ROLE PURPOSE

Help lead ANZ industry marketing, build APAC CMT authority, mobilise teams around shared opportunities and stay close enough to execution to make the work land.

The Role

The Industry Marketing Lead – ANZ is a dual-role position within Accenture’s APAC Industry Marketing team. You’ll help drive industry marketing across Australia and New Zealand while also serving as the team’s APAC specialist for the Communications, Media & Technology (CMT) sector, spanning communications, media, telecommunications, software & platforms, and high tech. In your ANZ market role, you’ll help bring Accenture’s industry expertise to life in ways that are relevant to local clients and business priorities. Working closely with Industry & Enterprise leaders, fellow Industry Marketing leads and specialist marketing teams, you’ll identify priority opportunities, shape compelling industry narratives, and activate campaigns, thought leadership and content in market. Collaboration is central to the role, with ANZ priorities shaped and delivered through a connected approach across industries, teams and marketing capabilities. In your APAC CMT industry specialist role, you’ll build deep knowledge of the sector and become a trusted advisor to colleagues across the region. You’ll stay close to industry trends, client priorities and market developments, connect with Accenture’s industry marketing networks globally and across APAC, North America and EMEA, and help translate the best of Accenture’s thinking and expertise into relevant opportunities across APAC markets. This is a senior player‑coach role for someone comfortable moving between strategy and execution. You’ll set direction, influence senior stakeholders, mobilise cross‑functional teams and draw on specialist marketing capabilities to deliver against shared priorities. You’ll be expected to take ownership of outcomes and help turn strategy into action. You’ll join a closely connected APAC Industry Marketing team that shares expertise, works collaboratively across markets and industries, and partners with specialist marketing teams to build a stronger and more distinctive industry presence across the region.
