We are seeking a Senior Strategy Analyst to support senior leaders on high-impact data and technology initiatives for a major financial services client. This role sits at the intersection of business strategy, data, and technology, with a primary focus on developing executive-level strategy and decision-support materials.


The Senior Strategy Analyst will operate as a thought partner to senior stakeholders, structuring ambiguous problems, synthesizing complex inputs, and translating analysis into clear narratives and recommendations.

• Structure and analyze complex, ambiguous business and technology problems
• Synthesize inputs from business, data, and technology teams into clear recommendations
• Partner with senior leaders to shape strategic narratives and messaging
• Support data, digital, and technology transformation initiatives with strong analytical rigor
• Ensure strategy materials are grounded in a solid understanding of data and technology concepts

Qualifications

• Proven experience creating executive-level strategy or decision-support presentations
• Strong problem-solving and structuring skills, with the ability to operate in ambiguous environments
• Solid understanding of data, technology, and modern data platforms sufficient to engage credibly with technical teams
• Experience supporting data, digital, or technology transformation initiatives
• Advanced PowerPoint skills with a strong eye for structure, clarity, and storytelling
• Ability and willingness to work onsite in McLean, VA, five days per week

Preferred Experience

• Financial services or mortgage-domain experience
• Background supporting large-scale data or technology transformation programs
• Experience working directly with senior executives or C-level stakeholders
• Consulting, strategy, or analytics background
