About the Role
We are seeking a highly analytical, commercially minded Strategy Director to join Temenos' Corporate Strategy team, reporting directly to the Head of Strategy. This is a high-impact role with exposure to the CEO, Executive Committee, and senior leadership, helping shape Temenos' strategic direction and long-term growth agenda. You will work across a broad range of strategic priorities, including market expansion, new product opportunities, emerging technologies, corporate development, and other high-priority strategic initiatives. The role requires a combination of rigorous problem-solving, deep commercial judgment, and the ability to translate complex analysis into clear strategic recommendations. As an individual contributor within a lean strategy team, you will be expected to independently structure and drive complex strategic projects, engage senior stakeholders, and influence important business decisions. This is an opportunity for an experienced strategy consultant to move into a global corporate strategy role, working on consequential strategic questions at the intersection of banking, enterprise software, and emerging technologies.
Responsibilities
- Support the development and execution of Temenos' corporate strategy, identifying opportunities to accelerate growth, strengthen competitive positioning, and create long-term value.
- Evaluate geographic expansion opportunities, market attractiveness, competitive dynamics, and potential routes to market.
- Assess new product and business opportunities, including market sizing, customer demand, competitive positioning, business models, and commercial viability.
- Evaluate the strategic implications of emerging technologies, such as AI and digital money, identifying opportunities and threats to Temenos' business.
- Support the evaluation of strategic partnerships, inorganic growth opportunities, and potential acquisitions, including strategic fit, market attractiveness, and value creation potential.
- Lead high-priority, cross-functional strategic initiatives sponsored by the CEO, Executive Committee, or Head of Strategy.
- Develop compelling, fact-based strategic recommendations and presentations to support executive-level discussions and Board decision-making.
- Analyze industry trends, competitor strategies, technology developments, and evolving customer needs to inform strategic choices.
- Work closely with Product, Sales, Finance, and other leadership teams to translate strategic recommendations into actionable initiatives.
Requirements
- Current or former consultant at McKinsey, BCG, or Bain, with experience at Senior Project Leader, Principal, Associate Partner, or equivalent level.
- Strong experience in Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT), ideally with exposure to enterprise software, financial technology, or technology-enabled businesses. Banking software experience preferred but not mandatory.
- Demonstrated ability to independently structure ambiguous problems, develop hypotheses, conduct rigorous analysis, and synthesize findings into actionable recommendations.
- Strong understanding of technology business models, market dynamics, competitive positioning, growth strategy, and value creation levers.
- Experience in market sizing, business case development, financial modelling, and evaluating strategic investments.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to develop compelling CEO- and Board-level presentations.
- Proven ability to engage and influence senior executives, challenge assumptions constructively, and drive alignment around strategic priorities.
- Comfortable operating as an individual contributor, managing multiple complex workstreams with limited supervision and driving work from problem definition through to executive recommendations.
- Strong interest in technology, innovation, and the evolving banking and financial services landscape.
- Strong academic credentials. An MBA from a leading business school is advantageous.
