Are you a proactive leader and problem solver, equally comfortable with conducting research and running complex financial analyses as you are building relationships and interfacing with partners across all levels of the organization? Do you have a team-oriented attitude, sense of fun, and eagerness to tackle unique business challenges? If you thrive on questioning assumptions, thinking strategically, and driving execution, with a constant pull toward 'why' and 'how can we improve', the Corporate Alliances Strategy Manager role may be for you. Disney's Corporate Alliances team develops and holistically manages complex, long-term, multi-dimensional relationships with select brands and companies. This team is dedicated to creating incremental value to The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) and its partners through creative development of marketing and sponsorship programs, management of partner relationships across all business units at TWDC and the creation of new partnerships aligned with the Company's businesses and strategic goals. The Strategy Manager helps lead strategy, financial analysis, and recommendation development for the Corporate Alliances organization. The Manager will work closely with Business Development teams and leadership (VP, SVP) to develop strategic analysis and approaches for the pursuit of Disney's largest accounts, many of which are integrated across the Disney company (Parks, studios, direct-to-consumer, media, consumer products). The Manager will also be responsible for developing approaches to measuring the ROI (return on investment) of key partnerships, which will include data collection and analysis, as well as collaboration with Disney's consumer insights group for survey development and analysis.
