Join Accenture Strategy & Consulting and you’ll transform the world’s leading companies and governments by designing and implementing innovative solutions. Every client and project is unique. Maybe you’ll use visual analytics to help a hotel chain identify opportunities for reducing their energy consumption or perhaps you will guide a healthcare client in the selection and application of new digital technologies. What remains the same is the tangible business value you’ll deliver to clients, whether it’s helping them to navigate growth and expansion, manage industry compliance, transform their business functions or increase cost efficiency. Accenture Strategy & Consulting offers a range of career experiences. Our Consultants work together to deliver seamless outcomes to our clients, leveraging our complementary skillsets and industry expertise across our services of Strategy & Consulting, Interactive, Technology and Operations.

As an Analyst you will be involved in the following:

• Identifying Opportunities: Assessing where the client is today, so we can identify ways to improve their business: gather, synthesise, visualise and analyse client information using research, interviews, workshops and analytic tools.
• Defining Client Needs: Identifying and documenting business requirements, so that we and the client understand and agree on what needs to change and take advantage of new opportunities.
• Designing the Future: Working with the client to design new business processes, technology requirements, and the plan for how we bring these changes to life using processes, technology and people.
• Guiding our Clients: Defining how the client will evolve to the new stage—define the impact of the changes and the steps we will take to help the leaders, employees, customers and others adapt quickly to new ways of working.
