Senior Strategy & Decision Analyst

USA Rare Earth and the Serra Verde Group are building the world's leading rare earth enterprise: a pioneering global advanced materials company that excels at every stage of the value chain, from the earth to the magnet and beyond, deploying that expertise with courage, integrity and an uncompromising commitment to responsible practice. We will be the partner of choice for nations, industries and communities that depend on a secure, sustainable supply of the rare earths and other critical materials and derivative technologies that power the modern world. The Critical Elements of Progress - Delivered Responsibly - At Global Scale. The world is being remade. New energy systems are augmenting old ones. New technologies are redefining what is possible in every aspect of our lives. And at the heart of this transformation are the rare earths and other critical elements we produce. We exist to supply these materials. Responsibly. Reliably. At Scale. Across the World. We command the full value chain — and we configure it with precision to reliably serve the needs of growing global and local markets alike. Our people bring world-class technology and deep operational know-how to every step of that chain, ensuring the materials we deliver are produced at scale to the highest standards of quality, efficiency and environmental responsibility. We take that responsibility seriously. We build supply chains that are secure, transparent, diversified and resilient. We create lasting value for our shareholders, our employees, our communities and the societies in whose success we share. Our organizational model is based on the principle of clear accountability and the creation of entrepreneurial enclaves which define business units reflecting the natural components of our supply chain. Each Business Unit retains a profit motive and the responsibly to deliver shareholder returns. However, this cannot occur at the expense of overall Group value. THE ROLE The Senior Strategy & Decision Analyst exists to ensure the Group's most consequential decisions are made with demonstrable Decision Quality (DQ) - that by the time the Board, CEO, or a business unit commits, the decision meets the standard of the six DQ elements: an appropriate frame, creative and doable alternatives, meaningful and reliable information, clear values and trade-offs, sound reasoning, and commitment to action. Given the close interdependence between strategy and decision quality, this role also carries primary responsibility for elaborating the Group's and Business Unit’s cascading strategies, working directly and continuously with the respective leaders - so that strategy and the decisions that implement it are developed together rather than handed off at the end. The role acts as the organization's honest broker: neutral on which alternative wins, uncompromising on the quality of the process that selects it, and on embedding risk-based, optionality-oriented thinking into decisions and their execution design from the outset. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Strategy elaboration Hold regular meetings and workshops with leaders across the organization to elaborate and implement their cascading strategies, help identify their key growth initiatives and strategic issues, and collect bottom-up input for Group strategy iteration. Assist the Board and CEO with Group strategy definition and contribute to the negotiation of key agreements. Help operations translate key growth initiatives and strategic issues into budget inputs, in collaboration with Finance. Shape strategy continuously based on what is happening on the ground and in interactions with stakeholders, and vice versa - ensuring strategy work and decision support reinforce each other rather than operating as separate tracks. Decision framing and structuring Work with the executive team to frame the organization's most consequential decisions: define the decision hierarchy (policy, strategic, tactical), clarify what is being decid…
