The Opportunity

Black & Veatch is seeking an exceptional strategy leader to help shape the long‑term direction of its Technology, Industrial & Governments sector, led by Jim Moos, within a 100% employee‑owned global infrastructure company. Working closely with the Chief Strategy Officer, the TIG sector president, and senior sector leaders, the Director of Enterprise Strategy will lead high‑impact work across sector strategy, portfolio choices, capital allocation, growth priorities, market entry, strategic partnerships, and capability investment.

This is a high‑visibility role for a leader who combines the structured problem‑solving and analytical rigor of a top strategist with practical understanding of U.S. utility markets, regulatory environments, infrastructure investment cycles, and client buying behavior. The Director will address consequential questions across power delivery, grid modernization, distributed infrastructure, data centers, advanced manufacturing, integrated facilities, mission‑critical infrastructure, and federal agencies while helping build the strategy capabilities and talent required for Black & Veatch’s next stage of growth.
