Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives
About the role
So what is the role all about?
This role owns the execution of the highest-priority strategic programs at any given time — programs that don't fit neatly into a single function's scope, require cross-functional accountability, or carry CEO/COO-level visibility. It sits at the center of the TMO and operates in close partnership with the CEO, COO, and functional leadership. Where individual functions own their domain, this role owns the programs that cut across them — structuring ambiguous mandates into workable initiatives and driving them to a result.
This is not a program management role. It is not a CoS role. It is a senior strategist and operator who can take an ambiguous mandate from the CEO or COO, structure it into a clear problem statement and workplan, align stakeholders with competing interests, and drive it to an outcome — repeatedly, across very different types of problems. Think of it as the TMO's internal consulting capacity: someone who can be deployed against the next critical problem without needing a new hire or scope definition every time the agenda shifts.
How will you make an impact?
- Own the 1–3 highest-priority non-AI strategic initiatives at any given time, as defined by the CEO and COO — structuring vague mandates into clear problem statements, hypotheses, and workplans without being told how
- Work alongside the AI Transformation lead on initiatives that require both AI deployment and broader strategic or operating model change
