The Director Strategy & Head Office is the senior strategy and Chief of Staff partner to the SVP & General Manager Golf. The role owns the Business Unit strategic planning architecture, leadership governance and enterprise follow-through required to convert long-term ambition into prioritized, measurable execution.

  • Design program governance, workstreams, milestones, measures and decision paths for priority transformations.
  • Partner with Finance, HR and functional leaders on operating model, organization design, capability and resource alignment.
  • Influence senior leaders without direct authority, resolve conflicting interests and maintain accountability across functions.
  • Build repeatable strategy, governance and continuous improvement capabilities across the Golf organization.
Decision Scope and Accountability
  • Business Unit-wide scope spanning all major functions and global interfaces.
