As Strategy Manager, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the long-term direction of Asahi Beverages. You’ll work on strategic projects that address our biggest opportunities and challenges, supporting enterprise level priorities and cross functional growth. These projects sit outside business-as-usual and often require dedicated focus, fresh thinking and strong engagement across the business. Your work will influence decisions at the highest levels and help unlock meaningful value across our Oceania operations.

  • Collaborate across functions and levels, working with senior leaders, peers and on-the-ground teams

About You:

  • You have 3-5 years’ experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy or similar roles involving structured thinking and business planning
  • Previous experience in a top-tier consulting firm or in an in-house strategy team is highly regarded, while relevant industry experience is also valued.
  • You’re confident working independently on complex projects and equally comfortable engaging senior stakeholders
  • You bring strong analytical skills and can turn data into clear, practical insights
  • You’re an excellent communicator, able to translate complexity into clarity
  • You’re commercially minded and bring a growth mindset to everything you do
