Are you interested in being part of an innovative team that supports Westinghouse’s mission to provide clean energy solutions? At Westinghouse, we recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and we seek to identify, attract and recruit the most qualified talent while recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the global workplace.

Westinghouse is positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities as many countries and major sectors of the global economy commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving energy security. By virtue of these trends, Westinghouse’s business is expected to deliver above-market growth rates from organic and inorganic sources.  

The Consultant, Corporate Strategy will help shape Westinghouse’s portfolio composition and competitive strategy by being an advisor to the Executive Staff and the General Managers.  You will have an opportunity to define and shape Westinghouse’s Corporate Strategy function and build the team.  Most importantly, you will play a key role in the creation of shareholder value by helping address the most important strategic questions across Westinghouse, including:

• Help the Business Segments and Business Units develop strategies that drive above-market organic and inorganic growth, working closely with leadership to ensure both cross-functional involvement and real-time input as the external environment (e.g., technology, customer needs, regulations, competitors, etc.) evolves. 
• Help identify new growth platforms, growth opportunities within business units, and across businesses – through the identification of attractive market spaces, determining what it takes to win, assessing competitive position and business models, and then helping the organizing to align on the strategic direction and execution plan
• Ensure that the business strategies clearly articulate the business choices, are well-defined, lay out talent and resource requirements, and are implementable.
• Successful strategy delivery should result in industry-leading growth and profit margins.
• Identify, synthesize and communicate key trends across industries, segments, regions and competitors.
• Help support the strategic planning process and deepen strategic capabilities in the organization.

• Support and enhance talent management for the strategy organization, including talent acquisition, development, and retention objectives
• Assist in strategy development that enables the organization to frame and make the critical strategic decisions to grow and profitably defend the business.  Constructively challenge the organization to refine its “where to play” and “how to win” choices to drive growth, improve profitability, and sustain competitive advantage.
  • ​​​​​​​Lead joint Corporate, BU and Innovation teams in solving complex business problems using a hands-on hypothesis-driven approach

• Partner with Finance colleagues to understand the financial impact of strategic decisions and drive greater strategic focus down into individual businesses.  Help the businesses identify and develop plans to close gaps between business aspirations and current strategic plans and capabilities.
