AI in this role
You will own the org's strategy narrative and goals portfolio, build the headcount and productivity case behind every plan, lead builder sentiment strategy, and connect the work of principals across GND into one coherent picture. You will challenge senior leaders, frame hard tradeoffs, and be measured on business outcomes, not on alignment or document quality.
Key job responsibilities
- Own GND's annual strategy document that sets direction for the business. Synthesize inputs across functions into a small set of bets with clear investment rationale.
- Hold a high bar on goals. Advise leaders on which goals should be up-leveled, down-leveled, added, or cut, identify missing priorities, and push back when goals are too safe or not measurable.
- When resources are constrained, frame the options and make a recommendation on what to fund, delay, or stop, with the data and judgment to defend it.
- Partner across GND to connect efforts that cut across the organization. Merge overlapping work, assign owners to gaps, and give leadership one view of cross-cutting programs.
- Design the leadership team's operating cadence and decision rights so staff time goes to strategy and decisions rather than status.
- Own the HC model behind the annual plan in partnership with Finance and HRBP. Make sure every HC ask is tied to demand, productivity assumptions, and priorities, and is defensible at VP level.
- Set the standard for operating plans, goals, and review mechanisms and make sure review findings feed back into goals and plans. Day-to-day operation of these mechanisms may be delegated.
- Partner with leadership and HRBP on org health, talent processes, and recruiting programs, and raise the bar on the employee experience across GND.

- Experience driving employee engagement
- Experience leading time studies, productivity analysis, or operational efficiency programs
