At Gallagher Bassett, we're there when it matters most because helping people through challenging moments is more than just our job, it's our purpose. Every day, we help clients navigate complexity, support recovery, and deliver outcomes that make a real difference in people's lives. It takes empathy, precision, and a strong sense of partnership—and that's exactly what you'll find here. We're a team of fast-paced fixers, empathetic experts, and outcomes drivers — people who care deeply about doing the right thing and doing it well. Whether you're managing claims, supporting clients, or improving processes, you'll play a vital role in helping businesses and individuals move forward with confidence. Here, you'll be supported by a culture that values teamwork, encourages curiosity, and celebrates the impact of your work. Because when you're here, you're part of something bigger. You're part of a team that shows up, stands together, and leads with purpose.

As Manager, you will be responsible for helping the strategic function execute in its duties ranging from strategic planning process, providing actionable market intelligence and overseeing alignment of corporate resources with strategic plans.

  • Support development of corporate vision and strategies
  • Provide analytical support to the developing/reviewing/documenting and challenging of business and corporate strategies.
  • Provide actionable market and competitive intelligence to inform the process, serving as a source of thought leadership and innovative ideas, and overseeing alignment of corporate resources with strategic plans
  • Maintain up-to-date view of market conditions and competitive environment
  • Prepare for strategic offsite and other events with collateral that will help advance the company's strategic agenda
  • Provide analytical capacity for key initiatives

Required:

  • Bachelor's Degree in business, finance or related field; 2 years of relevant work experience in a business strategy or consulting role.
  • Strong Excel skills (performing data analysis, reporting, and synthesis.)
  • Strong PowerPoint skills (drafting and developing presentations that effectively communicate complex ideas, analyses, and recommendations).

Behaviors:

  • Data-driven and analytical: passionate about diving into data and finding the "so-what?"
  • Solution oriented: motivated to solve problems and get to the root cause of an issue.
  • Intellectually curious: asks questions, seeks information, and enjoys the learning process.
  • Flexible and dynamic: adaptive to changing priorities and multiple working styles.
  • Team player: enjoys collaboration and works effectively with others.
  • Effective communicator: articulate, clear and concise in thought presentation.

Compensation and benefits:

At Gallagher, we believe supporting our colleagues goes far beyond the role itself. Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits programs designed to support your well-being, career development opportunities and ongoing learning, a collaborative, people-first culture with accessible leadership, and the opportunity to do meaningful work with global reach and local impact.

At Gallagher, we are dedicated to building an inclusive and authentic workplace. If your past experience doesn't align perfectly, we encourage you to join our Talent Community to stay connected to additional career opportunities. At times, we will consider transferable skills from previous roles. Gallagher is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer (Minorities/Females/Veterans/Disabled).
