Global Strategy Manager
HybridSydney, New South Wales, Australia or Hawthorn, Victoria, Australia
Job Summary
Conduct long-term strategy definition and annual planning, including evaluating market landscapes and structuring complex business problems through quantitative analysis. Develop market intelligence to inform strategic decisions and leverage AI tools to reimagine team workflows and operating rhythms. Execute Board reporting, OKR setting, and high-priority program delivery while partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to translate priorities into actionable plans. This role sits at the centre of Xero's Global Strategy & Operations team, working closely with senior leaders to bring order to ambiguity and drive alignment across product, engineering, finance, and people. Based in Melbourne or Sydney on a hybrid schedule, the position requires a strategic toolkit with experience at a top-tier consulting firm or within global SaaS environments.
Required Qualifications
- Experience at a top-tier consulting firm highly preferred; or, comparable experience in strategy, operations, transformation, and/or related roles within a global technology or SaaS environment
- You bring a strong strategic toolkit: turning ambiguous briefs into sharp, well-structured problems, with a clear view on hypotheses and the data needed to test them
- Analytical rigour comes naturally to you, with the ability to model data, build business cases and independently work through complex information
- Synthesising analysis into a crisp, well-argued recommendation, with explicit and defensible trade-offs, is one of your strengths
- Building and maintaining the processes, governance and operating rhythms that turn priorities into coordinated action is familiar territory for you
- Relationships form quickly for you across all levels, and you drive alignment through structured consultation and consistent follow-through
- Using AI tools to reimagine and improve how work gets done is already part of how you operate, not an afterthought
Desired Qualifications
- Experience at a top-tier consulting firm highly preferred
