strong sense of ownership.
• Ability to work cross‑functionally and collaboratively in a fast‑moving environment.
• Comfortable preparing executive‑level materials and facilitating senior‑level forums.
• Experience in strategy, transformation, PMO, or performance management is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency with dashboards, performance tracking tools, and data‑driven decision‑making.
