Head of Distribution Strategy

Position Summary The Head of Distribution Strategy partners with the Head of Distribution to convert the enterprise distribution strategy into an actionable growth plan. While the Head of Distribution sets the strategic direction, this role determines how and where the organization will compete, evaluates expansion opportunities, develops data-supported business cases, and coordinates execution across business lines and enabling functions. The role serves as a strategic connector across Distribution, Product, Technology, CRM, Marketing, Operations, Finance, Risk, and Compliance to align investments, capabilities, governance, and implementation priorities that support sustainable and profitable growth. Role Scope and Distinction Own the translation of the Head of Distribution’s strategic direction into an integrated enterprise plan, business cases, sequenced priorities, and execution roadmaps. Focus on enterprise strategy, market choices, cross-business alignment, and investment decisions rather than the day-to-day creation of seller-facing dashboards, targeting tools, and CRM insights led by Sales Enablement. Partner with Risk and Compliance to understand regulatory and suitability boundaries; this role does not replace the independent oversight, interpretation, or approval responsibilities of those functions.
