About the Role

The Business Manager serves as the operating engine behind the Commercial organization, a $2 billion business at S&P Global. This individual owns the management system that keeps a large, complex, matrixed organization aligned and executing, including the operating cadence, business reviews, cross-functional follow-through, priority tracking, and leadership communications. The central purpose of this role is to create leverage and capacity at the top of the organization, enabling the head of Commercial to spend more time in an external, face-of-the-business capacity. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role at the intersection of strategy and operations, designed as a leadership accelerator.

Responsibilities

Serve as the connective tissue across the Commercial organization and key enterprise partners.
Drive cross-functional initiatives from concept through execution.
Navigate a complex web of internal stakeholders across divisions, functions, and enterprise offices.
Own the priority-tracking system—what was committed, by whom, by when, and what is at risk.
Convert leadership decisions into tracked actions with clear accountability and consistent follow-up.
Design and manage the operating calendar for the Commercial organization, including business reviews, leadership meetings, planning cycles, and offsites.
Ensure each forum has a clear purpose, the right inputs, and a decision-oriented agenda.
Draft, structure, and refine leadership communications, executive narratives, and enterprise-facing materials.
Prepare the head of Commercial for high-stakes external engagements—including media interviews, industry panels and keynotes, and key client meetings.
Support internal executive preparation and both annual and quarterly planning, ensuring strategy translates into measurable operating commitments.

Requirements

10+ years relevant industry experience.
Deep understanding of our business model, client base, product portfolio, and commercial dynamics.
Proven ability to navigate complex, matrixed stakeholder environments.
Exceptional structured thinking, written communication, and executive presence.
Strong bias for execution and follow-through, with the ability to hold senior peers accountable.
High discretion, sound judgment, and comfort operating amid ambiguity.
Experience supporting senior leaders in external or public-facing engagements is a strong plus.
Fluency with AI and modern productivity tools to accelerate analysis, drafting, and tracking.
Experience in strategy, business operations, management consulting, or a comparable role.
Prior exposure to a large, matrixed organization operating at scale.
This role is limited to persons with indefinite right to work in the United States.
External candidates who reach the final stage of the interview process must attend at least one in-person interview.
