Strategy Project Manager / Strategy Specialist (F/M)

Role Description

We are looking for two roles Strategy Project Manager and Strategy Specialist to join our Strategy Team and support the organization in defining, planning, and implementing strategic and operational initiatives.

While both roles will cover a similar scope of responsibilities, they will differ in the level of ownership and complexity of projects. The more experienced person (Manager) will take the lead on the most complex and high-impact strategic initiatives, including end-to-end project ownership, while the Specialist will primarily lead smaller-scale projects and actively contribute to more complex initiatives by supporting the Manager.

In both roles, the person will be involved in strategy development, evaluating strategic and value creation initiatives, coordination or support of M&A projects (pre- and post-deal) and managing implementation projects across these areas. The positions offer an opportunity to grow into increasing levels of responsibility and project ownership over time.

• Lead or support M&A initiatives, including pre-deal activities (screening, due diligence, valuation) and post-deal integration planning.
• Act as a key point of contact for internal teams and external advisors, ensuring alignment and execution discipline across the transaction lifecycle.
• Lead or support post-merger integration (PMI) and value realization by tracking synergies, managing risks, and supporting delivery against strategic objectives.
• Plan and oversee the execution of projects, including scope, timelines, budgets, and KPIs.
• Collaborate with business teams and facilitate cross-functional communication to ensure effective implementation.
• Identify implementation risks and barriers, and recommend mitigation actions.
• Prepare management updates, analyses, and presentations.

Our requirements:

Both levels:

• Experience in strategy, M&A, strategic initiatives management (e.g., strategy consulting, M&A consulting, corporate development / strategy departments, value creation advisory).
