Manager, Strategic Planning & Executive Decision Support

Partner with the President, CFO, VP of Strategic Decision Support, and Executive Team to help shape key topics, messages, questions, and decisions for major meetings and presentations.

Develop presentation storylines, outlines, executive-level slides, and supporting materials for Board, shareholder, leadership, and other strategic meetings.

Synthesize financial, operational, market, and strategic information developed across the organization into concise, decision-oriented executive communications.

Own the end-to-end content-development process for major presentations, including maintaining detailed timelines, communicating deadlines and reminders, tracking deliverables, following up with contributors, and proactively escalating risks to completion.

During Board meeting cycles, coordinate materials across approximately 30 individual meetings, including collecting slides and other inputs from stakeholders, consolidating and reformatting materials, managing revisions, tracking senior leadership review and approval, and ensuring final presentations are complete and ready on schedule.

Coordinate with leaders and functional teams responsible for contributing content, establishing clear expectations and timelines and driving the process through completion.

Integrate materials from multiple contributors into a cohesive presentation, ensuring consistency of messaging, level of detail, data, and overall narrative.

Lead editorial and content-quality review and efficiently incorporate feedback from senior leadership.

Support the President and senior leadership on selected priority strategic initiatives and ad hoc business questions.

Help structure complex or ambiguous business questions, identify the information and analysis needed to inform decisions, and synthesize inputs into clear implications and recommendations.

Partner closely with FP&A, Business Planning & Market Analysis, and other functional teams to leverage existing expertise and analysis in support of strategic priorities and executive decision-making.

Connect insights across financial performance, business planning, market dynamics, operations, and other areas to help leadership develop a comprehensive view of key issues.

Help identify emerging issues, opportunities, and questions that warrant additional analysis or leadership attention.

Where appropriate, provide hands-on analytical support to supplement existing teams, particularly for time-sensitive priorities or when additional capacity is needed.

Build strong working relationships across functions and levels of the organization.

Drive alignment and execution across stakeholders without relying on formal authority.

Develop a strong understanding of Shields’ business, partnerships, strategic priorities, and key performance drivers.

Serve as a connector across teams, helping ensure that relevant expertise, analysis, and perspectives are brought together effectively for senior leadership.

The successful candidate will become a trusted strategic partner to senior leadership and a central resource for translating complex business issues into clear, decision-ready materials. They will bring structure to important but often ambiguous work, anticipate what is needed rather than simply responding to requests, and raise the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of Shields’ executive-level presentations and strategic decision support.

Equally important, this individual will work effectively across the existing Strategic Decision Support teams—leveraging and elevating the expertise of FP&A and Business Planning & Market Analysis rather than duplicating it—and help ensure that the strongest insights from across the organization are effectively incorporated into leadership discussions and decisions. The pay range for this position is $125,000–$135,000, plus bonus and benefits. Individual compensation is based on skills, experience, qualifications, and other relevant factors.
