This role is designed for a high-caliber strategist who can help frame difficult, ambiguous, and cross-enterprise problems, and work collaboratively across the company to design the "next layer down" activities and operations that underpin our enterprise strategy. This role sits in SAIC's Corporate Strategy team, bridging the gap between broad, high-level enterprise vision and actionable, structured strategy implementation. You will work side-by-side with functional and Business Group executives to dive into the tactical details, build consensus, and actively identify and close the operational gaps required to make our enterprise strategy work in practice.
