Senior Strategy Manager (Financial Information Strategy Lead)

As Senior Strategy Manager with focus on Financial Information Strategy, you'll own the Business Unit’s strategic direction, defining where it competes and wins, leading both organic and inorganic (M&A) initiatives, and acting as the strategic sparring partner to the Head Financial Information business unit and their leadership team. This is a role for someone who brings either the strategist's craft or deep domain knowledge of the data and information business and ideally a bit of both.

What You Will Do

• Own and evolve the strategy of the Financial Information business unit – defining how and where it competes across data, indices, and analytics, and what to build, buy, or partner for next
• Connect the Financial Information strategy across SIX – identifying opportunities with other business units and ensuring the Financial Information agenda aligns the broader SIX Group strategy
• Lead inorganic growth – source, evaluate, and help execute M&A, partnerships, and investments that strengthen the data and information portfolio
• Drive the organic strategic agenda – new products, markets, and capabilities
• Act as strategic sparring partner to the Head Financial Information business unit on the decisions that shape the business
• Turn market shifts into a clear point of view – competitive and vendor dynamics, client needs, and the numbers – and into recommendations leaders can act on
• Build and present the material that drives decisions for senior management

What You Bring

• A track record (typically 5+ years) in one of two profiles (or combined):
  • Strategy or finance: management consulting, corporate strategy, or corporate finance / investment banking, ideally with exposure to financial markets or information services; or
  • Industry: the financial data and information business – a data vendor or marketinfrastructure provider (e.g., Bloomberg, LSEG, S&P Global, Morningstar, FactSet) – in strategy, product, or commercial roles
• A real feel for the financial-information and data-vendor landscape – the products, the competitors, and where the market is heading – or the curiosity and speed to get there fast
• Proven ability to lead strategic initiatives end to end, including shaping the strategic rationale and direction of M&A and major investments
• Sharp analytical and conceptual thinking – you can frame an ambiguous problem and build the case for a decision
• Equally comfortable with the numbers and the narrative – you can build or pressuretest a business case and land it in a board-ready presentation
• A bachelor's or master's in business, economics, finance, industrial engineering, or a related field; an advanced degree is a plus
• Fluent English is essential. German and/or Spanish is a plus
