Job description

This role is with our Partners in Performance team, part of Accenture.

Partners in Performance, Part of Accenture is a global management consulting firm with a focus on human performance working alongside client partners to make change happen. We’ve got offices in Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia, Africa, North and South America and Europe but prefer to spend as little time in them as possible.

As a Principal Director you will be responsible for developing relationships with senior client staff, heading up major projects and ensuring lasting impact in business improvement. You will also be responsible for business development, nurturing and optimising existing client relationships as well as working on new acquisitions.

Your experience will include a proven strategy consulting tool kit that also includes the ability to deliver large scale transformation projects and frontline productivity improvements.

You will be proactive, driven and take a team approach when interacting with stakeholders & ensuring recommendations are sustained.

Finally, you will have proven experience in a leadership role and will have prior experience working in a similar role with a global management consulting firm. Ideally you will have worked with a variety of clients in both delivery and business development.

What we are looking for:

  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to influence C level and operational management
  • Exceptional logical reasoning and the ability to ruthlessly prioritise to ensure rapid gains are achieved and sustained
  • Proven recent blue chip, generalist consulting background in a T1 consulting house
  • Ideally experience of delivering results based engagements with proven, lasting impact
  • A genuine passion for sustainable results

Based on business requirements, candidates applying for this role can also be assessed for other opportunities within Accenture.
