You are:
As a Consumer Manager (Account Director) within Accenture Song, you are a strategic connector and narrative driver embedded in client’s consumer segments, supporting multiple brands. You bring structure and clarity to strategy, brand repositioning, and integrated planning — translating ambiguous direction into actionable plans and compelling outputs that earn leadership alignment and client buy-in.

You're someone who thrives at the intersection of big-picture strategy and practical execution. You can synthesize research, data, and business insights into clear strategic direction, and you know how to carry that strategy through into in-market delivery — maintaining oversight and course-correcting when strategy and execution drift apart. You're a strong storyteller who can simplify complexity, influence without authority, and keep cross-functional teams moving in the same direction during a period of meaningful transformation.

The work:
•    Contribute to consumer segment strategy and portfolio brand repositioning across multiple brands - including messaging, creative direction, and positioning outputs
•    Translate evolving strategic direction into clear, structured plans that teams can understand and act on
•    Support mobilization and transition to Accenture's new marketing delivery model, identifying friction points and improving ways of working
•    Lead integrated planning across brand, media, creative, sales, and analytics — ensuring plans are actionable and connected to strategy
•    Maintain execution alignment and oversight by partnering with PMs and delivery teams to track strategic intent in-market and close gaps
•    Build performance narratives and leadership materials that support decision-making, KPI tracking, and continuous optimization
•    Enable feedback loops from execution back into strategy, using data and performance insights to refine direction and drive results

Here's what you'll need:

• Minimum 7 years of experience in marketing strategy, brand strategy, or integrated planning. 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
