In this role, you will: * Lead high-value, complex client engagements that require rigorous and defensible intangible asset valuations, often in support of investment, M&A, litigation, or strategic decision-making. * Design and evolve proprietary frameworks for valuing and analyzing intangible assets-including but not limited to income, market, and cost-based methods-ensuring they remain commercially relevant and methodologically robust. * Shape go-to-market strategies, contributing to brand development, market positioning, and strategic business development. * Build and lead multi-disciplinary, often cross-border teams, driving delivery excellence, collaboration, and continuous capability development. * Advise clients on how to apply valuation insights to drive growth, structure deals, secure funding, and enhance asset governance. * Develop and manage key client relationships at the executive and board level, serving as the account lead on strategic engagements. * Represent Andersen as a thought leader in the valuation and strategy of intangible assets, including publications, events, and client education. * Collaborate with colleagues globally to support firm-wide learning, IP development, and delivery excellence.
