Job Description: We welcome remote candidates based in the continental United States Merkle is seeking a Director, Value Consulting to help clients quantify the business impact of strategic and technology investments. You'll build the financial and measurement frameworks that turn ambiguous initiatives into clear, defensible numbers, then translate those numbers into recommendations executives can act on. This role blends financial modeling with broader value-realization work: measuring whether change is actually landing, and putting a number on what happens when it doesn't. You will lead the development of compelling business cases and comprehensive financial models including P&L projections, ROI analysis, and budget forecasting that are critical to client success. You will join a group of problem-solvers who draw inspiration from everywhere and build solutions that make clients say 'wow' — including FP&A practitioners, data analysts, consultants, and business analysts. Together, you will articulate and measure the value of dentsu and Merkle solutions, driving higher close rates and revenue through credible business valuation approaches. You'll begin as a detective, uncovering the hidden value in client challenges. You'll evolve into an architect, designing frameworks that turn ambiguity into advantage. You'll become a translator, helping executives see the future through the lens of data. You Will:
Build measurement frameworks that connect program adoption to customer, employee, and business outcomes
Quantify the financial impact of delayed or unresolved initiatives, not just the upside of new investments
Partner with our consulting teams to lead individual deliverables related to Business Value projection and transformation engagements, often coordinating with concurrent Merkle data, technology, or digital experience implementation teams
Plan and facilitate client discovery through client interviews, document review, surveys/questionnaires, or marketing data analysis
Manage daily consulting delivery efforts, including client meetings, discussions, workshops, deliverable reviews, or readouts
Support governance and steering committee reporting with clear financial narrative and value tracking over time
Plan and manage business prioritization workshops applying a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to select top recommendations
Build comprehensive financial models from scratch in Excel to quantify business impact, project ROI, and demonstrate the value proposition of proposed solutions to clients
Use market and competitive research to uncover trends, benchmarks, and best practices to inform recommendations
Facilitate work sessions and interviews with our teams and partners to assess gaps, gather requirements, and validate recommendations
Develop executive-level presentations, summarize findings into common themes that inform client recommendations
