ABOUT THE FUNCTION

Strategy teams are focused on the vision for the company and the plan to achieve it. Strategy teams focus on the critical priorities for the business across all areas of brand, customer, operations and people. Corporate strategy teams work closely with the CEO office to help define, shape and execute the company strategy across the business. In addition, there are also functional strategy teams (I.e Supply Chain or Commercial) which focus on specific functional priorities to enable the company strategic vision. Optimising existing processes, enhancing ways of working and transforming operating models are part of this. Strategy roles often involve working in collaboration with business experts and technology teams to identify & implement solutions to meet the needs of evolving business models.
