About The Role

The Commercial Strategy team within Delivery Commercial Operations helps Commercial and DCO Leadership make faster, better decisions.

• Lead cross-functional work with Commercial, Sales Planning, Finance, Operations, Product, and regional or LOB partners
• Influence senior stakeholders through clear narratives, constructive challenges, and practical recommendations grounded in business context
• Design reusable frameworks, assumptions logs, intervention trackers, and decision artifacts that raise the quality and speed of recurring work
• Use AI tools to accelerate research, automate repetitive analysis, pressure-test recommendations, and build reusable workflows, while validating outputs and remaining accountable for the final work
• Lead assigned components of monthly and quarterly performance reviews, planning cycles, and post-decision learning reviews

AI Expectations

AI fluency is evaluated through operating judgment rather than tool familiarity. Strong candidates use AI to improve speed and quality, disclose material use, verify outputs, protect confidential information, and explain where human judgment changed or overrode the tool's output. The recommendation and its defensibility remain the candidate's responsibility.
