The Sr Strategy & Planning Manager is a senior, cross‑functional leader within the Enterprise Program Office (EPO) who connects enterprise strategy to execution through disciplined planning, decision‑ready governance, and consistent delivery practices. This role partners across business, technology, finance, and operational teams to improve how the organization identifies, prioritizes, governs, and delivers the highest‑impact enterprise initiatives while driving clarity, reducing friction and rework, and improving measurable outcomes.

Depending on business need and candidate strengths, this role may be aligned to one of the EPO pillars (Intake & Investment Planning, Portfolio Governance, Program Management, Enterprise Delivery) and/or to an enterprise domain (Customers, Employees, Platforms, Compliance).

Success is measured by improved decision readiness, stronger governance outcomes (clear decisions, tradeoffs, sequencing), improved execution predictability, and sustained value realization through KPI/benefit tracking and continuous improvement loops.

• Translate strategy into execution‑ready plans and governance by turning ambiguous inputs into structured work streams, decision packages, and clear next steps for leaders and delivery teams.

• Support lifecycle continuity and clean handoffs across intake > governance > delivery > value realization; help ensure change control, stabilization expectations, and exit criteria are understood and adopted.
• Lead cross‑functional special projects tied to enterprise priorities that require dedicated coordination, process design, stakeholder management, and structured execution.
• Perform other duties/projects as assigned based on evolving business needs.
