Job description

We Are:

Being part of Accenture Public Sector Consulting means becoming an expert at working in partnership with our clients to make big changes happen in the delivery of public services to Canadians. To us, this is all about turning constant disruption into continuous reinvention. We are an innovation led company that works at the heart of our clients’ organizations so that no matter how complex the challenge, we face the future with confidence.

If you love solving challenges and not just studying them and take pride in having an impact on how our clients deliver their mandates, then Accenture Public Sector Consulting is the right place for you. Join us to develop your ideas into provocative points of view and transformative insights that help shape programs and services. You’ll work with an amazing and diverse mix of world-class experts with access to one of the most robust portfolios of capabilities and ecosystem relationships in the industry. Together, you’ll do so much more than consult.

Become a part of a unique culture that represents a global collective of diverse talent and people innovating together.

You are:

Curious about how government operates, and unafraid to experiment. You are willing to share your ideas. You can see all around that the world is changing. Emerging technologies and next-generation IT excite you –– you’re ready to put that passion to work. Citizens want more. And you know that in order to make change happen, you need to understand how things work today so you can improve them for tomorrow. You are ready to stretch boundaries –– and yourself.

  • Defining end to end processes that incorporate machine learning and AI

  • Analyze project statistics and business data to read the story behind the numbers

  • Manage projects like a pro, tracking status, timeline, costs and delivery

• The work location for this role can include a mix of working remotely and working onsite with our clients and partners or in our offices and delivery centers to enable delivery and cultivate our client relationships.

• Please note that with all our roles, you should expect some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.

Here’s what you need:

• Prior experience in management consulting or similar role, demonstrating core consulting skills: business, processes analysis, organizational strategies, operating models, business cases, project management and an interest in technology.

• Known for being a strong researcher who is analytical and a critical thinker able to look at things from all angles and feel comfortable getting up in front of a group of people to lead workshops.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel with process modelling and presentation tools.

• Excellent communication (written, oral) and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to adjust quickly and confidently when faced with change. Able to engage and enable team members to reach a common goal, seeking out answers, driving solutions and getting results. Able to follow through on what you say you’ll do, while also knowing when to ask for help.

• Bachelor’s degree in any major
