The Opportunity Black & Veatch is seeking an exceptional strategy leader to help shape the long-term growth agenda for its Power Providers sector while remaining part of the Enterprise Strategy organization. Reporting directly to the Chief Strategy Officer, the Director, Enterprise Strategy — Power Providers will serve as the dedicated strategic partner to Power Providers leadership, helping define where Black & Veatch should compete, how it should invest, which capabilities it should build, and how it should translate market opportunity into profitable growth.

This leader will support strategic work across the Power Providers ecosystem, including advanced power generation, thermal and nuclear readiness, transmission, substations, distribution, grid modernization, communications networks, BESS, solar, lifecycle services, infrastructure advisory, program management, and emerging integrated energy solutions.

The Director will report to the Chief Strategy Officer and be embedded as a primary strategy partner to Power Providers leadership.

The role will lead a defined portfolio of strategy priorities, frame strategic choices, develop recommendations, facilitate executive decisions, and help establish the roadmaps, measures, governance, and stakeholder alignment required to turn those decisions into measurable results.
