The Director, Strategy and Corporate Development will play a critical role supporting NIQ’s growth agenda, strategic initiatives, supporting mergers and acquisition, and executive-level projects end-to-end. This role is ideal for a seasoned professional with 7-10 years of experience who can independently lead deal processes and drive broader strategy and transformation efforts, while shaping the agenda alongside senior leadership.

  • Help drive the three-year planning process
  • Comfortable operating at all altitudes — from high-level strategy with executives to digging into details alongside ICs
  • Thrive in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments with evolving priorities
  • Proficiency with modern AI tools and workflows - or the curiosity and initiative to learn and apply them independently
  • Author and present executive- and board-level materials, including recommendations on strategic direction and capital allocation
  • Partner with business leaders to translate strategy into actionable plans
Corporate Development & M&A
  • Lead cross-functional diligence teams (Finance, Legal, Product, Tech, HR), setting workplan, cadence, and escalation paths
