Sr Strategy & Planning Associate, Global S&P

Location: New York

About

The Role

The Global Strategy and Planning team's core mission is to unlock growth for the Delivery business by driving strategic alignment and executional excellence across all regions. As a Strategy & Planning Lead, you will own the analytical and strategic backbone of how the Delivery leadership team measures performance, makes decisions, and tells its story — from Monthly Business Reviews to Board of Directors presentations.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who combines rigorous analytical thinking with the ability to independently structure complex problems and deliver refined, executive-ready output with minimal direction.

What You'll Do Leadership Forums & Executive Presence

Own end-to-end preparation and delivery of critical leadership forums — including Monthly Business Reviews, Board of Directors presentations, ELT reviews, and Leadership Summits — for the entire Delivery organization. Go beyond packaging data: bring a point of view on what the business needs to hear, anticipate leadership questions, and ensure every forum drives a clear decision or action.

Business Performance & Deep Diagnostics

Define, build, and maintain the performance monitoring infrastructure for Global Delivery. Go deep on the data — identify not just what is happening but why, separating signal from noise and surfacing non‑obvious insights that are directly relevant to senior leadership priorities. Independently scope and execute complex analyses across large datasets, translating findings into actionable recommendations with clear business implications.

Strategic Insights & Communication

Develop board‑ready narratives, written memos, and presentations that distill complex, multi‑dimensional business performance into clear, compelling stories. The standard is not “technically correct” — it is “genuinely insightful and immediately useful to an executive.” Independently manage the full arc from problem framing to recommendation, with the judgment to know what matters and the craft to communicate it precisely.

Senior Stakeholder Management

Operate as a trusted thought partner to senior and executive‑level stakeholders across Delivery leadership, Finance, Commercial, Operations, and Product. Proactively manage stakeholder expectations, resolve conflicting priorities across functions, and maintain alignment on business priorities and planning milestones — often without formal authority and across complex organizational structures.

Structured Problem Solving & Independent Ownership

Take on ambiguous, high‑priority strategic problems and drive them to resolution independently. Structure the problem, identify the right analytical approach, align stakeholders, and deliver outputs that move decisions forward. Bring a consulting‑grade rigor to problem decomposition while staying grounded in operational realities and execution speed.

Cross‑Functional Leadership

Lead — not just participate in — cross‑functional initiatives spanning commercial, operations, product, finance, and regional teams. Proactively identify dependencies, broker alignment, and hold teams accountable to shared timelines and outcomes. Represent the Global S&P team with credibility and authority in senior cross‑functional forums.
