14h • Remote

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 broad enterprise vision with structured, actionable implementation. The manager works closely with functional and Business Group executives to examine tactical details, build consensus, and identify and close operational gaps. The position may be performed remotely within the United States by the right candidate.

This high-impact individual-contributor role drives outcomes through executive alignment and partnership with business teams rather than by directing a large project team. The ideal candidate brings experience at the intersection of strategy and execution, such as strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or a comparable internal strategy or operations role, and can structure ambiguous problems and advance execution through influence.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree and 15 years of experience.
• At least 10 years of experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or a comparable strategy/operations role with direct senior executive collaboration.
• Must be a U.S. citizen.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a senior-level individual contributor and drive significant scope without a large team.
• Strong track record of 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 clarify and sequence ambiguous, competing priorities.
• Proven ability to facilitate decisive outcomes with C-suite leadership, including exceptional executive communication and a record of producing concise, actionable prose and 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.

Responsibilities

• Work with the VP of Corporate Strategy to scope and lead cross-functional and cross-market strategic planning or internal consulting engagements.
• Coordinate the 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 when needed.
• Manage and rationalize cross-functional dependencies and maintain accountability for synergy realization.
• Design the architecture for ongoing implementation activities, including evaluation, prioritization, sequencing, decision forums, escalation pathways, and outcome tracking; 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, assigned clear owners, and followed through.
• Ensure consistent stewardship of Enterprise Strategy messaging across implementation initiatives, employee touchpoints, and change management communications.
