Specialist Manager (Pursuit Design) - Pursuit CoE
Position Summary
Deloitte is seeking an experienced Creative Strategist (Individual Contributor) to lead the creative vision and hands-on execution of high-impact pursuit collaterals across print and digital platforms. This role is ideal for a senior design professional who thrives as a maker, thinker, and visual storyteller, someone who can independently translate complex business ideas into compelling, brand-aligned creative solutions.
In this role, you will serve as the creative strategist for new business pursuits supporting Deloitte’s businesses. You will work closely with senior leaders, pursuit strategists, writers, and cross-functional teams to shape the visual narrative of pursuit materials, elevate design quality, and bring clarity to complex information through strong conceptual thinking and refined execution.
This is not a people-management role. Instead, it is a senior individual contributor role for a creative professional who sets direction through expertise, influence, innovation, and exceptional design craft. You will also help advance the team’s capabilities by exploring emerging tools, technologies, and GenAI-enabled design approaches.

- Translate complex business concepts, data, and messaging into clear, engaging visual communication that strengthens storytelling and client impact.
- Partner closely with senior leaders, pursuit teams, strategists, and cross-functional stakeholders to develop visual solutions that support business goals and elevate the quality of pursuit materials.

- Maintain high standards of craft, consistency, and attention to detail while managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced, pursuit-driven environment.
- Present and articulate creative concepts, rationale, and design recommendations to senior stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
- Contribute to a culture of creativity, experimentation, and continuous improvement through thought leadership, collaboration, and strong individual execution.
