Regional Director, Senior Pursuits and Marketing (Finance)
As a Regional Director, Strategic Pursuits and Marketing, you play a pivotal role in driving strategic growth and success within your designated region. Your responsibilities span a wide spectrum of work acquisition strategy and support activities, all aimed at enhancing the firm's market presence, capturing new opportunities, and fostering long-term client relationships.
At the heart of your role lies the strategic development of regional initiatives in support of the identification and pursuit of new work, and the promotion of our people and projects. You will lead the strategy conversation and develop comprehensive tactics tailored to the unique characteristics and opportunities within your region involving, but not limited to, the analysis of CRM data and external market trends, the identification of competitor activities, the development of targeted assets to enhance our pursuits, the application of lessons learned from debriefs and previous pursuits, and an assessment of client needs to identify unique priorities and opportunities in full alignment with strategic growth goals (e.g., business plans).
Pursuit management is a cornerstone of your responsibilities. You oversee the strategic pursuit of key projects and clients, working closely with business development teams and/or seller-doer executives to identify and prioritize opportunities, develop winning strategies, and coordinate the creation of compelling proposals and presentations that showcase the firm's expertise and capabilities. When you are not personally involved in the region's highest priority pursuits, your leadership in this area includes thorough reviews of all regional pursuit marketing materials, proposals, and presentations to ensure accuracy, consistency, professionalism, and alignment with brand standards and client expectations. Your meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence elevates the firm's reputation and credibility in the marketplace. Your guidance empowers team members to excel in their roles and contribute to the firm's overall success. And your leadership supports the team's growth and development - building and nurturing a high-performing pursuit management team, providing mentorship, training, and support to enhance their skills and effectiveness in securing new work for the company.
As an extension of (and in support of) pursuit management, you are a key liaison for external communications. You develop strategies unique to your assigned region and/or division(s) to engage with key stakeholders, including clients, partners, industry associations, and the media, and work collaboratively with the company's Strategic Communications team who will ultimately implement all external communications efforts. Through the development of strategic thought leadership initiatives, digital marketing campaigns, and targeted communication efforts, you enhance the firm's visibility and reputation as a trusted leader in the AEC industry and, more specifically, within your designated region.
This role requires a seasoned professional with the ability to think strategically, a holistic understanding of our core business activities (as well as the overall AEC industry), an intimate understanding of the total pursuit lifecycle, a strong grasp of how communications strategies support the acquisition of work, and the ability to turn data and analytics into actionable strategies to support regional growth. It is also critical to possess proven capabilities managing complex teams and strong interpersonal skills that serve as a catalyst to positive interactions, teamwork, and a harmonious working relationship with others throughout the organization.
