Latest Jobs at ARM Hold Co.

Job Summary

• The Senior Associate, Strategy acts as the strategy partner to ARM’s Business Units, serving effectively as head of strategy to each covered BU on a fractional basis, and as a senior member of the group Strategy & Transformation team. The role exists to close a critical gap: structured strategic planning, monitoring, and challenge at the BU management level, delivered by someone with the seniority and intellectual standard to sit credibly alongside BU MDs and executive teams. This is not a support role. The holder will own BU strategy cycles end-to-end, sit on BU management teams, represent strategic thinking in BU decision-making, and carry group-level work including preparation for the TAM board and Group CEO.

Job Details

Key Relationships

• Head of Strategy & Transformation — line manager; sets priorities and quality standards
• BU Managing Directors — primary working relationship; the holder functions as their strategy partner 
• BU Management Teams — scheduled member of covered BUs’ management forums
• Group CEO and TAM Board — contributor to board papers, portfolio reviews, and strategic agenda

Core Responsibilities

• BU strategy ownership. Lead the annual strategic planning cycle for covered BUs — setting agenda, shaping strategic choices, challenging assumptions, facilitating BU management team discussion, and producing the final strategy document owned by the BU MD. The holder is accountable for the quality and rigor of the BU’s strategic thinking, not only for the process.
• Quarterly strategic monitoring. Run the quarterly strategy review process for covered BUs — tracking execution against plan, surfacing drift early, challenging performance narratives, and ensuring BU MDs have the analytical basis for course correction. Prepare quarterly strategy papers for BU and group forums.
• BU management team contribution. Sit as a scheduled member of covered BUs’ management teams. Contribute strategic perspective to operational decisions, challenge BU thinking where warranted, and ensure group-level strategic direction is reflected in BU choices.
• Group-level strategic work. Contribute to TAM board preparation, Group CEO advisory, board papers, portfolio economics analysis, and competitive positioning work at the group level. Aggregate BU strategic submissions into group-level views for executive and board consumption.
• Competitive and market intelligence. Maintain rigorous view of competitor positioning, macroeconomic and regulatory developments, and sources of competitive advantage for ARM and its BUs.

Success Criteria

At 12 months, the holder is expected to have:

• Delivered annual strategic plans for covered BUs of materially higher rigor than the prior cycle
• Established a functioning quarterly strategic review cadence at each covered BU
• Earned standing as a trusted strategic counterpart to BU MDs, measured by unprompted BU engagement, not forced participation

Requirements

Experience and Background Required

• 6–9 years of strategy experience, including strong foundation in structured problem-solving and strategic analysis
• At least 3 years at a top-tier strategy consulting firm (McKinsey, BCG, PwC, EY-Parthenon) or equivalent in-house group strategy role at a leading financial institution
• Demonstrated experience leading strategic planning or major strategic analysis end-to-end, not in a purely supporting capacity
• Financial services exposure, preferably in asset management, banking, or adjacent sectors
• Direct experience working with C-suite executives; confident operating at senior levels

Strongly Preferred

• Experience in the Nigerian or broader African financial services market
• MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification from a leading institution
• Prior exposure to transformation or major change programs, even if not as lead

Job Summary

• The Transformation Manager is the execution backbone of ARM’s Strategy & Transformation function. The role exists to bring structured delivery discipline, rigorous problem-solving, and hands-on execution support to the CEO-prioritised transformation initiatives that underpin ARM’s FY2026 executive scorecard. This is not a project management role. The holder will diagnose execution bottlenecks, design workable solutions alongside BU teams, drive initiatives through resistance, and hold BU counterparts accountable for delivery — all without line authority. The role demands someone who has both shaped recommendations at consulting-grade standard and landed change inside a real business, with the scars to prove it.

Job Details

Key Relationships

• Head of Strategy & Transformation — line manager; sets transformation priorities and reviews portfolio
• BU Managing Directors and initiative sponsors — primary working relationship on active initiatives; the holder operates as the CEO’s execution partner inside BU-owned work
• BU initiative leads and workstream owners — day-to-day counterparts for initiative delivery
• Group CEO — periodic reporting on transformation portfolio progress; escalation on genuinely stuck items
• Strategy team colleagues — integration between strategic direction and transformation execution

Core Responsibilities

• Transformation initiative delivery. Own the execution rigor on a CEO-prioritized subset of BU-owned transformation initiatives. This includes structuring the initiative into deliverable workstreams, establishing milestones and tracking cadence, diagnosing execution bottlenecks as they emerge, and driving resolution. The holder does not own the initiative (the BU does) but is accountable for the quality and pace of execution discipline applied to it.
• Problem-solving and solution design. When an initiative stalls, the holder diagnoses root cause (whether capability, resourcing, political, or design) and works with BU counterparts to build a workable path forward. This requires consulting-grade problem structuring applied in an operating environment where the holder has no positional authority and cannot simply recommend; they must land.
• BU engagement and accountability. Work directly with BU initiative leads and sponsors to maintain momentum. Hold BU counterparts to commitments on timelines, data provision, and resourcing, escalating only when organic traction has been exhausted. The holder’s standing comes from the quality of their contribution and the credibility of their judgment, not from hierarchy.
• Portfolio monitoring and reporting. Maintain a clear, honest view of the transformation portfolio — what’s on track, what’s drifting, and what should be escalated or killed. Prepare portfolio updates for the Head of Strategy & Transformation and for CEO-level reviews. The holder is expected to call problems early and honestly, not to present optimistic narratives.
• Transformation methodology and tools. Bring and adapt structured transformation approaches — initiative charters, milestone frameworks, risk and dependency tracking, benefits realization — appropriate to ARM’s operating context. Avoid imposing heavyweight methodology for its own sake; the standard is what accelerates delivery, not what produces the most documentation.
• Capability transfer. Build transformation execution capability within BU teams over time. The long-term measure of success is not that the holder is indispensable, but that BU teams are materially more capable of executing change after working with them.

Success Criteria

At 12 months, the holder is expected to have:

• Delivered measurable progress on all CEO-prioritized transformation initiatives, with BU sponsors confirming the quality of execution support
• Established a functioning transformation portfolio tracking and reporting cadence accepted by the Head of Strategy & Transformation and the CEO
• Earned standing with BU MDs and initiative sponsors as a credible execution partner, measured by BU engagement quality, not by volume of deliverables produced
• Built a working relationship with the Transformation Analyst that enables delegation of workstream-level execution

Requirements

Experience and Background Required

• 7–8 years of experience combining management consulting and operational/line experience
• At least 3 years at a top-tier consulting firm (PwC, EY-Parthenon, Deloitte S&O, KPMG) or equivalent
• At least 2 years in a line role, transformation role, or operating role inside a business, not advisory-only
• Demonstrated experience delivering transformation or large-scale change initiatives end-to-end, including managing through organisational resistance
• Financial services exposure, preferably in asset management, banking, pensions, or adjacent sectors
• Direct experience working with senior executives; confident holding ground at MD and C-suite level

Strongly Preferred

• Experience in the Nigerian or broader African financial services market
• MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification from a leading institution
• Prior experience in a group-centre or shared-services transformation role within a holdco structure
