Are you an experienced business development/marketing professional who is skilled in analytical thinking, influencing others to drive results, and managing multiple projects simultaneously? If so, Deloitte's Audit & Assurance (A&A) Growth Team is looking for someone like you. Predictable, sustainable revenue growth requires a full pipeline of targets, and our resourceful team leverages their diverse backgrounds to keep an eye on the market, helping Deloitte’s A&A practice to identify and nurture potential future clients.
Work you’ll do
As an A&A Growth Manager, you will work closely with local audit partners and practitioners to help them meet practice-wide and individual growth metrics.

Additional responsibilities will include:
- Deliver and apply analysis of marketplace insights and competitive trends to targeting teams to drive growth strategy
- For priority accounts (a subset of your portfolio of targets), support account teams by leading meetings, providing research, developing action plans and driving accountability, keeping up with relevant market/industry/company intel, etc.
- Help identify potential opportunities to team with other Deloitte functions (e.g., Tax).
- Be a trusted advisor for the leaders in your market(s) by bringing insights, leading practices, and creative thinking to support them in their business development efforts.
- Help develop and execute internal communications strategy in support of the market’s A&A growth program as needed.
- Serve as subject-matter expert for the local A&A practice on marketplace and industry developments, competitive intelligence, relevant marketing and alumni activities, etc.
- Leverage our Salesforce-based CRM system to track progress of growth efforts, provide real-time analytics to leaders, and report on results.
- Display positive attitude while exhibiting commitment to firm protocols and priorities.
- Lead and contribute to special projects as needed.
