Manager, Strategy and Business Operations
About The Position
The Manager, Strategy and Business Operations plays a key role in shaping the commercial strategy for the Housing Solutions business and owns the system that converts that strategy into performance. The role defines how SAMI prices modular housing, which opportunities the business pursues, how partnership and product economics are structured, and where the business concentrates as it scales. It then operationalizes that strategy across the order pipeline, the factory, and the P&L - sequencing production, resolving trade-offs across Operations, Finance, and Product, and building the planning infrastructure the business depends on. It is a high-ownership generalist position for a candidate with strong commercial judgment, structured problem-solving, and the credibility to drive cross-functional decisions.
