Lead structured workstreams on the group's most important strategic initiatives, managing scope, analysis, stakeholder coordination, and delivery of board-level recommendations.
Run market, customer, and competitive analyses in B2B information, events, and digital media — synthesizing findings into crisp insight that actually changes decisions.
Develop and stress-test strategic partnership opportunities: identify potential partners, define the value exchange, and support commercial negotiation and structuring.
Build commercially grounded models and frameworks — market sizing, scenario planning, pricing analysis, customer lifetime value — to underpin investment, product, and go-to-market decisions.
Support the CSO in preparing materials for the executive team, board, and investors — translating complex analysis into concise narratives and clear recommendations.
Partner with business unit leaders to convert strategy into execution plans with measurable milestones and KPIs, tracking progress as conditions evolve.
Contribute to building LBR/ALM's internal strategy capability — playbooks, analytical templates, and repeatable frameworks that raise the bar across the organization.

5 – 10 years of total experience, with a meaningful portion in strategy consulting, specialist commercial due diligence, or a high-calibre in-house strategy function.
Experience at a specialist strategy or sector-focused consultancy is particularly valued.
A track record of project-managing complex workstreams end-to-end: structuring the problem, driving the analysis, aligning stakeholders, and landing the recommendation at C-suite or board level.
Direct experience in or adjacent to one or more of: subscription and recurring revenue models, B2B information or data businesses, digital media, or technology-enabled services.
Comfort working with imperfect data to produce directionally sound, timely insight — you know that 'good and fast' often beats 'perfect and late.'
Some exposure to partnership development, commercial structuring, or investor-grade business planning is a plus, but not a prerequisite.
