Description

 

Ready to shape the future of business models and drive strategic growth?

 

Join our team and see what we will accomplish together

 

Join a dynamic team at the heart of TELUS' strategic transformation. As Strategy Manager, you'll be instrumental in developing innovative business and contractual models that redefine how we serve millions of Canadians. This is a high-impact role where your strategic thinking will directly influence multi-million dollar decisions and shape the future of Canada's leading telecommunications company.

 

You'll work at the intersection of strategy, finance, and business development—collaborating directly with C-level executives, Corporate Development & Affairs, and strategic partners to unlock transformational growth opportunities. Your insights won't just inform decisions; they'll drive them.

 

  • Direct exposure to executive leadership and board-level strategic initiatives
  • Influence on major partnerships, new business models, and market expansion strategies
  • Opportunity to shape deals and frameworks that will define TELUS' competitive advantage
  • Fast-paced environment where your recommendations translate into real business outcomes

Here's how

 

Strategic Development & Innovation

 

  • Develop and evaluate groundbreaking business and contractual models with business and legal teams to maximize value and mitigate risk
  • Lead the strategic assessment of new market opportunities, partnerships, and revenue streams
  • Design frameworks that balance growth ambitions with financial discipline

 

Financial Analysis & Modeling

 

  • Conduct sophisticated financial analysis to assess viability, ROI, and risk profiles of strategic partnerships and business opportunities
  • Build robust financial models and scenario analyses that support multi-million dollar executive decisions
  • Translate complex financial data into compelling business cases

 

Partnership & Stakeholder Management

 

  • Partner with Corporate Development and Finance teams to align strategic initiatives with organizational goals
  • Identify, structure, and negotiate strategic collaboration opportunities with internal and external stakeholders
  • Coordinate comprehensive due diligence for potential partners, including financial, strategic, and operational evaluation

 

Executive Communication & Influence

 

  • Present strategic recommendations to senior leaders and C-suite executives by synthesizing complex data into actionable insights
  • Serve as a trusted advisor on high-stakes business decisions
  • Support implementation of strategic initiatives across operational and functional teams

 

Advanced knowledge of English is required because you will most of the time interact in English with external parties (clients, suppliers, candidates, external partners, etc.); interact in English with internal parties (colleagues, internal partners, stakeholders, etc.); and work with IT tools whose interface is only accessible in English as part of this position's main responsibilities given its national scope.

Required:

 

  • 5-7 years of experience in corporate strategy, business development, corporate finance, or top-tier management consulting (Big 4, MBB, or equivalent)

  • Experience structuring and analyzing complex contractual models, strategic partnerships, and deal structures
  • Strong analytical skills with ability to synthesize complex data into clear, actionable recommendations that drive executive decision-making
  • Excellent communication skills in both French and English (written and verbal), with proven ability to present to and influence senior management (bilingual required)
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-priority projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills and experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across all organizational levels
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, Economics, or related field
