Learn more about how CR advocates on behalf of our employees. OVERVIEW CR's Enterprise & Strategy team is the driving force behind our organization. This team leads our strategic vision and planning, overseeing initiatives that enhance our operational effectiveness, drive impact for consumers, improve the marketplace, and position CR for long term success. As Director, Strategic Initiatives, you'll help CR chart new territory — developing, testing, and scaling business opportunities that extend our mission and create new sources of value. This role is ideal for someone who is entrepreneurial and thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly from concept to action, and brings commercial instincts with purpose-driven ambition. This is a highly visible, hands-on role that will work closely with senior leaders across CR to shape our growth portfolio, incubate new models, and unlock opportunities that strengthen both our mission and business.

ABOUT YOU: You'll Be Highly Rated If You: • Have 10+ years of experience in business building, growth strategy, or operations — whether from consulting, corporate innovation, nonprofit or entrepreneurial settings., • Combine strategic thinking with a bias for action — you thrive in ambiguity, work autonomously, and turn ideas into tangible results., • Understand business models and market dynamics — how value is created, captured, and scaled., • Have a track record of leading complex, cross-functional initiatives from concept through execution., • Communicate with clarity and influence, producing materials that move executive and Board-level decisions forward., • Have the ability to navigate ambiguity, influence without authority, and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders. You'll Be One Of Our Top Picks If You: • Bring partnership-building and/or B2B experience, ideally in a growth or innovation context., • Have built or scaled a new business line, product, or venture inside an established organization.
