Strategy Manager

About the role

Disrupt is building the planning, reporting and decision-making infrastructure for its Executive Committee and Core Leadership Team, from scratch. The Strategy Manager reports to the Executive Committee (the Founding Partners) with the SVP, Strategy, Partnerships & Investments as anchor, and defines management effectiveness across the organisation. The role is designed to handle competing priorities and to bring analysis that may be inconvenient to any individual leader.

Key responsibilities

• Goal setting and OKRs: design and run annual objectives, quarterly OKRs and monthly targets, run the weekly leadership tracking rhythm, and ensure every meeting produces decisions, owners and actions.
• Prioritisation: maintain a single live view of work in flight across functions and ventures, drive reprioritisation and turn leadership intent into workplans with named owners and milestones.
• Strategic analysis: break open problems into testable hypotheses, own unit economics, business cases, scenario and sensitivity analysis, pressure-test proposals and run post-mortems on major bets.
• Performance reporting and decision governance: build a single monthly performance view, set up monthly reviews, quarterly business reviews and portfolio reviews, establish decision governance and create a decision log.
• Leadership communication: prepare board, investor and leadership materials, brief EC and CLT members and manage the CLT operating rhythm.

Required profile

• 3-6 years of post-graduate experience, mostly in management consulting at a top-tier firm (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) or a strong strategy firm; candidates who moved into a strategy, chief-of-staff or corporate development role at a high-growth company are also considered.
• Ownership of complete workstreams with direct exposure to client or company leadership.
• Advanced structured problem solving and hypothesis-driven thinking.
• Genuine financial fluency: building models yourself and being challenged on them.
• Executive-level written and verbal communication.
• Preferred: top-tier management consultancy training, experience in venture building, private equity, growth equity, investment banking or high-growth environments, and prior MENAP exposure.
