Corporate Strategy Director

Finastra • Atlanta, GA

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

Finastra is seeking a Corporate Strategy Director to support the delivery of major corporate-level strategic initiatives during a critical phase of execution. This is a senior individual contributor role, working closely with the CEO, Executive Leadership Team (ELT), and Board. The role sits within a lean corporate strategy team and reports to the SVP of Strategy and Chief of Staff. The Corporate Strategy Director will play a key role in supporting the planning, analysis, and execution of enterprise-wide strategic initiatives. These initiatives typically span multiple business units and functions and require strong ownership, pace, and coordination to deliver clearly defined outcomes. This is a hands-on, execution-focused strategy role. It is not a people-management position and does not involve line management. Success requires the ability to work independently, structure ambiguous problems, and deliver high-quality outputs that senior leaders rely on in a fast-paced environment. The role will also provide targeted support to corporate development activity, including strategic fit assessments and early-stage due diligence, and contribute to ESG-related initiatives from a strategy and delivery perspective. Deep ESG subject-matter expertise is not required.

Requirements

• Experience gained within a top-tier strategy consulting firm, complemented by broader commercial or industry experience
• Experience in software and/or financial services environments
• Strong strategic thinking and analytical capability, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems and work with complex information
• Proven ability to operate as a senior individual contributor, delivering high-quality outputs at pace
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with credibility at senior and ELT level
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and take full ownership of deliverables
• Pragmatic, delivery-focused, and resilient in a fast-paced environment
• All applicants must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship

• Work directly with business units and functional teams to define scope, structure workstreams, and drive delivery of cross-functional initiatives
• Provide programme support across multiple concurrent initiatives, including timeline management, identification of risks and dependencies, and progress tracking
• Communicate clear, concise updates and insights to senior stakeholders, including ELT members
• Support corporate development activity, including strategic fit assessments and early-stage due diligence
• Contribute to ESG initiatives as part of the broader corporate strategy, working alongside subject-matter experts as required
• Build a strong understanding of Finastra’s products, customers, and strategic priorities
• Provide bespoke analytical and delivery support for CEO-level initiatives, Board materials, and external stakeholder discussions
