Job description

We are looking for an experienced Auto Sector Lead to drive strategic growth, sector insights, and client engagement in the automotive space. The ideal candidate brings a professional services mindset (consulting, agency, or digital transformation background), with strong front-end industry experience —specifically in marketing, advertising, sales, or customer-facing technology —within the auto sector.

This role is focused on shaping the firm’s auto sector positioning, advising clients, identifying opportunities, and leading the development of high-impact solutions. We are not seeking candidates with experience limited to supply chain or traditional marketing functions.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Lead the automotive sector strategy, including go-to-market planning, client development, and thought leadership.
  • Bring deep expertise in current and emerging auto industry trends : electrification, connected vehicles, software-defined cars, retail transformation, digital sales, and customer experience innovation.
  • Act as a trusted strategic advisor to clients, helping them navigate change and identify business opportunities across the front end of the value chain.
  • Collaborate with consulting, technology, creative, and digital experience teams to shape forward-looking, cross-functional solutions.
  • Build and nurture relationships with OEMs, mobility players, and digital disruptors.
  • Support business development by providing sector intelligence, driving pitch strategy, and engaging with executive stakeholders.
  • Continuously track sector shifts and competitor movements to inform strategic decision-making and internal capability building.

Requirements :

  • 10+ years of experience with a blend of automotive industry and professional services (consulting, agency, or tech / digital transformation).
  • Proven exposure to front-end automotive functions such as brand, retail, digital sales, advertising, CX, or product innovation .
  • Strong understanding of the evolving auto ecosystem, particularly around digital transformation, customer experience, and go-to-market strategies.
  • Track record of delivering strategic value to auto clients in an advisory or cross-functional leadership capacity.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable working with C-level clients and internal teams.
  • Ability to work across teams, manage ambiguity, and translate market insights into actionable strategies.
  • Nice to Have :

  • MBA or advanced degree in Business, Engineering, or related field.
  • Global experience, particularly in North America, Europe, or Asia.
  • Knowledge of adjacent sectors (tech, energy, infrastructure) that influence the future of mobility.
  • What We’re Not Looking For :

  • Candidates whose primary experience is in supply chain , procurement, or traditional corporate marketing roles without customer-facing strategic exposure.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Shape how the automotive industry engages with the future of mobility, retail, and customer experience.
  • Work alongside a diverse, forward-thinking team across strategy, consulting, and technology.
  • Be part of a fast-paced environment with the opportunity to create meaningful impact and thought leadership.
  • Flexibility, autonomy, and room to grow in a high-visibility role.
  • Create a job alert for this search
