Enterprise Execution Lead

Reports to the Hertz Chief of Staff and sits within the Office of the CEO. Hertz is transforming from a traditional rental car company into a modern mobility platform powered by data, technology, and operational excellence. Our strategy focuses on optimizing fleet economics, accelerating the digital customer experience, expanding off‑airport and mobility partnerships, and unlocking new value from our global fleet platform. To drive this transformation, we are building a Strategy & Execution Office within the Office of the CEO; a small, high‑impact team responsible for setting enterprise priorities and ensuring they are executed with speed, rigor, and measurable results. Enterprise Strategy & Execution Leads are the operators who make this transformation real. They sit at the center of the company’s most important decisions and initiatives, owning the end‑to‑end orchestration of enterprise‑critical work that directly impacts Hertz’s strategy and financial performance. This is a high‑visibility role partnering directly with senior executives across the company. This role is not traditional corporate strategy or a traditional PMO. It’s both; deciding what matters most and making sure it gets done.

Develop future operators through exposure to strategy, execution, and financial accountability. What Success Looks Like Enterprise initiatives move faster, deliver measurable value, and produce fewer surprises. Cross‑functional teams remain aligned and focused. Risks and interdependencies are surfaced early. Leadership trusts the data, governance, and decision framing. What We’re Looking For 7–12 years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, or program leadership. Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross‑functional initiatives end‑to‑end. Strong analytical and financial modeling skills. Experience influencing senior stakeholders and driving alignment. Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and high‑visibility environments. Comfort leveraging AI, automation, and advanced analytics to improve speed and impact. Excellent structured thinking and problem‑solving skills. Bias toward action and measurable outcomes. Preferred Former tier‑one consulting engagement manager, or equivalent. Experience driving operational improvement, cost transformation, or digital modernization. Exposure to capital allocation or performance improvement programs. Track record of quantifiable financial impact (EBITDA, cost savings, revenue lift). Experience managing delivery in matrixed or asset‑heavy environments. Background in mobility, travel, logistics, marketplaces, or technology‑enabled services. Mindset Intellectually rigorous and curious – you seek root causes and systems‑level clarity. Ownership mentality – you stay with problems through value realization. Bias toward action with urgency. Calm and resilient under pressure and cross‑functional friction. Structured yet adaptable in ambiguity. Financially accountable – you think in measurable business impact. Strong operator instinct – you enjoy making complex systems work better. Influence without authority – credibility over hierarchy. Leverage‑driven – you use AI and analytics as force multipliers. High learning velocity and commitment to continuous improvement. Why Join Hertz Now Hertz is at a pivotal moment. We’ve improved operational efficiency, achieved record fleet utilization, and made significant progress toward sustained profitability while laying the foundation for long‑term growth.
