POSITION SUMMARY

New Ventures Technology & Innovation | Manager Strategy, Growth & Transformation

The Manager, Strategic Initiatives supports the Strategic Initiatives Leader and Senior Manager in executing NVTI’s highest-priority programs. The role provides structured analysis, coordination, and follow-through across a portfolio spanning product governance, strategic external partnerships, and firm-level cross-functional initiatives.

The role requires a working understanding of the alliances and start-up ecosystem, along with the organizational awareness to navigate Deloitte’s matrixed environment across businesses, enabling functions, and Global. The Manager builds productive relationships, coordinates stakeholders, and helps advance agreed priorities without direct authority.

This role is designed for a manager who can translate strategic direction into well-organized execution: breaking complex work into clear activities, developing senior-leader materials with guidance, tracking progress across concurrent workstreams, identifying risks, and escalating issues with practical options to sustain pace and quality.

Stakeholder Engagement & Matrixed Influence

  • Cross-Functional Alignment

    • Translate stakeholder input into clear next steps, draft decision pathways, and coordinated communications for leadership review.
