WHAT’S THE JOB LIKE?
Day-to-day work &amp; projects cooking
As Senior Strategy Manager, you join the Jobs strategy team, whose mission is to shape direction for the vertical and ensure clarity on strategic key topics. Your week can include framing strategic questions, analysing market, competitive, or performance trends, building business cases, preparing material for leadership discussions, or working with different teams and stakeholders on a variety of projects.
You work with topics such as shaping the overall vertical strategy, AI and disruption, long term monetisation, sustainability, M&amp;A and market insight, and follow progress through business reviews. You may lead some initiatives and contribute to others.
Your main stakeholders include the Jobs management team, product and tech, sales, finance, marketing, and many central Vend teams such as the central strategy team and the M&amp;A team. Success in the role means being a trusted partner that brings clarity and structure to important questions, but also drives alignment and follows up on progress.
The challenge turns into an opportunity!
The Jobs landscape is changing, with questions around AI disruption, changing user behaviour, and an evolving competitive market. This creates ambiguity and a need for clarity and structure as we go, while not compromising on shorter-term performance. For the right person, this becomes an opportunity to shape direction, learn fast, and influence how the vertical responds to important shifts.
