Vice President - Strategy & Business Transformation

Job Description:

The New York Post is one of America’s most iconic and recognizable news brands — delivering bold headlines, unforgettable scoops, and sharp commentary since 1801. With a legacy built on fearless journalism and a distinctly New York attitude, The Post has evolved far beyond its print roots to become a modern media powerhouse. 

Today, the New York Post Digital Network is one of the most influential voices in the industry, reaching over 80 million unique users each month across our expansive, ever-growing portfolio. Anchored by NYPost.com, PageSix.com, and Decider.com, our digital brands deliver must-read breaking news, sports, entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle coverage with the same wit, edge, and energy that define The Post. With innovation at our core, we’ve built a true multi-platform ecosystem — spanning web, mobile apps, video, audio, social, print, TV, and commerce. From viral headlines and exclusive stories to original series, podcasts, and live events, we’re engaging audiences where they are — and always on the pulse of what’s next. 

We are seeking an experienced, highly analytical, and execution-oriented Vice President, Strategy & Business Transformation. In this role, the incumbent will work closely with the Chief Technology & Strategy Officer and the senior leadership team to build and operationalize enterprise capabilities. Key responsibilities include translating strategic priorities into actionable business decisions, aligning resources around our highest-value opportunities, and driving measurable results.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role for a strategic thinker who can move seamlessly between executive-level problem-solving and practical implementation. The successful candidate will help establish the frameworks, processes, governance, and operating rhythms that enable leaders to make informed decisions, prioritize investments, manage competing resources, and accelerate strategic initiatives.

The ideal candidate combines the analytical rigor of a management consultant with the pragmatism of an operator. They are comfortable navigating ambiguity, challenging assumptions, influencing senior stakeholders, and turning complex business questions into clear recommendations and measurable outcomes.

Importantly, this role serves as an enabler and facilitator of enterprise strategy. Business leaders retain accountability for decisions and execution within their respective functions.

Key Responsibilities:

Enterprise Strategy & Executive Alignment

• Partner with the Chief Technology & Strategy Officer and executive leadership to translate the enterprise operating model into actionable priorities, processes, and governance.

• Facilitate executive alignment on strategic priorities, organizational objectives, decision rights, and resource allocation.

• Help define the Strategy Team’s mandate, operating model, engagement approach, and partnership with business functions.

• Prepare executive presentations, decision briefs, and recommendations to support critical business decisions.

• Identify opportunities to strengthen cross-functional alignment and accelerate enterprise-wide initiatives.

Strategic Portfolio & Initiative Management

• Establish and maintain a consolidated view of enterprise initiatives, strategic investments, resources, ownership, milestones, and expected business outcomes.

• Develop consistent evaluation frameworks to assess initiatives based on strategic alignment, financial and operational value, ownership, and execution capacity.

• Facilitate portfolio reviews and recommend opportunities to accelerate, continue, sequence, redesign, or discontinue initiatives.

• Identify resource constraints, competing priorities, dependencies, and opportunities to redirect capacity toward higher-value business objectives.

• Establish transparent portfolio reporting and tracking mechanisms.

Business Strategy & Decision Support

• Lead and support high-priority strategic engagements across the organization, translating complex business questions into actionable recommendations.

• Develop business cases, financial analyses, scenario models, and strategic assessments to inform investment and resource decisions.

• Create structured decision-making frameworks that clearly outline business questions, supporting evidence, alternatives, financial implications, risks, and recommendations.

• Work backward from defined decision milestones to ensure strategic engagements produce timely, actionable outcomes.

• Challenge assumptions and identify opportunities to improve business performance, operational effectiveness, and organizational alignment.

Strategy Operations & Governance

• Design and implement the Strategy Team’s operating processes, including initiative intake, prioritization, engagement selection, and delivery tracking.

• Establish and facilitate regular enterprise strategy reviews, portfolio reviews, and executive decision forums.

• Develop governance tools, templates, decision logs, dashboards, and accountability mechanisms.

• Clarify roles and responsibilities across executive sponsors, initiative owners, working teams, and decision-makers.

• Streamline existing reporting and meeting structures to improve decision velocity and reduce unnecessary administrative processes.

Enterprise Performance & Organizational Effectiveness

• Partner with Finance, Human Resources, Technology, Product, Editorial, and Revenue leadership to connect enterprise strategy with financial investment, organizational capacity, and business performance.

• Develop an enterprise scorecard and key performance indicators to measure strategic progress, financial impact, execution, audience growth, and organizational effectiveness.

• Monitor initiative performance, identify barriers to execution, and facilitate timely resolution of cross-functional issues.

• Support change management and organizational adoption of new strategy processes and operating practices.

• Build the capabilities, tools, and knowledge transfer necessary to establish a sustainable Strategy Operations function.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Strategy, or a related discipline; advanced degree or MBA preferred.

• 8+ years of progressive experience in corporate strategy, management consulting, business operations, enterprise transformation, or strategy execution.

• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing enterprise prioritization, portfolio management, and strategic operating frameworks.

• Strong financial acumen, including business case development, financial modeling, investment analysis, and resource planning.

• Proven ability to partner with CEOs, C-suite executives, and senior functional leaders.

• Experience facilitating complex business discussions, challenging assumptions, and navigating competing priorities and resource tradeoffs.

• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, executive communication, and presentation skills.

• Ability to translate complex information and ambiguity into concise insights, options, and actionable recommendations.

• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and influencing stakeholders without direct reporting authority.

• Media, digital publishing, advertising, audience development, subscription, product, or technology experience strongly preferred.
