Remote Strategy Director jobs

10 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Leads analysis and planning on a company's largest decisions: which markets to enter, where to invest, what to acquire or shut down, and how to set long-range goals. A strategy director structures open questions, directs the research and financial modeling, and presents recommendations to executives. In advertising and brand agencies, the same title refers to leading brand or communications strategy for clients.

About the Strategy Director role

  • Frames a strategic question with the executive sponsor and breaks it into hypotheses the team can test.
  • Directs market sizing, competitor analysis, and financial models built by analysts and finance partners.
  • Writes the executive narrative and supporting slides for leadership team and board discussions on major decisions.
  • Runs the annual planning cycle, aligning business unit goals with company-level targets and budgets.
  • Leads cross-functional initiatives after a decision is made until an operating team takes ownership.

What employers ask for

  • Management consulting or corporate strategy background
  • Financial modeling and market analysis
  • Structured problem solving
  • Executive-level writing and presentations
  • Leading cross-functional initiatives
  • MBA, often preferred

Doing this job remotely

The analytical work is portable, but the role depends on trust with senior executives, which is harder to build from a distance. Remote strategy directors compensate with regular travel to headquarters, planning offsites, and board meetings. Material is highly confidential, so employers expect secure handling and often overlap with leadership's working hours.

Where it comes from and where it leads

The usual background is management consulting, investment banking, or corporate development, followed by an in-house strategy manager role. Directors move on to vice president of strategy, chief of staff, or general management of a business unit.
