POSITION SUMMARY

The Strategy & Integration Senior Manager advances the Americas Strategy and Portfolio Growth agenda by leading strategic initiatives and cross-functional workstreams. Partnering closely with Americas leadership, this role transforms complex business questions into data-driven insights, actionable recommendations, and execution plans that deliver measurable results. The position serves as a critical link between strategy and execution, helping define priorities, drive alignment, and ensure key initiatives are successfully implemented across the region.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Lead the regional strategic planning process

• Coordinate development of the Americas three-year strategic plan in alignment with the corporate strategy and finance-led planning process, timeline, templates, and required deliverables.
• Partner closely with sales, operations, and the product organization to translate product strategy, portfolio priorities, market assumptions, and growth opportunities into the regional strategic plan.
• Manage inputs, milestones, and review cycles across functions to ensure the plan is complete, consistent, and delivered on schedule.
• Prepare clear summaries, working sessions, and leadership review materials that connect product priorities, regional growth choices, financial assumptions, and required decisions.
• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, risks, and tradeoffs in the plan and coordinate follow-up with product, finance, and functional owners to resolve them.
• Maintain structured tools, trackers, and templates that support the corporate process and make the three-year planning cycle easier to manage and repeat.

Coordinate and manage business cadence and reporting

• Run the business governance cadence, including recurring leadership reviews, operating meetings, and cross-functional check-ins.
• Maintain action logs, decision trackers, milestone plans, and risk / issue registers to ensure commitments are visible and followed through.
• Develop simple, repeatable reporting mechanisms that highlight progress, blockers, ownership, and upcoming decisions.
• Surface risks and tradeoffs early, escalate issues appropriately, and help leadership focus on the decisions needed to keep execution on track.
• Continuously improve governance, reporting, and follow-up processes through better systems, automation, and fit-for-purpose AI use cases that improve reliability and reduce administrative burden.

Lead special projects and craft executive communications

• Independently lead short-cycle, cross-functional special projects for the Americas leadership team, typically requiring fast, clean analysis, a clear recommendation, and implementation tracking.
• Develop executive-ready communications: decks, narratives, and briefing notes that drive alignment and action.
• Conduct targeted research on priority companies, competitors, market trends, and emerging themes to inform strategic recommendations and leadership decisions.
• Improve team effectiveness by creating templates, playbooks, and repeatable mechanisms that reduce friction and improve follow-through.

Manage regional post-merger integration execution

• Drive post-merger integration planning by translating deal rationale and diligence findings into clear integration priorities, milestones, risks, and value capture opportunities.
• Maintain integration workplans, decision trackers, dependency maps, and risk / issue logs to ensure functional owners stay aligned and on pace.
• Coordinate cross-functional integration workstreams across commercial, operations, finance, legal, HR, and other functions as needed.
• Build and maintain simple KPI reporting for integration progress, milestone completion, and value capture.
• Create repeatable tools, templates, and process improvements that make integration workstreams easier to manage and scale.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree required (Business, Engineering, Finance, or similar); MBA preferred.
• 7-10 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.
• Familiarity with AI-enabled productivity tools such as Microsoft Copilot and reporting / visualization tools such as Power BI; able to apply them practically to improve analysis, reporting, automation, and workflow efficiency.
• Proven ability to work across functions and influence without authority.
• High judgment and discretion with sensitive information.
• Exposure to post-merger integration, synergy tracking, integration management, or related workstream coordination.
• 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).
