As a Strategic Advisor, you act as both a thought partner and a strategic integrator. You help frame key questions, challenge and refine direction, and ensure that digital initiatives are aligned to a clear strategic narrative.

- Work closely with the Chief of Staff and Transformation Office to ensure strategic consistency and momentum
- Support the evolution of the digital operating model, aligned to strategic priorities (not roadmap ownership)
- Strengthen governance and prioritization through data-driven frameworks to support effective decision-making
Qualifications
What You Bring
- 5+ years of experience in strategy, digital transformation, or internal consulting roles
- Strong experience in digital strategy (roadmap exposure is an asset, not the core focus)
