Senior Strategy Manager
Position Description
Group Strategy is a trusted adviser to Fonterra's senior leadership, partnering on the big strategic questions that will shape the future of the Co-op. We go where the biggest opportunities and challenges are and stay close enough to make sure choices turn into action.
You'll take on complex challenges, frame the problem, bring together diverse teams from across the business, and lead them to a decision leaders can act on. You'll also coach and help develop our analysts, as part of a team where building future leaders is everyone's job.
