We are seeking a strategic, analytically rigorous Senior Benchmarking and Strategy Program Manager to join the AMXL Global Benchmarking team.

You will serve as a thought leader within the program, shaping the portfolio roadmap, mentoring peers, and driving cross-functional alignment to ensure benchmarking insights result in measurable business outcomes. This is an ideal role for someone who combines deep analytical capability with strategic thinking, stakeholder influence, and a passion for competitive intelligence.
