In my opinion: Strategy manager positions are highly competitive. A referral is the minimum you can do but I wouldn’t hold your breath for it.

So should I be asking a 2nd person to refer?

A second sure but it’s also part luck. I’d also apply to 20-30 other strategy positions too and make sure to find/guess the recruiters contact info to make a personal connection.
