The Director for the Capital Strategy and Management will serve as the dedicated program owner and integrator for a transformational $550M capital project designed to advance UT Dallas’s research, innovation, and student learning enterprise.
Reporting to the Convergence Accelerator Project Advocate (the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost), and working closely with the Chief of Operations, Chief Financial Officer, VP for Research and Innovation, and the Office of the President, this role will orchestrate complex workstreams across academic, administrative, and external stakeholder groups to advance the building from conceptualization through completion by 2030.
This is a strategic operations and execution role—not a traditional facilities/construction management position. The ideal candidate brings senior-level experience in large-scale higher education projects, demonstrated capacity to convene diverse stakeholders (especially faculty and deans), and the ability to manage ambiguity across parallel initiatives while maintaining momentum toward critical milestones.

- Strategic thinking: Ability to see connections across workstreams and align short-term activities with long-term project vision
- Stakeholder management: Skill in building relationships, managing competing interests, and fostering collaboration among diverse groups
- Problem-solving: Resourcefulness in identifying solutions to obstacles; comfort with ambiguity and change
- Attention to detail: Ability to manage multiple timelines, budgets, and deliverables without losing sight of deadlines or requirements
- Communication: Capacity to distill complex information for different audiences and communicate progress, risks, and decisions clearly
- Intellectual curiosity: Genuine interest in understanding academic disciplines, research priorities, and industry trends relevant to the building
- Emotional intelligence: Ability to navigate sensitive conversations (e.g., difficult funding decisions, center prioritization) with diplomacy and empathy
- Technical proficiency: Competence with project management tools (MS Project, Asana, Monday.com, or similar), Microsoft Office, and data visualization software
- Resilience: Ability to maintain momentum and morale through a multi-year project with inevitable setbacks and delays
Bachelors degree
10 years of related professional experience
Preferred Education and Experience
10 years of related professional experience
- Master’s degree in business administration, higher education, public administration, project management, or a closely related field

- Experience in a research-intensive university or system environment
- Prior involvement with UT System institutions or knowledge of UT System governance and processes
- Background in fundraising, development, or donor relations
- Experience with innovation/entrepreneurship initiatives, interdisciplinary centers, or industry partnerships in higher education
- Familiarity with Texas higher education policy and the state appropriations process
- Project management certification (PMP, CAPM) or formal training in project management methodologies
- Experience establishing PMO discipline or project management frameworks in organizations
To the extent this position requires the holder to research, work on, or have access to critical infrastructure as defined in Section 117.001(2) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, the ability to maintain the security or integrity of the critical infrastructure is a minimum qualification to be hired and to continue to be employed in the position.

- Track Facilities-related milestones against the overall project roadmap.
- Identify disconnects between project scope, design assumptions, cost, funding, and program needs.
- Support preparation for CIP, Board, and UT System milestones as needed.

Tips for Your Strategy Director Job Search
Quantify strategic impact on your resume
Strategy directors are judged on business outcomes, not process ownership. Replace task descriptions with measurable results: revenue influenced, cost savings realized, markets entered, or growth rates achieved under your direction. Reviewers scan for numbers that signal scale.
Tailor your thesis to each company
Most strategy director roles expect a point of view before the first interview. Read the company's latest earnings call, annual report, or press releases and surface one strategic tension they haven't resolved. Weave that into your cover letter so it reads like analysis, not flattery.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists strategy director openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight cross-functional ownership explicitly
Strategy director candidates who stall at the resume screen often buried their cross-functional work under a single bullet. Call out the functions you partnered with, the size of the decisions you influenced, and whether those decisions were implemented, not just recommended.
Prepare a structured case for every interview stage
Panels for strategy director roles routinely include a live business case or a take-home deck. Practice structuring answers around problem definition, constraint mapping, and option framing. Interviewers want to see how you think, not just what you concluded.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate compensation
Strategy directors often lose leverage by anchoring on salary before clarifying reporting lines, budget authority, and whether the role drives decisions or only informs them. Settle scope first, then negotiate compensation against the actual seniority of the position you've confirmed.
Strategy Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most strategy directors?
The companies hiring the most strategy directors right now include CVS Health, AbbVie, and JPMorganChase, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Demand tends to cluster in companies undergoing growth transitions, mergers, or market expansion.
How many strategy director jobs are remote?
About 78% of strategy director openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, though availability shifts frequently as companies update their policies. Roles focused on corporate strategy, competitive intelligence, and go-to-market planning tend to offer the most location flexibility, while those tied to business unit leadership or operational strategy more often require on-site presence.
How do you become a strategy director?
Most strategy directors follow a path that moves through strategy consulting, corporate development, or a business unit planning role before stepping into a director title. Building a portfolio of initiatives you owned end-to-end, not just supported, is the clearest differentiator. An MBA accelerates the transition for candidates coming from analytical or functional backgrounds, and demonstrating executive-level communication skills is essential before a promotion or external hire becomes realistic.
Can you get hired as a strategy director without direct strategy experience?
Yes, candidates from adjacent fields do land strategy director roles, but the bar is higher and the framing matters. Finance leaders who have run M&A processes, product leaders who have owned market-entry decisions, and operations executives who have led transformation programs all have credible paths. You'll need to reframe your resume around strategic decisions you influenced and outcomes you drove, rather than functional outputs.
What does the strategy director interview process look like?
The process typically runs three to five rounds and combines a recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on your background and strategic thinking, one or more panel interviews with cross-functional partners or senior leaders, and a case or presentation exercise. The exercise is usually a take-home deck or a live whiteboard session where you're asked to analyze a business problem the company actually faces, then present your recommendation and field questions.
Where can I find and apply to strategy director jobs?
You can find and apply to strategy director jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your background and apply directly to each listing. No additional steps are required between finding a role and submitting your application.
