We are seeking a dynamic, execution-oriented Sr., Strategic Initiatives Manager to drive the most complex, high-priority cross-functional programs across the organization. This role reports to the Vice President, Business Excellence.
This is a role for someone who operates at the intersection of strategic clarity and disciplined execution, a leader who can take ambiguous, high-stakes initiatives from whiteboard to measurable outcomes. You bring a sharp lens for business strategy and data-driven insights, not as an end in themselves, but as the foundation for making smart decisions and driving alignment. You think in systems, lead through influence, and actively leverage AI and intelligent agents to multiply your impact.
This role is best suited for someone who thrives in complexity, has a track record of moving organizations forward on work that spans functions and defies clean ownership – and who is energized by building new muscle in a high-growth SaaS environment.
What You'll Do
Identify, frame, and solve high-priority business problems across the organization. Defining the right question before designing the solution, and driving that solution through to measurable outcomes
Lead these strategic priorities end to end: not just coordinating workstreams, but actively shaping the approach, making tradeoff decisions, and ensuring the work lands with real impact
Design solutions to complex cross-functional challenges and gaps, bringing structure to ambiguous problems and building the operational and organizational logic needed to move forward
Apply a strategy and insights lens to all initiative work: use data, market context, and business fundamentals to sharpen problem framing, pressure-test assumptions, and ground recommendations in sound logic

What You'll Bring
5+ years of experience in management or strategy consulting, business transformation, or strategic operations roles — ideally in or around the software or technology industry
Demonstrated track record of leading complex, cross-functional initiatives end to end, with measurable outcomes and the ability to navigate organizational ambiguity
Strong business strategy and data-driven insights acumen: able to use data and market context to sharpen decisions without needing to personally own the analysis
Familiarity with SaaS business models and the levers that drive product adoption, expansion, and retention
Actively AI-first in how you work: comfortable identifying where AI tools and agents can replace or accelerate manual effort, and building that habit across your work
Exceptional executive communication and storytelling skills (written, verbal, and visual) with the ability to synthesize complexity into crisp narratives for senior audiences
Strong facilitation and influence skills; able to drive alignment across senior stakeholders without direct authority
High bias for action, strong intellectual curiosity, and a collaborative working style with low ego
Bachelor's degree required; MBA or relevant advanced degree a plus. Prior consulting experience strongly preferred
