Why This Role Matters

The Strategy Manager acts as a trusted partner to leadership, shaping where the business invests, how it competes, and what initiatives will unlock growth. You’ll contribute directly to delivering the multi-year strategy — balancing analytical rigour with commercial judgement.

Projects span brand performance, growth channels, revenue optimisation, and operational benchmarking. The work combines deep analysis with storytelling — turning insights into concise recommendations that guide executive decisions.

The Type of Work You’ll Lead

Examples of strategic focus areas include:

  • Brand portfolio positioning and growth strategy
  • Foodservice and away-from-home expansion priorities
  • Value engineering and performance benchmarking
