Experience should include: Demonstrated experience translating strategy into clear plans, narratives, and outputs that drive alignment Experience working within or alongside a complex client organization or marketing transformation initiative Strong background in brand repositioning, campaign planning, or multi-brand portfolio management Bonus points if: • Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience • Experience supporting or leading marketing transformation and delivery model change • Familiarity with Consumer/CPG or automotive/energy categories • Strong executive communication skills — able to build and deliver leadership-ready narratives and recommendations • Proven ability to collaborate across strategy, creative, media, PM, and analytics functions without formal authority • Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with a bias toward clarity and forward momentum • Experience using performance data and research to inform strategic refinement and in-market optimization Compensation at Accenture varies depending on a wide array of factors, which may include but are not limited to the specific office location, role, skill set, and level of experience.
