Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

Reporting to the VP Strategy & M&A, you will lead the development and ongoing refinement of the enterprise strategy, helping the organisation make informed decisions and translate strategic priorities into coordinated action across a global business.

Working closely with the President, Executive Management Team, and senior leaders, you will provide insight, challenge, and structure to strategic decision-making. You will coordinate enterprise strategic planning, support value creation and transformation initiatives, and contribute to the evaluation of inorganic growth opportunities through acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

What you'll be doing:

• Lead the enterprise strategy process, translating market trends, competitive insights, and business priorities into a clear strategic roadmap.

• Partner with divisional and functional leaders to align business strategies with organizational objectives and value creation goals.

• Coordinate strategic planning, governance, reporting, and performance tracking across key enterprise initiatives.

• Provide oversight and challenge across transformation, integration, and value creation programmes to help ensure successful execution.

• Act as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, helping drive critical strategic decisions across the business.

About you:

• Significant experience leading strategy engagements, enterprise strategy programmes, or value creation initiatives within a consulting, corporate strategy, private equity, or similarly complex environment.

• Strong strategic and commercial acumen, with the ability to analyze complex information and develop clear, actionable recommendations.

• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders, challenge constructively, and lead cross-functional initiatives without direct authority.

• Experience translating strategy into execution through governance, planning, transformation, or organizational change initiatives.

• Experience evaluating growth opportunities, acquisitions, or commercial diligence activities within a strategic context.

• A relevant degree or professional qualification. Experience within industrial technology, scientific instrumentation, life sciences, private equity-backed businesses, or an MBA would be advantageous.

What's in it for you

• Work directly with executive leadership on the organization’s most important strategic priorities and decisions.

• Influence enterprise-wide transformation, value creation, and growth initiatives.
