About the role

  • Build and manage the vertical execution operating system for AMS—annual planning, investment prioritization, and in-year execution cadence.
  • Design frameworks, processes, and problem-solving structures that convert strategy into consistent execution across multiple commercial teams.
  • Partner across AMS commercial leadership (Solution Sales, Partner Sales, BD, Global Accounts, Marketing, Services) to ensure coordinated, cross-vertical decision-making rather than siloed strategies.
  • Design the KPI architecture for vertical execution across commercial and innovation teams.
  • Lead monthly KPI tracking and insight generation; ensure cross-functional accountability.
  • Run quarterly AMS Operations Reviews, synthesizing performance insights, surfacing gaps, and enabling leadership decision-making on resourcing and investments.
  • Translate high-level strategy into actionable operating models, execution frameworks, templates, and narratives that can be adopted across AMS.
  • Represent AMS commercial needs during deal sourcing and evaluation—ensuring regional customer, vertical, and commercial considerations are reflected in diligence.
  • Act as a bridge between Commercial, Innovation, Finance, Digital, and Operations to ensure aligned planning, execution, and measurement.

Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience in management consulting (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or similar) or in a strategy/execution leadership role within a complex commercial organization.
  • Strong strategic problem-solving skills with the ability to design frameworks, simplify complexity, and drive structured execution.
  • Experience orchestrating cross-functional initiatives, ideally involving commercial, product, or operations teams.
  • Proven ability to lead KPI governance, performance tracking, or operational review processes.
  • Exposure to M&A diligence or integration is a plus (not required but helpful).
  • Exceptional communication and storytelling skills; able to influence senior leaders and simplify complex operational topics.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment and driving clarity where structure is still emerging.
