This is a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic new team and partner closely with senior leadership on high-stakes matters with CEO, executive leadership, and Board-level visibility. The role will entail engaging with partners, structuring work, conducting interviews and analysis, and developing hypotheses and recommendations. This role is ideal for a self-motivated, intellectually curious problem-solver who performs well in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and isn't afraid to tackle ambiguous questions.
This individual will directly report to the Vice President of Enterprise Strategy to help define growth strategy for the overall business, but also will work closely with Strategy leaders within our business units and functions to translate recommendations into operating plans.

  • Intellectual curiosity and the ability to quickly get up to speed on new subject matter
  • Great teammate with excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to establish trust and credibility with partners and stakeholders and inspire effective collaboration across teams
  • Strong communication skills including an exceptional ability to make a logical, persuasive case for change through written presentations
  • Comfort with ambiguity - able to take general direction and structure into hypotheses, work streams and key pieces of analysis
  • Strong drive for results combined with solid business judgment to ensure recommendations can be executed successfully and that risks are managed
  • Track record of coaching and mentoring junior team members in a project-based environment
  • Low ego team player who approaches all assignments with a positive attitude and always gives maximum effort
  • Fortitude to persevere when confronted with challenges and the creativity to develop alternate approaches
  • Strong time management and organizational skills to manage multiple projects concurrently
  • Financial services experience a strong plus
  • Bachelor's degree required, graduate degree in business or technical field preferred
  • 3+ years of experience in strategy, corporate development, or a related field


Impact You'll Make:

  • Assist with the analysis of market opportunities and the development of robust strategies to position the company beyond its current operational plans, including: growth and new market entry, organizational transformation and operational efficiency
  • Gather market research leveraging a wide range of primary and secondary sources to spot trends, identify evolving customer needs, and understand the implications of competitor moves, new technologies, and regulations
  • Help to build business cases using both qualitative and quantitative analysis, including analyzing internal and external data sets, developing scenario based forecasting models to support decision-making on potential new products, segments, geographies, partnerships and acquisitions
  • Extract insights from analysis, formulate pragmatic recommendations, and socialize and pressure-test them with key stakeholders and subject matter experts
  • Develop clear, compelling presentations in collaboration with our team to share findings and recommendations with a senior-level audience
  • Support M&A efforts as needed, from diligence and integration through to combined strategy development and value realization
  • Partner with peers across our matrix to integrate strategic planning with financial and business planning
  • Help create ad hoc strategic analysis for the leadership team
  • Support activities at the intersection of Strategy and Transformation; including investment tracking and selection, programs related to operating effectiveness and efficiency, and ensuring major initiatives are aligned to our enterprise strategy and priorities
  • Help to provide strategic and tactical execution support for key executives (e.g. CEO, CFO) related to decision making, cross-functional alignment, and "moving the ball forward" across myriad activities across the global business
  • This is a hybrid position and involves regular performance of job responsibilities virtually as well as in-person at an assigned TU office location for a minimum of two days a week.
