  • Industry and competitive assessments: develop insights to drive business and execution strategy
  • Discussion / debate facilitation: effectively structure and lead conversations to generate actionable outcomes and progress
  • Strategic consulting support: serve as internal advisor to leadership / other cross-functional teams and promote agile ways of working
  • Influence and engage senior management and business peers: develop and communicate POV on strategic direction and actions to be taken using the power of data, insights, and the integration of holistic analysis
  • Stakeholder management: identify, influence, align, and engage key stakeholders
  • Talent development: leverage your experience to coach, develop, and upskill other team members across Strategic Growth and NAOU

  • Demonstrated expertise in driving analytical approaches and insights while navigating multiple data and insight sources
