About the Role

Your day-to-day will involve directing the analysis of complex leadership taskings, managing comment-resolution matrices, and ensuring that CIO/G6 equities are accurately represented in decision-making processes. You will coordinate cross-functional planning to align long-range objectives with resource constraints and execution risks, while developing executive-level briefings and strategic recommendations. Beyond analysis, you will maintain authoritative strategic knowledge products, chair or coordinate boards and committees, and track decisions and follow-on actions to closure. You will also have the opportunity to mentor planners and analysts, driving the continuous improvement of our strategic planning processes and artifacts.

The application period for this role is estimated to be 30 days from the posting date, though this timeline may be adjusted based on business needs and candidate availability.
