What you will do:

The individual in this role will lead NEP's commercial planning and growth capability by supporting executive strategic priorities through business planning, market sizing, opportunity assessment, and growth planning.

Why This Role Matters

This role does not own enterprise strategy. It helps convert executive priorities into actionable commercial plans, business cases, and growth opportunities that the business can execute.

Organizational Context

This role sits within Global Commercial Operations and partners closely with Corporate Strategy, Commercial Leadership, Finance, Marketing, Product & Solutions, and regional teams. The role helps translate executive priorities into practical commercial plans, business cases, and growth actions.

Transformation Environment

This is a build-and-transform role. The successful candidate will help establish new capabilities, operating rhythms, and planning disciplines that do not exist today. Success depends on strong collaboration, practical problem solving, and the ability to influence across a matrixed organization.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead commercial planning and business planning support for priority initiatives and growth themes.
• Develop market sizing, TAM/SAM, and opportunity assessments for key markets, segments, and services.
• Build business cases and investment recommendations to support executive decision making.
• Support growth initiatives including strategic account expansion, and other executive-sponsored priorities.
• Partner with Commercial Leadership and Corporate Strategy to turn strategic priorities into clear commercial actions.
• Support MVC growth planning through whitespace analysis, opportunity prioritization, and structured account planning.
• Develop and maintain foundational market and competitive intelligence that supports growth decisions.
• Help codify NEP's value proposition and commercial messaging across offerings and markets.
• Create repeatable planning tools, templates, and governance processes that improve consistency and execution.

What You Will Build

• A practical commercial planning process that supports annual planning and priority setting.
• A repeatable market sizing and opportunity assessment capability.
• A standard approach to business case development for growth initiatives.
• A clear method for prioritizing growth opportunities across accounts, segments, and services.
• A stronger foundation for market and competitive intelligence.
• A more consistent value proposition framework to support growth conversations.

Leadership Expectations

• Act as a trusted thought partner to executive and commercial leaders.
• Translate ambiguity into practical next steps.
• Influence decisions without direct authority.
• Drive alignment across functions, regions, and stakeholder groups.
• Balance strategic thinking with pragmatic execution.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in commercial planning, business planning, strategy, consulting, commercial operations, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience building business cases, growth plans, or opportunity assessments.
• Strong analytical and financial modeling skills.
• Experience supporting executive leadership and cross-functional initiatives.
