What We'll Bring:
TransUnion is building an Enterprise Strategy & Transformation team to help shape the future direction of the Company. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic new team and partner closely with senior leadership on high-stakes matters with CEO, executive leadership, and Board-level visibility.
The role entails a high degree of independence in terms of engaging with partners, structuring work, conducting interviews and analysis, and developing hypotheses and recommendations. This role is ideal for a self-motivated, intellectually curious problem-solver who performs well in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and isn't afraid to tackle ambiguous questions.
This individual will directly report to the Vice President of Enterprise Strategy to help define growth strategy for the overall business, but also will work closely with Strategy leaders within our business units and functions to translate recommendations into operating plans.
What You'll Bring:

  • 4-6+ years of experience in strategy, corporate development, or a related field
  • Player-coach with an ability to lead or do the work as the situation requires
  • Passionate desire to improve the world via Information for Good, particularly via financial inclusion
  • Strong, creative problem-solving skills including the ability to scope and structure work, design and execute quantitative and qualitative analyses, extract insights, and formulate recommendations
  • Intellectual curiosity and the ability to quickly get up to speed on new subject matter
  • Great teammate with excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to establish trust and credibility with partners and stakeholders and inspire effective collaboration across teams
  • Comfort with ambiguity - able to take general direction and structure into hypotheses, work streams and key pieces of analysis
  • Strong drive for results combined with solid business judgment to ensure recommendations can be executed successfully and that risks are managed
  • Track record of coaching and mentoring junior team members in a project-based environment
  • Fortitude to persevere when confronted with challenges and the creativity to develop alternate approaches
  • This is a hybrid position and involves regular performance of job responsibilities virtually as well as in-person at an assigned TU office location for a minimum of two days a week

We'd Love to See:

  • Financial services experience
  • Graduate degree in business or technical field

Impact You'll Make:

  • Analyze market opportunities and develop robust strategies to position the company beyond its current operational plans, including: growth and new market entry, organizational transformation and operational efficiency
  • Conduct market research leveraging a wide range of primary and secondary sources to spot trends, identify evolving customer needs, and understand the implications of competitor moves, new technologies, and regulations
  • Build business cases using both qualitative and quantitative analysis, including analyzing internal and external data sets, developing scenario based forecasting models to support decision-making on potential new products, segments, geographies, partnerships and acquisitions
  • Extract insights from analysis, formulate pragmatic recommendations, and socialize and pressure-test them with key stakeholders and subject matter experts
  • Develop clear, compelling presentations to share findings and recommendations with a senior-level audience
  • Support M&A efforts as needed, from diligence and integration through to combined strategy development and value realization
  • Partner across our matrix to integrate strategic planning with financial and business planning
  • Create ad hoc strategic analysis for the leadership team
  • Communicate Enterprise strategy to key stakeholders and associates, ensuring that they understand the strategic plan and how it will achieve TransUnion's overall goals
  • Support activities at the intersection of Strategy and Transformation; including investment tracking and selection, programs related to operating effectiveness and efficiency, and ensuring major initiatives are aligned to our enterprise strategy and priorities
  • Provide strategic and tactical execution support for key executives (e.g. CEO, CFO) related to decision making, cross-functional alignment, and "moving the ball forward" across myriad activities across the global business

This is a hybrid position and involves regular performance of job responsibilities virtually as well as in-person at an assigned TU office location for a minimum of two days a week.
