Strategic Planning Manager
CADDi is a global manufacturing platform on a mission to "unleash the potential of manufacturing." Through our proprietary technology, we are transforming a trillion-dollar industry by digitizing the supply chain and providing critical infrastructure for both procurement and manufacturing teams. As we scale our North American operations, we are looking for a Strategic Planning Manager who can turn data into a strategic weapon.
The Strategic Planning Manager acts as the "internal consultant" and data architect for CADDi's North American expansion. This is not a customer-facing role; instead, you will be the engine behind our internal operations. You will extract and synthesize complex marketing, sales, and operational data, turning "complete chaos" into a structured "Rhythm of Business."
You will provide the CEO, CFO, and VP-level leadership with the metrics and intelligence required to scale a high-growth organization.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own the core: Maintain and evolve CADDi's North American KPI framework (Revenue, Pipeline, Retention, Productivity, and Unit Economics).
- Visualization: Design and improve executive dashboards and operating metrics that provide real-time visibility into the health of the business.
- Trend analysis: Proactively identify performance risks and opportunities, surfacing them to the leadership team before they become critical issues.
- Strategic insights: Translate raw data into clear, actionable recommendations for the executive suite.
- Financial modeling: Support decision-making through structured analyses, scenario modeling, and deep-dive investigations.
- Executive support: Lead the preparation for Board meetings, Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), and annual strategic planning sessions.
- Alignment: Partner with VPs and Directors to ensure functional plans (Sales, Marketing, CS) align with overarching company goals.
- Accountability: Track execution against quarterly goals and follow up on action items to ensure the organization stays on pace.
- System architecture: Build and manage agentic workflows (using SQL, n8n, or Zapier) to automate data collection from disparate sources, eliminating manual silos and "spreadsheet fatigue."
Who you are:
- The consultant-operator: You have a "Consultant-turned-Operator" mindset. You can break down messy, ambiguous problems into structured plans, but you have the bias for action required to execute them.
- The data architect: You don't just report data; you understand the architecture behind it. You are obsessed with accuracy and the narrative that data tells.
- The high performer: You are likely at the Engagement Manager (EM) level or a high-performing Associate at a top-tier firm (e.g., McKinsey, BCG, Bain) looking to make a massive impact in a "0 to 1" environment.
