Executive Manager, Strategy and Insights

**How will you make an impact?**

At Hostplus, we're looking for someone who's tired of playing small. As our new Executive Manager of Strategy and Insights, you won't just be moving pieces-you'll be defining the entire game. You'll work hand-in-hand with our Board and C-Suite to outmanoeuvre the competition, capitalise on opportunities, and guide our Fund to new heights.

This isn't your average strategy gig. We're talking about real influence, real challenges, and real results. So, if you're ready to stop wasting your time on the tactical and start making strategic power plays, read on.

**The opportunity**

As the Executive Manager of Strategy and Insights, you will be at the forefront of our strategic planning process. Collaborating closely with the Board and C-Suite, you will curate and facilitate the development of the Fund's strategy, ensuring we remain agile and responsive to key macro forces and market trends. Your vital analysis and insights will help identify opportunities and risks, guiding strategic decisions that drive growth and value for both employers and members.

In overseeing Fund Strategy and Business Intelligence, this role ensures that strategic initiatives are seamlessly aligned with broader organisational goals, making the Hostplus strategy both insightful and actionable. By delivering data-driven insights and performance metrics, the Executive Manager empowers leadership to make informed decisions, enhancing the Fund's ability to navigate an ever-evolving industry landscape and maintain its competitive edge.

**Some Key Responsibilities**:

- Guide the strategic planning process across the organization, including the analysis of market trends, competitive landscape, and internal capabilities to identify risks and opportunities that could impact the Fund's future growth and capacity.
- Craft and present data-driven strategic plans and insights to the Board, CEO, and C-suite team, ensuring alignment with long-term organizational objectives.
- Collaborate with key stakeholders to design and implement growth and retention strategies that enhance value for employers and members, supporting business cases that drive innovation and competitive advantage.
- Organise and deliver regular key strategic forums involving the C-suite, the CEO, and the Board to ensure alignment on the Fund's strategic direction.
- Actively manage risk indicators and ensure compliance with regulatory obligations, liaising with relevant regulatory bodies as required.
- Provide leadership, training, development, and coaching to all staff within the span of control, ensuring they meet role requirements and minimising voluntary turnover.
- Foster a high-performance culture by developing specialist skill sets within the team, achieving high levels of staff engagement, satisfaction and retention.

**About you**
- 10+ years extensive experience in management, business consulting, or within the superannuation and/or financial services industry, with a focus on strategy and insights.
- Extensive experience in strategic planning and analysis with a proven track record in developing and implementing long-term corporate and business strategies, with a strong emphasis on aligning day-to-day operations with the strategic vision of the organisation.
- Sound understanding of the superannuation or financial services sector with in-depth knowledge of the superannuation or financial services landscape, including competitor products, investment and insurance products, and the implications of policy development and legislative reform.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities with advanced quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, with the ability to analyse complex data, interpret trends, and develop insights that drive decision-making.
- Demonstrated ability to lead and inspire a high performing team within a rapidly changing, highly competitive industry, with proven skills in managing teams through periods of transformation and growth.
- Strong business judgment and commercial acumen, with a high degree of business judgment, with the ability to make sound decisions based on a deep understanding of market dynamics, financial rigor, and forecasting.
- Proven ability to communicate effectively, you are someone who produces high-quality written communications and reports, with the capability to present complex ideas clearly and persuasively to the Board, CEO, and C-Suite.
- A strategic thinker who displays a high degree of intellect, analysis, and lateral thinking, with a strong awareness of current business practices and economic/political and other broader macro issues.
- Strong business planning capabilities, with a focus on aligning operational delivery with the Fund strategy that fosters efficient delivery and ongoing monitoring of business plan initiatives.
- A bachelor's degree in management, business, or a related discipline is essential.
