Enterprise Execution Lead

Reports to the Hertz Chief of Staff and sits within the Office of the CEO.

Hertz is transforming from a traditional rental car company into a modern mobility platform powered by data, technology, and operational excellence. Our strategy focuses on optimizing fleet economics, accelerating the digital customer experience, expanding off-airport and mobility partnerships, and unlocking new value from our global fleet platform.

To drive this transformation, we are building a Strategy & Execution Office within the Office of the CEO; a small, high-impact team responsible for setting enterprise priorities and ensuring they are executed with speed, rigor, and measurable results.

Enterprise Strategy & Execution Leads are the operators who make this transformation real. They sit at the center of the company's most important decisions and initiatives, owning the end-to-end orchestration of enterprise-critical work that directly impacts Hetz's strategy and financial performance.

This is a high-visibility role partnering directly with senior executives across the company.

This role is not traditional corporate strategy or a traditional PMO. It's both; deciding what matters most and making sure it gets done.
