The organization is an open system connected to the external business environment through the inflows of economic resources, on the one hand, and the outflows of goods or services, on the other. The success of the organization depends on the degree to which it manages to anticipate change and integrate into the dynamics of the environment. We are therefore witnessing changes in the management process, in the complexity of managerial functions, in management methods and practices. Under these conditions, the management's vision of the organization becomes imperative. The new manager will have the global vision on the organization. Its purpose is not only to predict the evolution of the organization, but also to create the future in the present time, to shape it according to the strategic vision. It is time to break away from the guild of managers and to be placed distinctly within the management system, the visionary, the one who operates with the management of the future - the strategy manager. The purpose of this study is to highlight the need to delimit within the management structure of the role of strategy manager, as an individual position, with objectives, responsibilities, tasks, specific skills.
