Recruiting for this role ends on September 30, 2026.

Work You’ll Do

This is a strategy role, not a technical one. As the Strategic Planning Manager, you will be a sharp, structured thinker who can take an ambiguous problem, break it down, and shape a clear point of view that helps leaders decide where to take Deloitte’s technology organization. You will spend your time framing strategy, conducting analysis, and building the operational and financial discipline that turns direction into outcomes. We are looking for breadth of strategic experience and strong critical thinking; you do not need to be a deep technical specialist, but you do need the curiosity and business judgment to reason about technology and translate it into strategy.

In this highly visible and hands-on role, you will:

• Solve ambiguous, open-ended problems, applying structured critical thinking to frame the right questions, break down complex issues, and build a clear, defensible point of view for leadership.
• Lead complex analysis for high-priority technology initiatives, pressure-testing business cases and translating data and insight into clear recommendations that inform major decisions.
• Define the north star and roadmap the future state, partnering with technology and business leaders to articulate where the organization is headed and the sequenced path required to get there.
• Reimagine processes for an AI-enabled world, rethinking how work gets done and identifying where automation and emerging technologies can unlock efficiency, quality, and new sources of value.
• Conduct market research on technology trends, scanning the external landscape to surface insights on emerging tools, practices, and competitive moves that shape Deloitte’s technology strategy.
• Create executive-level presentations that articulate strategy, storyboarding and structuring complex ideas into compelling narratives and visuals that align senior stakeholders and drive decisions and action. Mastery of PowerPoint as a strategic communication tool is central to this work
• Establish governance to manage and track progress, designing the frameworks, cadences, and metrics that keep initiatives accountable and make momentum visible to leadership.
• Assist in the oversight and administration of the Tech Transformation Portfolio, including top-down financial planning, budget forecasting and forward-looking insights, variance analysis, and periodic reporting in coordination with PMO and cross-functional Tech Transformation program stakeholders.
• Coordinate with operational, finance, and technology teams to identify process improvement opportunities and support the implementation of scalable operational tooling and automation.
• Facilitate operational and financial reporting to support OCIO and Transformation leadership decision-making, including tracking budget performance, portfolio health metrics, invoice and spend management, and resource utilization across service areas.
• Support the development and implementation of standardized operational processes, tools, and frameworks to drive consistency and efficiency across the organization.
• Support the configuration, maintenance, and optimization of ServiceNow Strategic Planning (SPM) operational modules to enable streamlined workflows and improved project delivery aligned with leadership’s requirements and organizational goals.
• Support special projects across the OCIO agenda stepping in wherever strategic priorities require dedicated focus and structure.

The successful candidate would possess these skills:

Manager and above:

• Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
• Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
• Ability to lead projects or workstreams
• Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic environment

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, Finance, or a related field; advanced degree or management consulting background is a plus.
• At least 7 years of broad strategy experience—such as management consulting, corporate or business strategy, strategic operations, or a comparable role—within a large, complex organization. Strategy experience matters far more than deep technical or engineering experience.
• Exceptional critical thinking and structured problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to take ambiguous problems, frame them, and drive to a clear, well-reasoned recommendation.
• Strong business acumen and financial literacy, with the ability to build and interpret analysis, business cases, and forecasts.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional initiatives that deliver both strategic and operational results.
• Enough technology fluency and curiosity to reason about technology topics and translate them into strategy; you do not need to be a hands-on engineer, architect, or deep technical specialist, and this is not a technical implementation role.
• Innate curiosity and a growth mindset, with a willingness to continuously learn, adapt, and proactively jump in to tackle new challenges and opportunities.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with experience influencing senior leaders.
• Advanced PowerPoint skills, with demonstrated ability to storyboard and structure executive-level presentations; you think in slides and know how to make a complex idea land clearly with a senior audience.
• Agility and resilience in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Ability to travel 0-10%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve; this role is predominantly remote with the option to work from home or a nearby Deloitte office
• Limited immigration sponsorship may be available
