  • Develop and implement solutions that enhance distribution partner performance in a way that aligns with the company’s strategy and goals.

  • Provide financial analysis and insights to support budgeting, forecasting, and strategic planning processes.

Product and Innovation Strategy:

  • Work closely with product management and development teams to align product strategy and market needs.
  • Drive innovation by identifying new product opportunities and improvements to existing offerings.
  • Evaluate the impact of new technologies on the company’s product portfolio and overall business strategy.

  • 8+ years of experience in strategy development, business planning, or management consulting, focusing on the insurance, payments, e-commerce, or other technology sectors.
  • High and proven learning agility. 
  • Proven track record of leading successful strategic initiatives in a high-growth environment.
  • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex data into actionable insights.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence and inspire teams.
