At Raytheon, our mission is rooted in our foundational values and a higher calling – supporting our nation and allies in defending freedoms and deterring aggression. The Strategy organization provides enterprise-wide strategic insight, shaping Raytheon’s long-term direction through rigorous internal and external environmental analysis. We assess market, technology, geopolitical, and competitive forces across the full Raytheon portfolio to drive Raytheon-level strategic choices.

We are seeking a Director of Strategy to lead strategy development efforts that span the entire Raytheon business, drive clarity on long-range priorities, and influence executive-level decision-making.

• Engagement with senior leadership across Raytheon and RTX, learning how strategy informs major business, product, and investment decisions.

This onsite role is based in one of the following locations (no relocation assistance provided): Woburn, MA; Arlington, VA; Farmington, CT; McKinney, TX; or Tucson, AZ.

• Develop Raytheon-level strategic insights by synthesizing market trends, technology signals, emerging threats, policy developments, and internal capabilities.
• Build and maintain an integrated strategic picture of Raytheon’s opportunities, risks, and long-term choices, advising senior executives on business implications.
• Design and execute enterprise strategy governance processes, enabling consistent planning, assessment, and strategic decision-making.
• Communicate complex strategic issues clearly and compellingly through executive presentations, strategy narratives, and facilitated discussions.
