Salary: Up to £60,000 depending on experience
I’m working with an established UK manufacturer that is investing in its strategy capability as it enters an important period of growth and transformation.
They are looking for a Business Strategy Manager to work closely with the Head of Business Strategy and senior leaders across the organisation.
This is a broad role with exposure to growth strategy, commercial decision-making, investment cases, strategic projects and business planning. It would suit someone who enjoys taking complex problems, working through the data and turning that analysis into clear recommendations and action.
You do not necessarily need to come from a traditional corporate strategy background. Strong candidates could come from strategy, consulting, commercial, finance, analytics or business planning environments.
The role
You will:
- Support senior leaders in defining and delivering strategic priorities
- Lead strategic projects focused on growth, value creation and business performance
- Carry out market analysis and assess new commercial opportunities
- Support product and portfolio strategy
- Develop business cases, investment proposals and strategic recommendations
- Support partnership, business development and potential M&A activity
- Contribute to transformation and operating model projects
- Coordinate strategy governance, executive reporting and progress against strategic objectives
- Turn complex data into clear commercial insight and recommendations
- Work across multiple functions and influence senior stakeholders
What we’re looking for
You will ideally have experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Corporate or business strategy
- Strategic finance or FP&A
- Management consulting
- Business planning
- Data and analytics
- Transformation
You should be comfortable working with ambiguity and able to combine analytical thinking with strong commercial judgement.
Experience building business cases, evaluating investments or leading strategic projects would be particularly valuable.
You will also need to be confident presenting recommendations, challenging senior stakeholders constructively and getting people aligned behind a clear direction.
Experience in manufacturing, energy, utilities, engineering or another technically complex environment would be useful, but is not essential.
Why consider it?
This is a chance to move into a broad business strategy role with genuine exposure to senior leadership.
You will be involved in some of the organisation’s most important decisions around growth, investment and future direction, rather than sitting in a narrow planning or reporting role.
For someone currently working in strategic planning, commercial finance, analytics or consulting, it could offer a strong route into a wider corporate strategy remit.
