CertainTeed Roofing is focused on accelerating growth, strengthening our market position, and building a more resilient business for the future. We need a strategic leader who can help turn that ambition into action.

As Director, Strategy & Business Development, you will play a critical role in shaping the long-term direction of our Roofing Products Group. You'll lead strategic planning and business development efforts, identify new opportunities for growth, guide portfolio and investment decisions, and help translate business priorities into actionable financial and operational plans.

You'll work across Product Management, Sales, Marketing, R&D, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Finance, and other key functions to bring together market insights, customer needs, financial analysis, and business priorities. From evaluating new products, adjacent markets, partnerships, and potential acquisitions to helping leadership make complex investment and resource decisions, you'll provide the insight and structure needed to move our strategy forward.

You'll also lead the Roofing Products Group Project Management Office, establishing the governance and execution discipline needed to prioritize our most important initiatives, manage risks and resources, and ensure strategic projects deliver meaningful business results.

Beyond formal planning and project leadership, you'll serve as a trusted strategic advisor to senior Roofing leadership-helping navigate complex business challenges, lead high-priority initiatives, and connect long-term strategy with near-term execution. You'll also provide strategic direction for policy and advocacy priorities to ensure external industry and regulatory developments are considered as part of our broader business strategy.

You may be a great fit for this role if you are a strategic thinker who also enjoys making things happen. You're comfortable looking several years ahead while staying connected to what the business needs to accomplish today.

You know how to take complex market, customer, financial, and competitive information and turn it into clear recommendations. You're comfortable building business cases, evaluating investments and growth opportunities, challenging assumptions, and helping senior leaders make decisions when there isn't an obvious answer.

You thrive in a highly matrixed organization and know how to lead through influence. You can bring together stakeholders with different priorities, create alignment around a path forward, and keep important initiatives moving even when circumstances change or information is incomplete. The role requires someone who can navigate ambiguity, balance competing priorities, and simultaneously oversee multiple strategic initiatives.

You'll bring a bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Marketing, Economics, Engineering, Strategy, or a related field, along with 7+ years of progressive experience in areas such as strategy, business development, M&A, corporate planning, product management, consulting, finance, marketing, or another related business leadership function. An MBA or other advanced degree is preferred.

You'll be especially successful if you bring strength in strategic planning, business development, financial modeling and investment analysis, portfolio strategy, project/program management, executive communication, change leadership, data-driven problem solving, and cross-functional stakeholder management. Familiarity with government affairs or policy considerations is also valuable, and a PMP or equivalent project/program management credential is preferred.

Most importantly, you're someone who can move comfortably between strategy and execution-seeing the big picture, identifying where we should go next, and helping the organization turn those ideas into measurable results.
