Improve execution discipline and transparency without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.

Influence and align senior stakeholders across product, technology, operations, and commercial teams.

What You Bring:

Extensive experience in strategic planning, corporate strategy, corporate development, transformation, or top-tier strategy/management consulting roles.

Strong strategic thinking and problem-solving capability, with the ability to assess complex business issues, identify key trade-offs, and shape clear recommendations for senior leaders.

Proven ab ility to translate broad strategic priorities into focused plans, sequencing, and execution choices that drive measurable business outcomes.

Excellent analytical and synthesis skills, with the ability to distil large volumes of information into concise, insight-led, decision-ready materials.

Strong commercial and organisational judgement, including experience supporting prioritisation , business cases, value creation narratives, and portfolio-level decision making.

Proven ability to operate as a senior individual contributor in complex, matrixed organisations , influencing senior stakeholders without formal authority.

Strong executive-level communication skills, with confidence shaping narratives, challenging constructively, and bringing clarity to ambiguous or fast-moving situations.

Experience in financial services, enterprise technology, or other regulated environments is preferred.

A pragmatic, outcomes-focused mindset with a strong sense of ownership, pace, and accountability.

We are proud to offer a range of incentives to our employees worldwide. These benefits are available to everyone, regardless of grade, and reflect the values we stand for:

Flexibility: Enjoy unlimited vacation, subject to local regulations and business priorities. Benefit from hybrid working arrangements and inclusive policies such as paid time off for voting, bereavement, and sick leave.
