What will your day look like?

You will primarily engage with client leadership teams, often leading workstreams and engagements independently within the CX and CRM domain. Your assignments will focus on shaping strategic direction, including:

• Leading strategic work sessions with senior client stakeholders, facilitating critical decision‑making processes around customer journey design, CRM capabilities, and CX innovation.
• Driving the development of robust business cases, strategic recommendations, and actionable roadmaps for CX enhancement and CRM platform optimization/implementation, ensuring alignment with client objectives and market realities.
• Orchestrating comprehensive customer research, journey mapping, and experience design activities, translating insights into tangible strategies for personalization, loyalty, and improved customer engagement.
• Conducting current state assessments of client CRM capabilities and MarTech stacks, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement to drive customer lifetime value.
• Defining future‑state CRM vision and requirements, contributing to technology selection (e.g., Salesforce, Adobe, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP CX) and implementation strategy.
• Owning the delivery of strategic frameworks and solutions, from initial concept to implementation planning, ensuring impact and value creation across the customer lifecycle.
• Cultivating and managing deep relationships with client executives, acting as a trusted advisor and thought partner on all matters related to customer strategy, experience, and CRM.
• Proactively identifying and developing new business opportunities within the CX/CRM space, contributing significantly to the firm’s growth and thought leadership.
• Providing guidance and mentorship to project team members, fostering a high‑performance culture and ensuring the quality of deliverables without direct line management responsibilities.
• Shaping and evolving proprietary CX/CRM offerings and methodologies, contributing directly to the firm’s intellectual capital and competitive edge.

Who are you going to work with?

You will join a team of highly skilled consultants and become part of a dynamic and international environment where you will have ample opportunity to further develop your personal and professional leadership skills. Your role will involve significant collaboration with cross‑functional experts and professionals from our technology, data science, creative, and client teams across our global offices.

What do you bring to the table?

You possess a self‑starter and can‑do mentality, thriving in complex environments while maintaining a structured approach and meticulous attention to strategic detail. You demonstrate a superior ability to collect, analyze, and synthesize diverse qualitative and quantitative data, establishing profound insights and crafting compelling, executive‑ready narratives. With advanced reasoning skills, you can interpret extensive and ambiguous information, navigating multiple abstract and concrete variables to form robust strategies. You excel at building and managing high‑level stakeholder relationships, and in addition, you have:

• A relevant master’s degree; preferably within Business, Economics, Marketing, or a related quantitative field.
• 5+ years of progressive strategy or management consulting experience from a top‑tier consulting firm or Big 4 environment, with a significant focus on Customer Experience (CX) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) initiatives.
• Proven expertise in developing and implementing CX strategies (e.g., customer journey mapping, segmentation, personalization, loyalty programs) and CRM strategies (e.g., platform selection, roadmap definition, capability assessment, MarTech integration).
• Deep understanding of leading CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Adobe Experience Cloud, and Braze) and their strategic application.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects and workstreams independently, taking full ownership of deliverables and client outcomes in CX/CRM transformation.
• Exceptional executive‑level writing, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills, with a proven ability to influence senior stakeholders on customer‑centric topics.
• High proficiency in advanced analytical tools, Excel, and PowerPoint for executive communication, particularly for presenting CX insights and CRM value propositions.
• Superior analytical and complex problem‑solving abilities, capable of dissecting customer and technology challenges and formulating innovative solutions.
• A willingness to travel internationally as required to meet client and project demands.
