About The Position

SAIC is seeking a strategy manager to translate enterprise-level strategic imperatives from its updated corporate strategy into coordinated action across the enterprise. The role is part of SAIC’s Corporate Strategy team and bridges high-level enterprise vision with actionable strategy implementation. The manager will work with functional and Business Group executives to examine tactical details, build consensus, and identify and close operational gaps. This is a high-impact individual-contributor role focused on concrete outcomes, executive alignment, hands-on problem-solving, structured diagnostic thinking, and influential partnership rather than directing a large project team. The role can be performed remotely within the United States for the right candidate.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree and 15 years of experience.
• 10 years of experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or a comparable strategy/operations role, including direct collaboration with senior executives.
• Must be a U.S. citizen.
• Ability to operate as a senior-level individual contributor and drive significant scope without a large team.
• Strong track record influencing and partnering with SVP- and EVP-level functional and business unit leaders without direct authority over their teams.
• Sharp analytical and structuring skills, with the ability to bring clarity and sequencing to ambiguous, competing priorities.
• Ability to facilitate decisive outcomes with C-suite leadership.
• Exceptional executive communication skills, including delivering concise, highly actionable prose and creating visually compelling presentation decks for senior leadership and Board audiences.
• Comfort holding accountability for follow-through and decision documentation without owning day-to-day task management.

Nice To Haves

• MBA or other advanced education.
• Experience within the aerospace, defense, or government services ecosystem.
• Experience at the intersection of strategy and execution, such as strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or a comparable internal strategy/operations role.

Responsibilities

• Work with the VP of Corporate Strategy to scope and lead cross-functional and cross-market strategic planning or internal consulting engagements.
• Coordinate development of strategic imperatives, critical success factors, frameworks, and the enterprise strategy implementation architecture.
• Partner with functional and Business Group leaders to translate executive leadership direction into specific execution actions, assess organizational gaps and white space, and coordinate external vendor support where required.
• Manage and rationalize cross-functional dependencies and hold the line on synergy realization.
• Design the architecture for ongoing implementation activities, including evaluation, prioritization, sequencing, decision forums, escalation pathways, and outcome tracking.
• Develop frameworks to structure competing priorities and dependencies by balancing capacity, risk, feasibility, timing, and enterprise fit.
• Lead or co-lead quarterly and/or monthly reviews with the VP of Corporate Strategy, ensuring decisions are documented, clearly owned, and followed through.
• Ensure consistency and stewardship of Enterprise Strategy messaging across implementation initiatives, employee touchpoints, and change management communications.
