Pursuit Man ager-Audit

Are you passionate about strategic thinking, client needs, win strategies, persuasive and compelling messaging, sales principles, storytelling, and meeting and presentation coaching? Are you a self-starter, but also enjoy working with dynamic teams? Do you have a background in business development, communications, marketing, advertising, journalism, or higher education? If so, we're looking for talent like you to join our team!

While experience managing strategic pursuits is ideal, it is not necessary. Neither is a background in finance or audit. We offer robust onboarding and training that will prepare you to be successful in our organization by focusing on how to leverage the skills and strengths you bring.

• Manage the pursuit process for Deloitte's external audit opportunities, from coordinating our pursuit teams' activities to orchestrating the development of deliverables.
• Develop strategies for new business pursuits and retention opportunities, applying targeting and sales principles to uncover target client needs, identify win themes, create compelling messages, brainstorm solutions to challenges, and identify benefits for target clients.
• Transform strategic thinking into persuasive deliverables that differentiate Deloitte, such as proposals and oral presentations.
• Coach pursuit teams for presentations and meetings and lead the creation of collateral.
• Write persuasively and create strategic messaging, including executive summaries and other critical components of deliverables, interpreting information from research profiles, meetings with pursuit team members, client meetings, and understanding of the business and Deloitte's offerings.
• Conduct or oversee research and analysis for pursuits using external sites and internal resources.
• Contribute to developing Deloitte's pursuit team, including collaborating with other pursuit team members, continuously refining and improving pursuit strategies, and acting as a project-by-project liaison between our team and the broader organization.
