Vacancy: Global Director Corporate Strategy
The Global Director Corporate Strategy will support Fugro’s senior leadership in shaping the corporate strategy and initiate and lead projects that are critical for its implementation. It is all about creating long-term value for the company by identifying business opportunities, based on market insights that capture industry trends and new growth markets. The Global Director Corporate Strategy will bring a fresh perspective on how Fugro can grow and should feel comfortable challenging the status quo. Most importantly, working at Fugro will enable them to contribute to solving the big challenges of today: climate change and the energy transition.
The Global Director Corporate Strategy will report to the Group Director Development & Digital Transformation (a member of the Executive Leadership Team) and lead a team of four strategists and two market analysts. They will work closely together with the Global Business Line Directors and members of the Executive Leadership team to translate the strategy into successful business initiatives. This will require occasional travel to engage with the regional and local teams in person. They will also team up extensively with Strategic Sales and Marketing, Innovation, Corporate Finance, and other leaders that are helping to shape the business.
“In a decentral organization like Fugro, making an impact requires more than just insightful presentations and diligent project management. It asks for engaging and influencing your stakeholders – internally and externally – with inspiring narratives.” – Wim Herijgers, Group Director Development & Digital Transformation
The Global Director Corporate Strategy will be involved in a wide variety of projects across the global organization; from driving corporate strategy and strategic planning process to developing a compelling Geo-data strategy, exploring new business models and market opportunities, evaluating potential M&A targets and designing sustainability initiatives contributing to Fugro’s net-zero ambitions.
The role is an ideal landing spot for a seasoned strategy consultant looking to transition toward a line management position. The Global Director Corporate Strategy will get to know Fugro’s business through and through and build a strong network worldwide.
