We make health happen!

At Bupa, we're helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. As a healthcare business with no shareholders, our focus is always on our customers and the communities we serve.

We're looking for a Group Strategy Manager to join our Group Strategy and Transformation team. This is a rare opportunity to work at the heart of Bupa's global business, helping shape the strategic decisions that influence our future direction across health insurance and healthcare services.

You'll join a small, supportive and high-performing team that works closely with Bupa's executive leadership team and Board. From identifying growth opportunities and analysing market trends, to helping deliver major strategic initiatives, you'll play an important role in turning ambitious ideas into action.

This is an opportunity to combine strategic thinking, commercial insight and problem solving while working on some of the most important opportunities and challenges facing a global healthcare organisation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Help shape Bupa's group-wide strategy and support long-term planning activities.
• Support the delivery of strategic projects and transformation programmes from initial research and analysis through to executive recommendations and global mobilisation.
• Conduct market, competitor and industry research to identify emerging trends and strategic opportunities.
• Analyse customer, clinical, operational and financial data to uncover drivers of performance and growth.
• Structure complex business challenges, test strategic hypotheses and develop clear, actionable recommendations.
• Prepare high-quality presentations, reports and briefing materials for senior leaders, executives and Board audiences.
• Work closely with stakeholders across Bupa's markets and business units to support strategic planning activities.
• Build strong relationships across the organisation and act as a trusted partner on strategy-related initiatives.
• Support continuous improvement within the Strategy team by identifying more effective ways of working.
• Share knowledge and help develop strategy capability across the wider business.

What We're Looking For:

We're interested in hearing from people who bring a combination of strategic thinking, commercial awareness and strong relationship-building skills.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience in strategy, management consulting, business planning, corporate development or a similar role.
• Strong research and analytical skills, with the ability to turn complex information into clear recommendations.
• Experience working with data and developing insights to support business decisions.
• Confidence presenting information through written reports, presentations and discussions with senior stakeholders.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality work within deadlines.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• A collaborative, curious and proactive approach to problem solving.
• A degree-level qualification, with additional strategy, business or finance qualifications being beneficial.
• Knowledge of healthcare, health insurance or related sectors would be helpful but isn't essential.

Benefits

Our benefits are designed to make health happen for our people. Viva is our global wellbeing programme and includes all aspects of our health - from mental and physical, to financial, social and environmental wellbeing. We support flexible working and have a range of family friendly benefits.

Joining Bupa in this role you will receive the following benefits and more:
