This position is no longer accepting applications(closed Aug 4, 2026).

Reports to the Hertz Chief of Staff and sits within the Office of the CEO.

Hertz is transforming from a traditional rental car company into a modern mobility platform powered by data, technology, and operational excellence. Our strategy focuses on optimizing fleet economics, accelerating the digital customer experience, expanding off-airport and mobility partnerships, and unlocking new value from our global fleet platform.

To drive this transformation, we are building a Strategy & Execution Office within the Office of the CEO; a small, high-impact team responsible for setting enterprise priorities and ensuring they are executed with speed, rigor, and measurable results.

Enterprise Strategy & Execution Leads are the operators who make this transformation real. They sit at the center of the company’s most important decisions and initiatives, owning the end-to-end orchestration of enterprise-critical work that directly impacts Hetz’s strategy and financial performance.

This is a high-visibility role partnering directly with senior executives across the company.

This role is not traditional corporate strategy or a traditional PMO. It’s both; deciding what matters most and making sure it gets done.

Connect Strategy to Measurable Impact

  • Translate enterprise priorities into actionable plans

Build Future Leaders

  • Develop future operators through exposure to strategy, execution, and financial accountability

What Success Looks Like

  • Enterprise initiatives move faster, deliver measurable value, and produce fewer surprises

  • Cross-functional teams remain aligned and focused

  • Risks and interdependencies are surfaced early

  • Leadership trusts the data, governance, and decision framing

What We’re Looking For

  • 7–12 years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, or program leadership

  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end

  • Strong analytical and financial modeling skills

  • Experience influencing senior stakeholders and driving alignment

  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and high-visibility environments

  • Comfort leveraging AI, automation, and advanced analytics to improve speed and impact

  • Excellent structured thinking and problem-solving skills

  • Bias toward action and measurable outcomes

Preferred

  • Former tier-one consulting engagement manager, or equivalent

  • Experience driving operational improvement, cost transformation, or digital modernization

  • Exposure to capital allocation or performance improvement programs

  • Track record of quantifiable financial impact (EBITDA, cost savings, revenue lift)

  • Experience managing delivery in matrixed or asset-heavy environments

  • Background in mobility, travel, logistics, marketplaces, or technology-enabled services

Mindset

  • Intellectually rigorous and curious – you seek root causes and systems-level clarity

  • Ownership mentality – you stay with problems through value realization

  • Bias toward action with urgency

  • Calm and resilient under pressure and cross-functional friction

  • Structured yet adaptable in ambiguity

  • Financially accountable – you think in measurable business impact
