Job Description

The Strategic Planning Lead Consultant helps shape and deliver enterprise priorities by bringing structure, focus, and momentum to complex, cross-functional work. This role partners across business, and technology teams to align priorities, manage dependencies, and accelerate decision-making.

A critical aspect of this role is enabling clarity through communication—distilling complex work into concise, actionable narratives that align stakeholders, identify and overcome barriers, and support executive decisions. This is not a communications function, but a strategic integration role that uses communication as a lever to drive outcomes.

This role also embraces emerging technologies, including AI, to enhance day-to-day productivity, improve decision-making, and streamline how work gets done.

Successful candidates will demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, comfort navigating ambiguity, and a consistent bias toward action and results.

Key Responsibilities 

• Drive strategy into action: Translate enterprise priorities into clear plans, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes that advance business objectives. 
• Accelerate alignment and decisions: Bring together cross-functional stakeholders, frame trade-offs, and move teams from discussion to decision. 
• Manage complexity at scale: Identify and coordinate dependencies, proactively surface risks, and drive mitigation strategies. 
• Strengthen execution discipline: Establish governance, tracking, and accountability mechanisms that bring transparency to progress and outcomes. 
• Enable clarity through communication: Synthesize complex information into clear, concise narratives that align stakeholders and support decisions. 
• Leverage AI to enhance impact: Use AI and modern tools to streamline workflows, generate insights, and improve speed, quality, and effectiveness of day-to-day work. 
• Influence across teams: Build strong relationships and align leaders through data-driven storytelling, structured problem-solving, and effective facilitation. 
• Engage senior leadership: Provide sharp, outcome-focused updates and insights that inform direction, unblock decisions, and shape results. 

Essential Skills

• 5 or more years of experience with strategic planning, product coordination or product management.
• Strong knowledge of digital programs at an enterprise level
• Experience working within large, complex organizational environments
• Strong proficiency with Agile tools, including Jira, Confluence, Digital.ai, or comparable technologies
• Experience leveraging AI to drive productivity and optimize processes
• Background or familiarity with the financial services and insurance industry (preferred)
