Demonstrated track record of planning and executing sustainable BD strategy across diverse market sectors and geographies
Experience managing strategic marketing and client relationship programs, including standing up new processes from scratch
Strong data analytics skills — comfortable translating market trends, economic signals, and competitive intelligence into targeted campaign strategy
Exceptional communication skills: you can present to executives, coach interview teams, and build consensus across a matrixed global organization
Experience collaborating across Market Sector Directors, Regional Business Group Directors, Managing Principals, and Area Managers
Bachelor's degree in communications, marketing, engineering, architecture, business, or a related field
Global BD or pursuit experience is a plus
