Sr. Manager, Strategy and Integration

Job Summary

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Senior Manager, Strategy and Integration supports the Americas Strategy & Portfolio Growth agenda by helping move the region’s most important priorities forward. The role works closely with the Senior Director and cross-functional leaders to turn open questions into clear analysis, decision-ready recommendations, and an execution cadence that sticks. This is a good fit for someone coming from consulting who enjoys variety and senior exposure, but wants deeper ownership, continuity, and the satisfaction of seeing decisions translate into measurable outcomes.

What Success Looks Like (12 Months)

• Executive materials (slides, briefs, decision docs) are consistently clear, concise, and require minimal rework.
• One or more strategic initiatives have an effective operating cadence (milestones, owners, dependencies, risks, and weekly follow-through).
• Leadership reviews include simple KPIs or dashboards that actually get used to steer decisions and performance.
• Cross-functional partners stay aligned because issues are surfaced early and tradeoffs are framed cleanly.
• M&A Integration or diligence support outputs are reliable: inputs are coordinated, findings are synthesized, and actions are tracked.

Responsibilities

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND REGIONAL PLANNING SUPPORT

• Support high-priority Americas initiatives through research, analysis, business case development, and option framing.
• Build structured problem statements, hypotheses, and workplans to guide cross-functional execution.
• Establish and run governance: meeting cadence, action logs, milestone tracking, and risk/issue escalation.
• Create clear updates for leadership and help drive decisions by summarizing tradeoffs and recommended paths forward.

M&A, DUE DILIGENCE, AND POST-ACQUISITION INTEGRATION SUPPORT

• Support due diligence by coordinating cross-functional inputs (commercial, operational, financial, legal, people/culture) and synthesizing implications.
• Help translate diligence findings into integration priorities, early risks, and value capture opportunities.
• Assist with integration planning and execution by maintaining workplans, tracking key decisions, and ensuring functional owners stay on pace.
• Build and maintain simple KPI tracking and reporting for integration progress and value capture (for example, synergy tracking and milestone dashboards).
• Lead or support short-cycle special projects for the Americas leadership team, typically requiring fast, clean analysis and a clear recommendation.

SPECIAL PROJECTS AND EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

• Develop executive-ready communications: decks, narratives, and briefing notes that drive alignment and action.
• Improve team effectiveness by creating templates, playbooks, and repeatable mechanisms that reduce friction and improve follow-through.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree required (Business, Engineering, Finance, or similar); MBA preferred.
• 10-12 years of industry technical experience.
• 3-6 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, internal consulting, transformation/program management, or adjacent roles.
• Strong analytical skills (Excel modeling, business cases, KPI design) and ability to structure ambiguous problems.
• Strong PowerPoint and writing skills with an executive audience in mind.
• Practical project management capability: cadence, action tracking, dependency management, and escalation.
• Proven ability to work across functions and influence without authority.
• High judgment and discretion with sensitive information.
• Preferred:
  • Any exposure to M&A, diligence support, integration activities, or synergy tracking (even partial / workstream support).
  • Experience in a complex B2B / engineered products / services environment.
  • Comfort working with senior leaders (VP-level) and adapting communication style to the audience.
  • Experience mentoring analysts or coordinating small teams/workstreams (no direct reports required).
  • Familiarity with common project tracking tools (Smartsheet, Asana, MS Project, etc.).
    

PHYSICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL DEMANDS

• Ability to connect financial and operational insights to broader corporate objectives.
• Data-driven decision-making with meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong relationship-building and persuasive communication across senior leadership levels.
• Ability to manage multiple deals/projects under tight timelines.

Time Travel Required

• Up to 20%.
