• Frame complex, ambiguous problems into structured analyses and clear decision paths.
• Develop perspectives on risks, sensitivities, and strategic alternatives to support leadership decisions.

• Produce high-quality, executive-level PowerPoint presentations that synthesize analysis into clear, compelling narratives.
• Apply consulting-grade structuring (storylines, hypotheses, executive summaries) tailored to senior leadership audiences.
• Distill complex quantitative and qualitative inputs into crisp recommendations and implications.

• Build and oversee robust models to support strategic analyses, including scenario planning, ROI analysis, and long-term impact assessment.
• Ensure analytical rigor while maintaining focus on strategic relevance rather than technical complexity.
• Partner closely with Finance to align assumptions, validate outputs, and ensure credibility.

• Act as a thought partner to leaders across Strategy, Finance, Product, Commercial, and Operations.
• Balance strategic thinking with practical considerations of execution within an operating company.

• Experience at a top‑tier or highly regarded management consulting firm.
• Meaningful experience in an operating company environment (strategy, corporate development, finance, product, or operational leadership roles).
• Demonstrated track record of leading strategic analyses and business cases that informed senior‑level decisions.
• Bachelor's degree required.
• MBA preferred but not required.
• Exceptional PowerPoint skills with the ability to create executive‑ready narratives independently.
• Strong Excel modelling skills used to underpin strategic arguments and recommendations.
• Advanced problem‑solving and structured thinking abilities.
• Strong business judgment and comfort operating in ambiguity.
• Ability to synthesize disparate inputs into a coherent strategic point of view.
• Strategic mindset with an execution‑aware perspective.
• High ownership, accountability, and intellectual curiosity.
• Confident communicator who can engage credibly with senior leaders.
• Comfortable moving between high‑level strategy and detailed analysis as needed.
