Position Summary

Trulioo is seeking a Senior Director of Corporate Strategy & Development to help shape the company’s strategic direction and translate it into coordinated action across the business. Working closely with the Chief Risk & Strategy Officer, this leader will own the continued evolution of Trulioo’s strategic blueprint, strengthen alignment between corporate strategy and functional priorities, and guide execution of the company’s most important strategic initiatives.

This role will build the intelligence, governance, and execution capabilities that allow Trulioo to anticipate market change and make informed choices about where and how to compete.

This is a highly visible enterprise leadership role at the intersection of strategy, product, transformation, capital allocation, and corporate development. The ideal candidate combines forward-looking strategic judgment with the ability to operationalize ideas—building roadmaps, mobilizing accountable leaders, guiding complex programs, and creating the governance needed to turn strategy into measurable results.

This role is expected to leverage AI and emerging technologies to improve productivity, enhance decision-making, and continuously optimize how work is performed.
