Strategy Analyst - Fertilisers
Brisbane, Australia
In my role as a Strategy Analyst, I led the annual strategy process and M&A portfolio, collaborating closely with the executive team to shape the fertiliser business’s strategic direction. I used data-driven insights to address complex and dynamic business challenges with consideration to both the fertiliser manufacturing assets and distribution network. However, I was also committed to influencing the company’s direction in line with my personal values, which included transitioning to a low-carbon future while balancing economic risks. Additionally, I focused on developing solutions that not only drove business outcomes but also created an environment where employees felt engaged and enthusiastic about our shared objectives. Key highlights included:▪ M&A Leadership: Led due diligence processes and developed financial / valuation models for acquisitions, managing external stakeholders and developing comprehensive business cases for board approval. ▪ Strategic Planning: Developed and implemented business strategies, both short and long term, by collaborating with cross-functional teams and senior leaders to drive sustainable growth.▪ Strategic Implementation and Process Optimisation: Led and facilitated workshops to align teams on strategic priorities to improve the delivery of targeted business growth. Led a diverse range of change management activities which resulted in more effective execution of business strategies and improved organisational efficiency.▪ Market Insights and Analysis: Analysed emerging market trends, competitor dynamics and regulatory changes to proactively adjust business strategies, mitigating potential risks and identifying emerging opportunities.▪ Portfolio Management: Managed the fertilisers product portfolio review process, working directly under the Vice President of Agronomy and Innovation as part of the company’s integrated business planning process.
