Strategic Planner

A Strategic Planner develops and implements plans to help organisations achieve long-term goals. You might work in corporate offices, government agencies, or consultancy firms. Strategic Planners focus on analysing market trends, identifying opportunities for growth, and creating actionable plans. You’ll prepare detailed reports, set objectives, and guide the organisation in decision-making processes.

Strategic Planners play a vital role in shaping the future direction of an organisation. You’ll need to be analytical and forward-thinking, with strong communication skills to present your strategies clearly. You’ll collaborate with various departments and stakeholders to ensure that the organisation’s goals are met effectively and efficiently.
