U.S. Bank is looking for a Technology Strategy Consultant to help shape enterprise‑wide technology direction and influence how technology supports business priorities across the bank. This role sits within the Technology Strategy & Transformation organization and is designed for a senior strategy practitioner who operates autonomously, excels in research and synthesis, and communicates with confidence and clarity at the executive level.

This role is intentionally strategy‑first and advisory in nature, serving as a key contributor to enterprise technology strategy through research‑driven insights and executive‑ready viewpoints. The individual operates upstream of implementation, partnering closely with executive‑level technology leaders and senior stakeholders to shape and communicate technology strategy, translate complex and ambiguous inputs into clear strategic narratives, and connect enterprise priorities to technology direction—without owning delivery, program management, or day‑to‑day execution.

Main Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted technology strategy adviser to executive‑level technology leaders and senior stakeholders.
• Independently research, gather, and synthesize internal and external information on emerging technologies, industry trends, peer activity, and strategic threats.
• Translate complex, multi‑source inputs into clear insights, strategic viewpoints, and executive‑ready narratives in real time.
• Build models, frameworks, and storytelling artifacts that connect technology capabilities to business outcomes and enterprise strategy.
• Partner with leaders across the organization to shape and refine enterprise technology strategy, operating with minimal oversight.
• Support alignment between enterprise strategy, technology strategy, and downstream execution teams, without owning execution.

• Maintain a strong foundational understanding of modern technologies and how they interconnect, without acting as a hands‑on architect or coder.
• Demonstrate strong executive presence, sound judgment, and the ability to influence effectively in live executive discussions.

Must‑Have Skills

• 5+ years of relevant, progressive experience.
• Strong consulting or internal strategy background with demonstrated experience operating in ambiguous, senior‑stakeholder environments.
• Experience in, or deep exposure to, financial services or large, complex, regulated enterprises.
• Proven ability to advise senior leaders on technology strategy, not manage programs, delivery, or implementation.
• Demonstrated strength in real‑time synthesis, executive storytelling, and on‑the‑spot strategic communication.
• Strong understanding of modern technology concepts and how technologies interconnect at an enterprise level.
• Ability to independently research, analyze, and synthesize information from multiple sources into clear strategic recommendations.
• Excellent executive communication skills with a confident, polished executive presence.
• Ability to build credibility quickly and operate autonomously with limited coaching or structure.
• Forward‑looking, research‑driven mindset with strong judgment and intellectual curiosity.

Preferred Skills

• Business architecture experience or certification.
• Experience aligning business capabilities to enterprise or technology strategy.
• Comfort using data to support strategic storytelling (e.g., Power BI or similar tools).
• Prior experience supporting board‑level or…
