Strategy Lead

At Team Global Express, we're building a product-led commercial organisation focused on delivering growth, innovation, and customer value across our freight network.

As we continue to accelerate our strategic transformation, we're seeking an experienced Product Strategy Lead to join our Product & Strategy team.

This is a unique opportunity for a commercially minded strategist who can translate vision into action, influence senior stakeholders, and help shape the future direction of one of Australia's leading logistics businesses.

About the Role

Reporting to the Head of Product & Strategy, the Product Strategy Lead will play a critical role in connecting strategic intent with execution across the Freight business.

You will be responsible for developing and maintaining the commercial roadmap, ensuring product, pricing, sales, finance, and operational initiatives remain aligned and focused on delivering measurable business outcomes.

Working across multiple business units, you will drive strategic planning, investment decisions, portfolio prioritisation, and governance while helping the business navigate growth opportunities and transformation initiatives.

This role requires someone who is comfortable operating in ambiguity, influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority, and translating complex business challenges into practical, commercially sound solutions.

• Influence decision-making and drive alignment across multiple business units

• Prepare and present strategic recommendations, business cases, and portfolio updates to senior leadership

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve commercial performance, customer outcomes, and operational effectiveness

• Explore AI, automation, and emerging technologies to support business growth

• Drive a culture of continuous improvement and strategic thinking across the organisation

• Develop and confidently present strategic recommendations to Executive Leadership Team and Board-level audiences

• Influence and align senior stakeholders across multiple business units without direct authority

• Translate complex commercial challenges into structured, actionable plans

• Build compelling business cases supported by financial analysis and commercial rationale

• Lead, coach, and develop team members while building capability within the Product & Strategy function

• Balance strategic thinking with practical execution to deliver measurable business outcomes

About You

You will bring:

• Minimum 7 years' experience in Strategy, Commercial Management, Product Strategy, Consulting, Business Transformation, or a related field

• Demonstrated experience developing and executing commercial strategies

• Strong business case development, financial modelling, and investment evaluation capability

• Experience presenting to ELT, Board, or senior executive stakeholders
