Corporate Strategy Manager (Consulting & Strategy)

What You'll Do

• Own high-priority strategic initiatives from initial question through recommendation and execution.
• Tackle ambiguous company-level problems, develop hypotheses, and create the analytical frameworks needed to answer them.
• Evaluate growth opportunities across AI, product, GTM, pricing, market expansion, and strategic investments.
• Build business cases, financial models, market assessments, and scenario analyses that inform investment and resource allocation decisions.
• Partner directly with senior leaders across Product, Sales, Finance, and Operations to shape decisions and drive alignment.
• Translate strategy into actionable plans and stay close to execution to understand what is working and where we need to adjust.
• Develop executive and Board-level narratives that distill complex analysis into clear choices and recommendations.
• Bring an outside-in perspective on the SaaS and AI landscape and help identify the strategic questions Freshworks should be asking next.

What We're Looking For

• 4-6+ years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, or a combination of consulting and in-house strategy experience; experience from a top-tier management consulting firm, particularly MBB (Mckinsey, Bain, BCG) is preferred
• Experience solving growth, product, GTM, pricing, market entry, or investment strategy problems
• Exposure to SaaS, enterprise software, or technology businesses strongly preferred
• Strong analytical and financial modeling skills with the ability to turn data into business insights and recommendations
• Executive-level communication skills and the ability to influence without authority
• Comfortable moving between high-level strategy and hands-on analysis
• Curious, low ego, and energized by ambiguity
• Most importantly, you want to own the outcome, not just deliver the recommendation

Why This Role

Freshworks is at an exciting point in its evolution. We're scaling a global SaaS business, expanding our enterprise presence, and navigating how AI changes the products we build, how we monetize them, and how our customers work.

For someone coming from consulting, this is an opportunity to keep the parts of the job you love—complex problems, executive exposure, analytical rigor, and variety—while gaining something that's harder to get as an advisor: ownership.

You'll see the decisions get made. You'll work alongside the teams responsible for executing them. And you'll have the opportunity to see whether the strategy actually worked.

This is a highly visible individual contributor role with exposure to senior executives and the Board, and an opportunity to build a deep understanding of how a global SaaS company operates.

At Freshworks, we have fostered an environment that enables everyone to find their true potential, purpose, and passion, welcoming colleagues of all backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnicities. We are committed to providing equal opportunity and believe that diversity in the workplace creates a more vibrant, richer environment that boosts the goals of our employees, communities, and business. Fresh vision. Real impact. Come build it with us.
