Manager - Strategy

The Role :

At Recykal, strategy is not a support function. It is a growth engine. As part of the Strategy team, you will work alongside business leaders to shape high impact decisions that influence growth, profitability and long term market positioning. You will be embedded within a business unit cluster, working as a strategic partner who turns ambiguity into action.

CORE MANDATE:

• Translate strategic plans into actionable roadmaps with clear milestones, resource requirements, and success metrics.
• Lead strategic projects spanning product launches, pricing strategy, and market expansion.
• Act as the strategic bridge between business units and central leadership, aligning priorities across teams.
• Define leading and lagging indicators for strategic health and build dashboards that surface the right signals.
• Prepare executive presentations and board-level materials that drive decision-making at the top.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:

• 4–8 years in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or business development
• Strong analytical and financial modelling capabilities; comfortable building models from scratch
• Experience solving complex, end-to-end strategic business problems with measurable impact
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint for modelling, analysis, and executive storytelling
• Familiarity with data visualization and BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) is a strong plus
• MBA / equivalent postgraduate degree preferred; strong academic foundation in business or economics
