Senior Manager, Strategy & Planning Lead / London / Hybrid / Permanent / Competitive basic salary / plus benefits

EXPERIENCE YOU’LL BRING

• A strategic mindset with a builder’s heart; you see the big picture, ask the right questions, and turn ideas into action
• Experience in consulting, corporate strategy, or business operations where you’ve tackled ambiguity and driven impact without waiting for perfect conditions
• An MBA or equivalent background that reflects structured thinking, commercial instincts, and a drive to help businesses grow
• The ability to roll up your sleeves and help teams translate big goals into actionable, well-structured strategic plans
• A strong sense of accountability; you help teams stay focused, track progress, surface risks, and deliver what matters
• Cross-functional influencing skills that enable you to align diverse stakeholders and move work forward, even without direct authority
• Executive storytelling that connects strategy to outcomes; your communication builds clarity and confidence in the path ahead
• Energy for both strategy and execution; you’re just as comfortable facilitating a planning session as you are driving progress review cadences
• A calm, grounded presence with low ego, high ownership, and a bias toward outcomes over process
• (Bonus) Familiarity with fuel, payments, or mobility—or the curiosity and drive to get smart quickly

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of WEX’s European Mobility business during a pivotal period of transformation and growth. As we reimagine how we serve evolving fleet and mobility needs, you’ll be at the center of it all, steering strategy, driving clarity, and helping teams deliver with focus and urgency.
As Strategy & Planning Lead, you’ll be the GM’s right hand and a core member of the leadership team. Part strategist, part operator, part orchestrator, you’ll bring direction, discipline, and momentum to our most critical priorities. You’ll lead our growth strategy, support critical problem solving, and create the structure and momentum needed to execute at speed. You’ll love this role if you enjoy crafting big-picture strategies just as much as helping teams turn them into clear, actionable plans and staying accountable to results.
You’ll also work closely with the Head of International Product, helping to shape our product strategy and ensure strong alignment between European and country specific commercial and product strategy. This is a highly cross-functional role with influence across sales, product, finance, marketing, and operations.
Success in this role requires someone who brings a pan-European perspective, ideally with experience in both UK and continental markets, and who thrives in complex, multi-country environments. You’ll be most at home here if you’re energized by ambiguity, passionate about scaling impact, and excited to lead through change, influence across cultures, and deliver results in a fast-moving, digitally evolving landscape.
