It varies quite a bit based on the company. A strategy team isn't really a required function, so it's not uncommon for it to be built and championed under the leadership of a particular member of the c-suite (usually CFO, reporting directly to CEO, or a Chief Strategy Officer which itself usually reports to CEO vs being as independent as other C suite titles). This means that the team can certainly be in jeopardy if the champion exec leaves at certain companies, so I wouldn't for example consider a newly formed strategy team at a failing company secure

Other times it can be pretty secure e.g. I'd say BizOps is pretty safe at Google

Other than safety it's worth considering long term development -- at many companies it isn't uncommon for there to be an unclear advancement path past the midlevels for the strategy teams

Often that's the case for traditional top-down strategy type functions, but there are also strategy functions with different or often limited scopes

Strategy and Operations type titles are wildly variable in terms of what they do - e.g. even at Google we have lots of similar sounding teams that do very different things

I am Sales Strategy at SF and may receive an offer for PG in the Sales Strategy function at MSFT. My hiring manager told me he was hiring at least 3 PG's in Sales Strategy at MSFT to assist in quota assignments, territory strategy, etc. In my opinion these types of roles are not risky as they are essentially in helping the company save money and best utilize key resources. My gut says companies are purging recruiters, talent acq, etc and focusing resources on sales, sales strategy, etc.
