Strategy Manager

Strategy Manager

At Barclaycard, we always want to stay one step ahead. Not just in terms of the products and services we offer, but also the way we work as a business. Which is why we’re putting together the most intelligent, articulate and ambitious operational strategists to form a brand new team. Succeed here, and the high visibility of this work means you can expect unrivalled opportunities to develop and progress.

About the role

Joining a small team of 10 specialists, you’ll support the development and optimisation of our global operating platform. We’ll look to you to provide subject matter expertise and to generate strategic insights based on the collation, analysis and synthesis of business data and intelligence. Your role involves defining and driving our operations roadmap within the context of a global marketplace, so you’ll need to look at geo-sensitive, economic, regulatory and commercial factors. You can also expect to shape our global technology architecture, platform and channel strategies, engage in our global M&A agenda and provide leadership amongst the stakeholder community.

About you

As well as a good understanding of commercial and financial management, you’ll have experience of using your expertise to solve global strategic issues. You have the confidence and credibility to challenge conventional thinking at the most senior levels – and to bring key decision makers round to your way of thinking. Outstanding stakeholder management skills are therefore an absolute must. It could be that you’re working in a consultancy now, implementing strategies and influencing people from the top down.

About Operations at Barclaycard

Not satisfied with having the largest market share in the UK, Barclaycard is one of the leading and most innovative payments companies in the world. We already have more than 16 million customers and, thanks to our commitment to delivering ground-breaking products, we’re expanding globally. But without the right operational architecture in place, none of this would be possible. That’s why we’re introducing a brand new team to define our operational strategy and ensure it’s rolled out across the business. A team that won’t be afraid to challenge convention or debate the most complex issues. A team that, by working as an internal consultancy for the business, will help to shape its ongoing success. And you could be part of it.

About the rewards

As well as the prestige of working for a global brand, you’ll enjoy all the benefits you’d expect from a name like Barclaycard – including a pension scheme, private health cover and generous holiday. Find out more and apply.
