Work with industry and marketing leaders to set strategic direction and goals and lead the development of thought leadership.

Define and shape integrated, global, high-impact marketing campaigns that that are locally relevant - and can be customized to be more so. These campaigns should raise awareness of Accenture, achieve a dominant share of voice, position and differentiate the practice in a compelling way, provide clients with the thought leadership they value in formats and via channels which they prefer, build strong relationships with these clients, and help the business create and secure sales opportunities.

Plan and execute a thought leadership program that helps meet your marketing goals. Develop and publish compelling, differentiated content, in all relevant formats, that meets a high professional standard, is consistent with and draws on Accenture's central content, and drives your marketing effort lower down the sales funnel.

Work with Insurance business leads and subject-matter experts, and the Insurance media specialist, to ensure a steady flow of positive media coverage in tier-one and industry publications. Help evaluate, coach, position and pitch your leads as iconic spokespeople with national and local media.

Follow and understand the insurance industry by reading about it, speaking to Accenture Insurance leads and subject-matter experts, and conducting and analyzing market, competitor and other research.

Collaborate across the Accenture ecosystem (teams from other Accenture services and geographies) to always bring the best of Accenture to our clients in a consistent, integrated way.

Structure and manage all marketing campaigns in such a way as to ensure they are measurable. Take advantage of the insights gained from these and earlier campaigns to optimize our client experiences, and maximize impact by continuously testing and learning.

Work with the Delivery Excellence Campaign Management team to provide briefs, strategies, and budgets for go-to-market execution. Identify the KPIs by which campaigns will be measured and set impact goals for each campaign. Provide consistent, comparable, timely reports.

Equip, enable and encourage internal stakeholders to deeply understand and clearly and consistently articulate Accenture's value proposition for Insurance clients. Plan and implement an ongoing internal communications campaign that keeps them informed about all available content and where it can be accessed, as well as any other relevant information (e.g. webinars, appointments, etc.), and encourages them to use it effectively.
