The Strategy Intelligence Lead is responsible for architecting, scaling, and operationalizing the centralized Market, Competitive, and Customer Intelligence capability within the Strategy organization. This role leads the development of a proactive, repeatable, and insight-driven function that acts as the strategic nervous system of the North American Strategy & Operations organization—enabling the executive team, strategy leaders, and business units to make high-impact decisions rooted in external market context and forward-looking insight.

You will set the strategic vision for how intelligence informs planning, investment, and growth—and lead a team that turns fragmented signals into integrated insight platforms. This role requires someone who is equally skilled in executive communication, strategic modeling, team leadership, and cross-functional orchestration.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the development of strategic intelligence deliverables including:
• Quarterly Market & Competitive Outlooks
• Market Sizing & Forecasts
• Executive-Ready Competitive Briefings
• Customer Insight Syntheses
• Strategic Insight Packs for ELT and Board
• Serve as the strategic liaison between Intelligence and:
• Strategic Planning & development
• CEO Office / Annual Strategy
• Transformation & Growth Initiatives
• Finance, Product, Sales, and Marketing
• Build and mentor a high-performing team of 4-6 analysts and managers
• Own relationships with external research vendors, tools, and benchmarking sources
• Create a structured knowledge base, taxonomy, and insight repository for the organization.

Qualifications

• 6 - 10 years of experience in strategy, market intelligence, consulting, or enterprise planning
• 5 years of experience of understanding of the Electrical technology and equipment industry, including key players (Eaton, ABB, GE, Siemens, Vertiv, Honeywell), market dynamics and business drivers.
• Experience navigating diverse sales channels (direct, distributors, system integrators).
• Proven success standing up or maturing intelligence or insights teams
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguity into action and frameworks
• Advanced executive communication and storytelling skills
• Strong grasp of market modeling, scenario planning, and competitive strategy
• Familiarity with external data sources (e.g., NEMA, John Burns, IDC, CapIQ, McKinsey, etc.)

Success Factors

• Strategy org and executive leaders routinely rely on intelligence deliverables in key decisions
• A regular cadence of MI deliverables is embedded in enterprise planning and comms cycles
• Insights evolve from ad-hoc response to proactive, predictive guidance
• Internal teams adopt shared views of market, customer, and competitive context
• The intelligence team is seen as a strategic partner, not just an analytical support function
