Sr. Business & Portfolio Strategy Analyst Job Framingham area,Massachusetts USA,Business

Job Description About the Opportunity

We are seeking an exceptional emerging strategy professional to help shape the future of a $3B global consumer electronics business. Our business spans the full consumer value chain—from consumer insights, product strategy, design, and development through marketing, sales, and supply chain. This creates a unique opportunity to influence both long‑term business direction and the product portfolio choices that drive growth and profitability.

This role is ideal for someone who combines structured strategic thinking, exceptional written communication, analytical curiosity, and a highly collaborative working style. The successful candidate will be comfortable starting with an ambiguous business question, working across functions to define the problem, developing frameworks and hypotheses, and identifying the data and insights needed to test potential solutions. Equally important, they must be able to distill complex strategies and analyses into clear, persuasive written narratives that support decisions at the executive and Board of Directors level.

We are particularly interested in candidates with a foundation in top‑tier management consulting who are eager to move from advising businesses to directly influencing strategic choices and outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Problem Framing & Hypothesis Development Lead the structured definition of complex, often ambiguous business problems, translating broad strategic questions into clear issues, analytical frameworks, and testable hypotheses. Collaborate closely with functional leaders and subject matter experts to develop an understanding of the business, challenge assumptions, and identify the most important questions to answer. Apply hypothesis‑driven problem‑solving techniques to focus analytical efforts on the highest‑impact issues.

Identify relevant internal and external data sources, determine what evidence is needed, and develop practical approaches to testing hypotheses. Synthesize quantitative and qualitative findings, refining hypotheses as new information emerges. Balance analytical rigor with pragmatism, recognizing when sufficient evidence exists to support a strategic recommendation.

Executive Communication & Strategic Storytelling Translate complex strategic thinking, business analyses, and cross‑functional inputs into concise, compelling written narratives for senior executives and the Board of Directors. Develop high‑quality strategy memoranda, executive briefs, decision papers, and strategic recommendations that make complicated issues easy to understand. Structure communications around clear conclusions, supporting evidence, strategic implications, and decisions required. Distill large amounts of information into the essential insights, trade‑offs, and recommendations without losing critical nuance.

Tailor communications to different audiences, from working‑level teams to executive leadership and the Board. Establish a high standard for clarity, precision, logical flow, and persuasive business writing.

Business Unit & Product Portfolio Strategy Support development of the business unit's multi-year strategy, including growth opportunities, competitive positioning, market priorities, and investment choices. Partner with Product Management, Consumer Insights, Finance, and other functions to develop and refine product portfolio strategies. Evaluate consumer needs, market dynamics, competitive trends, product economics, and portfolio performance to inform strategic decisions. Develop business cases and strategic scenarios to evaluate growth opportunities, portfolio alternatives, and resource allocation.
