Manager, Strategy & Planning (Growth & Scholar Talent)

Responsibilities

• Translate high-level, multi-year organizational scaling blueprints into rigorous operational management plans, establishing critical cross-functional tracking cadences and outcome-based targets.
• Lead and align cross-functional teams through sophisticated project dependency mapping, driving outcomes through influence and accountability rather than direct authority.
• Continuous diagnostic evaluation of lifecycle projects; identify operational bottlenecks and design seamless, tech-forward, and repeatable systems/infrastructure.
• Synthesize large amounts of operational data and team insights into masterfully crafted executive memos, briefings, and presentations tailored for senior network leadership and the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).
• Wear multiple hats as part of a lean, high-performance strategy team—using data, best practices, and a creative problem-solving mindset to tackle shifting organizational priorities and new strategic tasks as needed.

Requirements

• Possess an Advanced Private/Strategic Profile: 4-6+ years of rigorous experience in management consulting, corporate finance, startup scale-ups, or highly analytical strategy roles within high-performance organizations.
• Proven track record of designing complex, heavily matrixed workflows, mapping dependencies backward from hard deadlines, and building operational systems from scratch.
• Demonstrated ability to create highly effective slide decks and synthesize dense operational data into crisp executive prose for senior leadership.
• Deep experience leveraging automated project management tools (e.g., Monday.com), CRM frameworks, and advanced G-Suite analytics to clean and optimize funnel workflows. Experience using AI tools (Claude Cowork, Lovable, Gemini) preferred, but not required.
• Mindset of extreme flexibility, open-mindedness, and humility—willing to put the team's goals above individual tasks while relentlessly sweating the details.

Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Business Administration, Economics, Statistics, or related field.
• Experience with data analysis and project management software.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and iterative development processes.
