Responsibilities

  • Serve as a trusted, embedded business partner to the BG, President, BU Leaders, and MSOL senior leaders — actively engaged in their management system.
  • Proactively identify strategic risks, opportunities, and second- or third-order implications — bringing independent perspective and judgment, not just synthesizing data.
  • Lead preparation and facilitation for board meetings, growth conferences, site reviews, leadership events, and other high-stakes strategic touchpoints.
  • Support development and execution of strategic initiatives — from ideation and framing through to execution and follow-through.
  • Serve as the strategic planning function’s connection between the BUs, World Areas, and MSOL — leveraging the VP, Strategy & Pricing Analytics to achieve goals while operating as an effective daily partner to the assigned leaders.
  • Run analyses, including scenario planning, providing executive-ready interpretation and framing to support 3–6% through-the-cycle growth.
  • Lead market research and analytical deep dives into growth areas, market opportunities, competitive dynamics, and strategic risks.
  • Support analysis, planning, and execution of growth workshops to drive strategic changes and subsequent follow-through.
  • Combine leadership insights and business judgment with AI-supported analyses to surface non-obvious implications and actionable recommendations.
  • Design and maintain AI-enabled workflows for strategy reviews, board preparation, leadership events, and recurring planning processes — creating capacity for strategic discussion in place of manual content assembly.
  • Build and steward models and prompts for growth forecasting, market research, competitive scanning, and risk identification, in partnership with the MSOL AI Capability Center.
  • Establish quality standards and evaluation frameworks to ensure AI-generated outputs meet or exceed leadership standards for accuracy, rigor, and insight.
  • Coach peers and stakeholders on effective and responsible use of AI in strategic work; maintain documentation of best practices and lessons learned.
  • Measure and communicate productivity and quality improvements resulting from AI-enabled workflows.
