About the role

At Ensono, our Purpose is to be a relentless ally, disrupting the status quo and unleashing our clients to Do Great Things ! We enable our clients to achieve key business outcomes that reshape how our world runs. As an expert technology adviser and managed service provider with cross-platform certifications, Ensono empowers our clients to keep up with continuous change and embrace innovation. We can Do Great Things because we have great Associates. The Ensono Core Values unify our diverse talents and are woven into how we do business. These five traits are the key to achieving our purpose: Honesty, Reliability, Curiosity, Collaboration, and Passion. About the role and what you'll be doing: Ensono’s Strategy team sets the company’s annual strategy, turns it into a governed portfolio of strategic initiatives, focuses corporate development, and runs the executive forums that keep the CEO, the executive leadership team (ELT) and the board focused on what matters most. This role sits at the center of how Ensono sets and executes strategy, with regular exposure to the CEO, President, executive team, board and investors. It is designed as a path to broader strategy leadership, with growing ownership of the strategy cycle, corporate development and executive forums over time. We are looking for a senior strategy leader who can both help shape the strategy and drive execution. You will own the machinery that translates strategy into action, lead critical initiatives personally, influence executive decisions, and develop a broad understanding of every aspect of Ensono's business. This is not a project management or governance role. Program discipline is table stakes; the job requires judgment, business acumen and original thinking. You will spot the initiative that is drifting before it misses, write the memo that frames the decision and, from a vantage point close to every part of the business and its leaders, genuinely shape Ensono’s strategy with ideas of your own. This role is ideal for a highly strategic, intellectually curious leader who wants to influence the direction of a growing company while building the experience required for future executive-level strategy leadership positions. Shape the strategy from close to the business • Sit in on executive leaders’ staff meetings to stay close to the business and to give as well as take, keeping leaders current on company priorities and what is moving elsewhere in Ensono. • Connect the dots across functions, spot emerging risks and opportunities early, and bring them to the CSO, CEO and President with a clear point of view. • Contribute original ideas to the strategy, from new offerings and market moves to operating-model changes, and turn the strongest into strategy memos and initiative proposals. • Help the CEO and President do their jobs better by anticipating what they need and turning what is happening across the business into content for the ELT and the board. Run the annual strategy cycle and initiative portfolio • Own the annual strategy process end to end, from theme intake and charters to strategy memos, decision gates and the executive strategy session, improving it each cycle. • Stand up each approved initiative with a charter, sponsor, accountable lead, plan and measures of success, and hold the portfolio to account through the ELT, senior leadership team, monthly business review and board rhythm. • Surface risks, dependencies and decisions early, and escalate with a clear recommendation rather than a status update. • Coach initiative leads on problem structuring, root-cause analysis and decision-ready writing, and maintain the templates and toolkit that make good submissions easy. • Personally lead one or two of the high-priority initiatives or special pro
