Senior Manager, Group Strategy

In this role, you have the opportunity to drive strategy and growth in a leading Health Tech company. As a Senior Manager in the Strategy team, you will directly support and influence key decisions made by the Philips Executive Committee and senior leaders. Are you a highly talented strategist? Are you ready for new challenges? Can you bring together the right balance of problem-solving rigor, people skills, and pragmatism to turn your thinking into decisions and actions?

You will be part of the Strategy team, working closely with Philips Businesses, Markets, and other functional teams on high-impact projects with a mandate from the Philips Executive Committee. This central team drives deep business insights, provides actionable strategic direction, and offers thought leadership for the company. The Strategy team consists of top-level strategists with diverse backgrounds, nationalities, and competencies, based out of two global hubs located in Amsterdam and Boston. The Strategy team is also a talent pool for future Philips leaders.

Your role:

• Owning and driving project work streams or projects, guided by the Strategy management team.
• Conducting high quality, meaningful, evidence-based business analyses.
• Building and communicating actionable strategy recommendations.
• Actively coaching and developing junior team members during projects.
• Contributing to running and improving the Strategy department.

An example of a typical project is to identify growth opportunities in the global Clinical Informatics market. In this rapidly evolving space, the customer and competitive landscape is changing quickly. To address this potential growth, a combined Strategy, Business, and Market team mapped the best value creation opportunities for Philips. The team assessed opportunities across a wide range of geographies and recommended both organic and inorganic growth options. As a result, a newly formed group received full Executive Committee support for an ambitious growth strategy.

You're the right fit if:

• You have a Master’s in business, science, or engineering with an excellent academic track record.
• You have at least 4 years’ recent experience in a top-tier strategy consulting firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Roland Berger, etc.) plus an MBA from a top-tier business school.
• For non-MBA candidates: at least 5 years’ recent experience in a top-tier strategy consulting firm (Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Roland Berger, etc.).
• Alternatively, 6 to 8 years in new business development or strategy with a top-tier international company, or 6 to 8 years in a private equity or venture capital firm.
• International business experience.
• Excellent quantitative and analytical skills.
• Fluency in written and spoken English.
• Willingness to travel (10%).

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.
