Knauf stands for opportunity. We know that opportunity looks different to each person and we are proud that we see opportunity in everyone. This exciting role within Knauf Insulation could be the perfect next opportunity for you to build a unique career with a clear purpose of making tomorrow a home for all of us. We are driven by four core values: entrepreneurship, partnership, commitment, and menschlichkeit—a German term representing humanity and mutual respect.
As a Group we are a global manufacturer of construction materials and our 41,500 team members in 90 countries across 300 sites provide a huge opportunity for anyone with ambition and energy. We value everyone's contribution equally and we ask that you bring your whole self to work, to enrich the business further, as together we achieve more in a safe and inclusive environment.
We have a 40-year heritage in manufacturing insulation and have big plans for the future. Our global reach in 40 countries continues to grow and we are looking for passionate, ambitious people to join our 6000-strong team and help us achieve our goals. We are all led by the same core values and believe in the powerful potential of large companies to have a positive impact on the world.
The expansion of the Strategy Department means we are now looking to recruit a new Senior Strategy Manager in Visé, Belgium and reporting to the Director of Business Strategy.
Can you say yes ?
  • Do you have experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver impactful results?
  • Are you skilled in developing and executing strategic initiatives across multiple regions?
  • Can you thrive in a fast-paced environment, managing high-stakes projects with resilience?
  • Can you effectively engage and collaborate with diverse stakeholders to drive strategic alignment?
What you’ll be doing:
As Senior Strategy Manager, you will be responsible for the management of the daily operations of the Strategy Business Unit and its team, while driving the development and execution of long-term business strategies and overseeing the Knauf strategy portfolio and transformation projects.
More specifically, your responsibilities include:
  • Daily Operations & Team Management:
    • Lead the daily operations of the Strategy Business Unit, ensuring seamless coordination and effective execution of projects.
    • Manage and mentor a cross-functional team, including a Business Analyst Manager, Business Process Transformation Manager, Marketing Intelligence Specialist, and Junior Business Analyst.
    • Oversee team performance, resource allocation, and professional development, fostering a high-performance culture and continuous improvement.
  • Strategy Development & Execution:
    • Lead the development and execution of the business strategy in close collaboration with senior leadership, ensuring alignment with corporate objectives.
    • Oversee long-term planning processes and ensure the delivery of actionable strategic initiatives to meet business growth targets.
  • Portfolio Management:
    • Manage the Knauf Strategy portfolio, ensuring timely execution of key strategic projects and transformation initiatives.
    • Establish governance structures to track project progress, manage risks, and ensure delivery of results.
  • Transformation & Change Management:
    • Lead the implementation of large-scale transformation projects, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and driving innovation.
    • Manage change management efforts to ensure smooth transitions and the adoption of new systems and processes.
  • Stakeholder Engagement:
    • Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment of strategic priorities.
    • Present regular updates on strategy, performance metrics, and project progress to executive leadership.
What we’d love for you to have:
We’re interested in you as a person—your attitude, behaviors, and values. If you bring a strategic mindset, strong project management capabilities, and a proven track record in delivering complex, multi-dimensional projects, we’d love to speak with you. With a willingness to learn and grow in the role, you’ll excel here if you can inspire a diverse, autonomous team, engage effectively with senior stakeholders, and leverage your analytical, data-driven approach to drive impactful results.
You also have:
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, Economics, Finance, or Engineering; Master’s degree preferred.
  • MBA or advanced degree in Strategy or related field is highly desirable.
  • 8-10 years of experience in strategy development, corporate planning, or business consulting, with experience leading cross-functional teams in a high-paced environment.
  • Background in financial strategy and project management, ideally with experience in strategy or management consulting firms
  • Familiarity with the insulation industry or building materials sector is a plus but not required.
  • Fluency in English is mandatory, with French or German being a plus, and proficiency in other European languages considered an asset.
We will provide:
As this is a central, international position, the package and associated benefits will be those of the contract's host country. Our common criterion was to build a comprehensive salary package that stands out in the market.
On top of that, a dedicated time for personal development and potential for leadership training will be provided.
What happens next?
We appreciate that your time is precious and applying for a new job can be a lengthy process - so we have committed to replying to your application within a week.
Our commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion (DE&I) reinforces our Knauf Insulation values of Making Tomorrow a Home for all of us. We are committed to creating a workplace where we all can thrive, whoever we are, and inspiring a culture of inclusion and innovation that will drive future business success. We do our best to make sure being at work feels like home.
