Network Partner Engagement Specialist

Engagement Specialists play a critical innovation strategy role advancing Deloitte's US Consulting-wide New Business Growth Agenda. The ES partners closely with an Engagement Manager to translate growth strategies into action, leveraging the capabilities of NBI and serving as the integration point to help achieve those goals. The role collaborates with teams across New Business Innovation (NBI) - Deloitte Consulting's corporate innovation function focused on driving growth - and the Innovation and Asset Leaders (IALs) representing each Offering Portfolio and Industry to drive innovation investment, activate ecosystem strategy, challenge traditional structures, and develop the capabilities needed to reach our growth goals. As a member of the team shaping and developing NBI's relationships within the business, the ES will be at the center of transforming Deloitte's traditional Consulting business model.

The ES role will invest time understanding the unique context of each business leader and serve as a thought partner to the Engagement Manager as they shape relationship strategy and team priorities.
