Purpose of the Role

TheVertical Strategy & Market Intelligence Analystacts as a strategic consultant within FedEx — blending analytical rigor, business acumen, and storytelling. Your mission: create value upstream while Sales delivers it downstream. You’ll work in cross‑functional, mission‑based teams to uncover market opportunities, define value propositions, and shape the strategic narrative behind FedEx’s offerings in key verticals.

The role combines market intelligence, strategic marketing, and commercial thinking — turning insights into clear recommendations that guide business decisions at the highest level.

How You’ll Work

You’ll be embedded in a vertical team focused on one or more industries — Automotive, Industrials, Defense & Aerospace, Fashion & Luxury, Healthcare, or AI/Data Centers — collaborating closely with Sales, Product, Business Development, and other marketing teams across regions. Early involvement in project “sprints” ensures that strategy and marketing alignment happen upstream, supporting seamless execution later.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end‑to‑end market assessments, including due diligences, scoping, and sizing for target verticals.

• Develop clear and differentiated value propositions (ISPs) and business cases supporting long‑term growth.

• Map supply chain flows, key actors, and capability requirements — identifying white spaces and FedEx competitive advantages.

• Coordinate marketing activities and internal stakeholder alignment across regions.

• Ensure Marketing and Go‑To‑Market teams are connected early in each project sprint.

Maintenance Phase

• Engage directly with customers to gather feedback and identify new opportunities.

• Monitor competitor actions, industry trends, and emerging growth areas across priority verticals.

• Lead internal and external thought leadership through insights, whitepapers, or executive webcasts.

• Shape and own FedEx’s customer narrative — why they choose us, and how we help them grow.

• Collaborate with Sales, Business Development Analytics, and Marketing on go‑to‑market and KPI tracking.

• Support business planning discussions with data and structured recommendations.

Competitive Intelligence (focused track)

• Analyze competitor strategies, financial results, and public reporting

• Develop proactive market scenarios and risk assessments (e.g. trade shifts, macroeconomic changes).

• Produce concise executive briefings and market forecasts to support leadership decisions.

Desired Skills & Competencies

• 3–6 years of relevant experience in management consulting, strategy, or competitive intelligence.

• Proven ability to structure complex problems, build analytical models, and derive actionable insights.

• Strong business acumen and strategic thinking — comfortable connecting market dynamics to commercial outcomes.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills; able to craft clear narratives for senior leadership.

• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint proficiency; experience with SQL, Databricks, or BI tools is a plus.

• Collaborative mindset and ability to thrive in cross‑functional, international teams.

• Curious, self‑starting attitude with the drive to translate ideas into tangible impact.

• Fluent in English (spoken and written).

Why This Role Matters

This position sits at the forefront of how FedEx understands and shapes its future markets. It’s an opportunity to connect strategic thinking with execution — to move from insight to impact — while collaborating with bright, entrepreneurial minds across functions and regions. You’ll influence where we play, how we compete, and what we deliver to customers across some of the world’s most exciting industries.
