Career Level: 10 - Senior Analyst
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Role Overview
We are expanding our Accenture Song Marketing CRM practice in Ireland and are seeking a CRM Marketing Analyst to support the analysis, design, and delivery of customer-focused CRM programmes and AI-enabled solutions. Working within multidisciplinary client teams, you will help organisations understand their current customer journeys, processes, data, and marketing technology landscape, and identify how CRM, automation, and AI can enable more relevant, efficient, and connected customer engagement.
This role sits at the intersection of CRM strategy, customer experience, data, marketing technology, and AI-enabled solutions.

You will work closely with client stakeholders and Accenture Song strategy, content, media, data, technology, and delivery teams. You will bring a structured and curious approach to understanding complex problems, documenting evidence, facilitating workshops, and helping teams move from current-state insight to a clearly defined future-state solution.

- Document findings clearly and communicate them to marketing, technology, data, and operational stakeholders through concise presentations, process maps, requirements, and recommendations.
CRM Analysis & Solution Design
- Translate business objectives and customer needs into documented CRM capabilities, business requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and prioritised recommendations.
- Support audits of CRM and marketing technology platforms, assessing current capabilities, integrations, data flows, adoption, and process alignment against business and customer needs.
- Map customer journeys and lifecycle communications, using qualitative and quantitative insight to identify moments that matter, experience gaps, and opportunities for personalisation, orchestration, automation, and responsible use of AI.
- Develop as-is and to-be service blueprints that connect customer interactions with people, processes, data, technology, and operational dependencies, and support the definition of an achievable transition roadmap.
Collaboration & Practice Contribution
- Work as part of multidisciplinary teams across CRM strategy, content, media, creative, data, technology, and delivery, ensuring that analysis and requirements remain connected to customer and business outcomes.
- Partner with project managers, product owners, architects, designers, and developers to clarify requirements, resolve questions, manage dependencies, and maintain alignment throughout delivery.
- Contribute to the growth of the Marketing CRM practice by supporting pitch teams with research, market and client insight, case studies, capability materials, and clearly structured solution content.
We’re looking for a structured, curious, and collaborative analyst who enjoys learning and turning complex information into clear findings and practical recommendations.
