Strategy Manager Operating Model & Organizational Design- Middle East

Role Title: Strategy Manager Operating Model & Organizational Design- Middle East

As an Operating Model and Organization Design Strategy Manager, you will work at C-level and advise our clients on how to transform their businesses. You will use your experience from previous transformation projects to help with far-reaching issues with a long-term perspective while guiding the project team with context and examples. To do this, you will be active along our 4 central areas:

Design enterprise operating models: Often triggered by a new business strategy or model, it involves the realignment of individual business units or the entire operating model. In doing so, we advise clients on the critical capabilities of the future organization, the new role of the group of companies, the required leadership structure, as well as how individual business units can be integrated with each other.

Optimize and innovate operating models: How can you reduce complexity in companies, reduce redundancies in teams and activities, and make processes more efficient? Together, we advise clients on how to increase their organizational effectiveness, what role data and analytics play in this, and how they can achieve the desired performance through quantitative benchmarks.

Design Functions and Shared Services: We design functional operating models in close cooperation with the board of directors and head of functions. Often, it is a matter of adapting the functions to new growth or cost programs or linking them more closely to the overall strategy. Here, too, we define the required capabilities, the service delivery models, and deal in depth with process and governance issues. In addition, we advise clients on how to set up or develop their shared service organizations to increase their competitiveness and at the same time drive digitalization and standardization.

Activate operating models: In addition to conceptual design, you will also accompany the implementation of new operating models together as a team and advise our customers on the central questions of implementation: How and when should a comprehensive transformation be communicated and what role does leadership play in this? How can the progress and success of the implementation be measured and what training measures are required for employees?
