The posting

Succeed by shaping what matters

We’re BDO, one of the UK’s largest accountancy and business advisory organisations, helping ambitious businesses, their owners and management teams navigate a changing world.

With circa 8,500 people across the UK and Ireland, backed by a global network spanning 169 countries, there’s lots of knowledge, experience and different thinking to draw on here. But what matters is what you bring to it; your ideas, perspectives - the things you care about getting right.

So, here’s where you come in:

The team you’ll join

BDO has clear ambitions for sustainable, profitable growth. We need to make good choices about where we compete, where we invest and how we turn our plans into revenue.

We are looking for a Director, Growth Intelligence and Strategy to help us do this. (Based in London or regionally).

You will work with senior leaders across BDO to identify opportunities, test assumptions and improve commercial decisions. You will bring together business, client, market and financial insight to show where growth can come from and where we need to act.

This is not a traditional sales or marketing role. It is a senior strategy and insight role which combines rigorous analysis with strong commercial judgement.

This role reports to the Executive Board Member that chairs the Growth, Regions and Markets Executive, which is comprised of a diverse cross section of leaders within the business. The primary purpose of the Growth, Regions & Markets Executive is to provide strategic direction and oversight for matters impacting growth culture and collaboration, ensuring that we’re working together to bring the best of BDO to our clients every day.

The role you’ll have will

  • Shape BDO’s growth strategy and turn it into clear choices and practical plans
  • Assess opportunities across markets, sectors, client groups, services and regions
  • Analyse the drivers of growth, revenue and profitability
  • Test the evidence behind growth plans, forecasts and investment proposals
  • Challenge existing business models and explore new ways to create value
  • Identify opportunities arising from changing client needs, technology and AI
  • Build commercial cases for new growth opportunities
  • Turn complex evidence into clear recommendations for senior leaders
  • Track whether growth initiatives are delivering the intended results
  • Help BDO focus its investment on the areas with the best potential.

This role will complement Sales and Marketing. It will focus on where BDO should grow, what drives performance and whether our choices are producing results.

You are an experienced strategy or commercial leader with strong analytical skills. You can see the wider picture without losing sight of the evidence.

You are comfortable working in a complex business where influence matters as much as formal authority. You can challenge senior leaders directly, while maintaining their confidence and support.

You'll be someone with

  • Significant experience in growth, commercial or corporate strategy
  • Strong commercial and financial judgement
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Experience of assessing markets, competitors and growth opportunities
  • Experience of developing or challenging business models
  • The ability to turn data into clear commercial insight
  • Confidence working with and challenging senior leaders
  • Strong communication and influencing skills
  • A record of turning insight into action and measurable results.

You may have built your career in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, commercial due diligence, corporate development or strategy-led transformation. Professional services experience could be useful, but it is not essential.

You will be

  • Curious: You ask good questions and look beyond the headline numbers
  • Commercial: You keep clients, revenue, profit and long-term value in view
  • Analytical: You use evidence to find patterns, test ideas and reach sound conclusions
  • Challenging: You question established thinking in a clear and constructive way
  • Practical: You turn strategy into choices, action and results
  • Influential: You build support across a business where many people involved in growth will not report to you
  • Clear: You make complex issues easy to understand
  • Focused: You give time and attention to the work which will have the greatest impact.

What will success look like?

You will help BDO make clearer choices about where to grow, identify opportunities and risks earlier, focus investment where it will have most impact and turn strategic priorities into sustainable, profitable revenue.

This is an opportunity to work at the heart of BDO’s growth agenda. You will not simply report on performance. You will help us decide where to compete, challenge how we grow and turn insight into action.

How you’ll succeed

You’ll have plenty of ways to develop at BDO; you might build deeper expertise in what you already do, take on something new or simply get better at the things that matter to you.

How and where you work matters too. Our agile working framework is designed around our Better Together approach: bringing more in-person time with clients and teams, creating more opportunities to share ideas, build confidence and develop day-to-day.

Whatever success looks like to you, you won’t be shaping it alone. You’ll have people around you who want you to do well, and plenty of opportunities to make it all count.

That’s how we’ll all continue to succeed by shaping what matters.

Apply now.

At BDO, we want everyone to feel included, valued and able to succeed. We welcome people from all backgrounds and are committed to improving access to opportunities – work we've been recognised for as Company of the Year at the 2026 British Diversity Awards. Because we know different experiences and perspectives make us stronger.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
