Corporate Strategy Director

Finastra•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

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 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
