This is a leadership role supporting one of Deloitte's high-profile strategic partnerships, combining relationship management, client and market activation, brand stewardship and programme leadership.

What brings us all together at Deloitte? It's how we approach the thousands of decisions we make every day. How we behave, our beliefs and our attitudes. In other words: our values. Whatever we do, wherever we are in the world, we lead the way, serve with integrity, take care of each other, foster inclusion, and collaborate for measurable impact. These five shared values lead every decision we make and action we take, guiding us to deliver impact how and where it matters most.

As Deloitte/McLaren Programme Lead, you will lead the day-to-day delivery of a major global partnership and help shape its next phase of growth. Acting as a central point of connection, you will bring together senior stakeholders, client teams and specialists across marketing, communications, events and commercial operations to create a focused and coherent programme of activity.

You will balance strategic thinking with practical delivery. The role requires judgement, influence, setting priorities, building relationships, shaping activation, protecting the brand and demonstrating impact. The role reports into a Director within the Executive and Board Programme and is supported by a Partnership Assistant.

You're a natural at connecting people and priorities. You can build credibility with senior stakeholders, bring structure to ambiguity and move from strategic discussion to clear decisions and action. You are comfortable balancing different interests, challenging constructively and communicating complex issues simply.

You bring a commercial and creative mindset. You can see how partnerships, content and experiences contribute to stronger relationships and growth, while maintaining the governance and discipline expected of a global professional services firm.

We bring together capabilities and best practices from around the globe to deliver relationship development activities, marketing and corporate affairs, whilst our operations team is focused on ensuring we're constantly improving what we do.

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
