Hybrid: 3–4 days per week | London / Biggin Hill
Our client is the world's most iconic global sports and entertainment organisations, delivering a championship watched by hundreds of millions of fans across more than 20 countries each year. They are seeking a Senior Strategy Manager to join its growing central Strategy function, playing a key role in shaping the long-term direction of one of the world's most recognised sports and entertainment businesses.
Working within a small, high-performing team, you'll partner with senior leaders across commercial, operations, technology and corporate functions to define strategic priorities, evaluate growth opportunities and support major business decisions. This is a highly visible role offering exposure across the organisation, where you'll combine commercial thinking with robust financial modelling to influence decisions that have a tangible impact on the business.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys solving complex business problems, building compelling business cases and influencing senior stakeholders in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
The Senior Strategy Manager will…
- Partner with senior leadership to develop and deliver the organisation's long-term corporate strategy.
- Build complex financial models and commercial business cases to support strategic investment decisions.
- Analyse market trends, industry dynamics and macroeconomic factors to identify opportunities for growth.
- Evaluate new business opportunities and strategic initiatives across multiple business functions.
- Support the annual strategic planning and budgeting process, working closely with department leaders to define priorities and investment roadmaps.
- Prepare high-quality presentations, recommendations and executive materials for senior leadership and key business stakeholders.
- Act as a strategic business partner to departments across the organisation, providing commercial insight and analytical support.
- Identify emerging opportunities and develop strategies that support sustainable long-term growth.
- Scope and lead cross-functional strategic projects, working collaboratively across commercial, operational and corporate teams.
- Influence stakeholders at all levels by building strong relationships and navigating a complex, collaborative business environment.
You'll bring…

- Strong financial modelling skills, with the ability to build robust commercial models and business cases.
- Strong commercial acumen and the ability to translate analysis into clear strategic recommendations.
- Experience working with senior stakeholders and influencing decision-making across multiple business functions.
- A proactive, self-starting approach with the ability to independently lead complex pieces of work.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the confidence to engage audiences from operational teams through to executive leadership.
- Strong political awareness and the ability to influence through collaboration rather than hierarchy.
- A structured, analytical approach combined with intellectual curiosity and sound commercial judgement.
- An interest in understanding the wider business and industry landscape. Experience within sport, media or entertainment is beneficial but not essential.
