• Client leadership: Originate and shape large-scale End-to-End Value Chain and Operating Model Reinvention programmes, including GBS strategy and design, across Industrials, Consumer Goods & Retail, Energy & Resources, and Life Sciences.
• Executive advisory: Build trusted relationships with CPOs, CSCOs, COOs and GBS leaders, translating board priorities into target operating models, service delivery strategies and investment roadmaps.
• Commercial leadership: Set pursuit strategy for complex, multi-workstream opportunities and lead proposition design, value case development, commercial shaping and executive engagement.
• Programme sponsorship: Sponsor major delivery programmes, maintaining alignment to the value case, client outcomes and key performance indicators while addressing delivery and commercial risks.
• Innovation: Define the UKI point of view on End-to-End Operating Model Reinvention, GBS strategy and design, agentic process transformation, connected digital twins, and resilient and sustainable value chains.
• Ecosystem mobilisation: Bring together SC&E capabilities and partners such as SAP, Kinaxis, Coupa, Palantir and NVIDIA to create differentiated client propositions.
• Practice leadership: Grow the Value Chain community through recruitment, capability building, career development, thought leadership and external market presence.

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!
