• Client deliverables: Create clear, polished presentations, process maps, operating model designs, value cases and implementation roadmaps.

• Assessments: Support end-to-end maturity assessments covering planning, procurement, resilience, sustainability and data or technology readiness.

• Technology and AI: Help analyse, configure or implement platforms such as Kinaxis, Coupa, Celonis, SAP S/4HANA or o9, and explore how AI and agentic solutions can improve processes.

• Practice and learning: Contribute to thought leadership, offering assets and knowledge sharing while staying current on AI-enabled planning, digital twins, Scope 3 and emerging regulation.

What’s in it for you

At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 30 days vacation per year, private medical insurance and 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice!
