Full-Time Administrative El Segundo, CA, US

2 days ago Requisition

Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

This position will require the applicant to work 3-days per week at our op center located in El Segundo, CA.

The position is a dedicated strategy role at Kinecta and is responsible for the analytical and program engine behind enterprise strategy: the annual and long-range strategic planning process, the enterprise OKR framework, initiative tracking and benefits realization, competitive and market intelligence, and merger, acquisition and partnership evaluation. The position serves as an internal strategy consultant to the executive management team, scoping ambiguous business questions, building the fact base and financial analysis required to answer them, and converting that analysis into recommendations that executives and the Board can act on.

The position works with a minimal amount of supervision and direction, is self-motivated, and is authorized to take reasonable actions necessary to carry out the assigned responsibilities of the position, provided that such action is consistent with cost-effective practices and with the policy and procedures of Kinecta Federal Credit Union.

The position operates across every division of the Credit Union and its CUSOs, engages regularly with the executive management team, and prepares material presented to the Board of Directors.

This position has no direct supervisory responsibilities. The incumbent is expected to lead cross-functional project teams, direct the work of resources assigned to strategic initiatives, and set analytical standards for contributors outside their reporting line. As the enterprise strategy function matures, this position may be expanded to include direct reports.

• Builds the analytical pre-work that makes the planning conversation productive: macroeconomic and industry outlook, PESTLE trend assessment, peer benchmarking, balance sheet and earnings trajectory scenarios, and quantified sizing of the strategic options on the table.
• Translates strategic direction into a costed, sequenced multi-year roadmap, and works with Finance to reconcile that roadmap to the financial plan so that strategy and budget describe the same institution.
• Maintains the strategic plan as a living document between planning cycles, refreshing assumptions as conditions change and surfacing where the plan and reality have diverged.

Enterprise OKR and Initiative Tracking Duties:

• Administers the enterprise OKR framework: intake and validation of objectives and key results against the Credit Union’s admission standard (stated baseline, numeric target, specific due date, named single owner, and outcome rather than activity), maintenance of the OKR register, and enforcement of check-in cadence.
• Produces the monthly executive pack and the quarterly Board roll-up
• Maintains the…
