Position Summary

Lead PDS’s strategic intelligence and insights capability, advancing the organization from passive information collection to proactive, actionable intelligence. This role scans the internal and external environment for strategic signals, synthesizes information across PDS operating units and enterprise partners, and translates emerging trends, risks, opportunities, and interdependencies into clear business implications. By engaging a broad stakeholder network and producing executive-ready analysis, briefings, and recommendations, the role enables senior leadership to anticipate change, align on priorities, and make informed, forward-looking decisions. This is an individual contributor role reporting into the Strategic Realization and Governance pillar.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Synthesis & Cross-PDS Analysis

• Synthesize information from across PDS operating units and external sources to identify patterns, interdependencies, risks, and business implications not readily visible within individual functions.

• Translate complex data, trends, and emerging signals into concise insights, scenarios, and actionable recommendations for leadership decision-making.

Stakeholder Engagement & Enterprise Connectivity

• Build and sustain a broad stakeholder network across PDS, Enterprise Risk Management, enterprise functions, business partners, and the GSC triage team to enable reliable information flow and integrated perspective.

• Consolidate internal perspectives and external intelligence into a unified strategic picture that supports enterprise alignment and timely escalation.

Executive Communication & Leadership Briefings

• Develop executive-ready briefings, presentations, and decision-support materials that clearly communicate insights, implications, options, and recommended actions.

• Support and, where appropriate, directly brief leadership forums, governance reviews, and enterprise discussions, tailoring messaging and level of detail to the audience and decision need.

• undefined

Strategic Risk Sensing

• Assess emerging issues for potential strategic, operational, business, or organizational impact and recommend proactive responses based on observed signals and trends.

• Partner with Enterprise Risk Management, Strategy, and governance organizations to ensure intelligence outputs are aligned with, and do not duplicate, formal risk management responsibilities.

• undefined

Intelligence Products & Continuous Improvement

• Create standardized, repeatable intelligence products, reporting formats, and analytical frameworks that support recurring leadership reviews and evolving stakeholder needs.

• Refine sensing methodologies, source networks, and insight-generation processes to improve the quality, consistency, and usability of intelligence over time.

Qualifications & Experience

• B.S./B.A. in science, engineering, business, analytics, or a related field; advanced degree such as MBA or M.A. preferred.

• 10+ years of experience in consulting, corporate or business strategy, operations, supply chain, complex program management, or related strategic advisory roles.

• Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex, ambiguous information from multiple sources into clear insights, implications, and actionable recommendations.

• Proven ability to build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and operate effectively across large, matrixed organizations.

• Strong executive communication skills, including experience developing and delivering concise, decision-oriented presentations, briefings, and written materials for senior leaders.

• Experience partnering with risk, strategy, governance, or enterprise functions on cross-functional priorities, with the judgment to distinguish intelligence support from formal risk ownership.

• Experience creating repeatable reporting processes, analytical products, or operating rhythms that improve leadership visibility, alignment, and action.
