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. Instead, we work alongside our clients to unleash their potential and deliver lasting impact that you hardly ever achieve by sitting in a boardroom.

IF YOU THINK CONSULTING IS MAKING GREAT POWERPOINT DECKS, KEEP WALKING.

Don’t get us wrong. We admire a sharp PowerPoint™ presentation as much as the next global consulting company. Heck, we make plenty ourselves. And we respect the people who are good at making them. But give us the choice between a column of perfectly aligned bullet points and delivering a plan that helps turn a client’s business around and the decision is a no-brainer. At Partners in Performance, being a Senior Associate isn’t about writing reports, or standing up and presenting them. It’ about the results. We’re here to deliver big, rapid, sustainable results for our clients. Deliver. Not just recommend. So, our end product isn’t a report, it’s what happens once we work alongside the client to implement what’s in it. It’s why our clients around the world choose us, and why we choose a certain type of person to fill our key roles. Like this one: Senior Associate

Now that you’ve finished your MBA – and maybe even had a few years in a commercial role – you’ll be looking for the opportunity to turn your insights into business results. As a Partners in Performance Senior Associate those results could impact some of the world’s largest companies.

This role combines analysis with outcomes in a way that will challenge and develop you– all the time with the full support and mentoring of your fellow Partners in Performance colleagues. Once the recommendations built on your analysis are agreed to, you can expect to work alongside clients from the shop floor to the C-suite to help make them happen. Whether it’s process improvement, supply chain optimization or back office transformation, you’ll help turn your recommendations into results for your clients.

The nuts and bolts.

We’re looking for Senior Associates in our Americas business. You’ll also need a distinction average in a Master’s degree or MBA and up to 6 years’ commercial experience is desirable. Working with Analytics is like breathing to us, so Excel and general math ability are important. We love interesting people, so please include your community, sporting and volunteering experience in your CV. Our priority is to work along side our clients at the site, where the action is happening. Work travel and working on heavy industry, construction like sites, are a norm for us. Come work with the front lines, boots on the ground and be a part of the action.

This position involves a significant amount of on-site travel. The ideal candidate is comfortable and available to travel 80% as part of the role.

Basic Qualifications:

• Master’s Degree or MBA with an anticipated graduation date of Winter 2026/2027 or Spring/Summer 2027
• 5+ years of professional experience
• English proficiency is required for this position, as this role involves regular interaction with stakeholders across Canada, the US, and globally where English is the primary language of business.
• English is required for this position as this role will be aligned to multi-national teams where English is the common language across our North America Market. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking multi-national teams, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company’s activities to avoid this requirement.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience or academic exposure to the Natural Resources industry and/or operations consulting
• Exposure to or interest in working in field-based environments such as mining, heavy industry, or construction sites
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills with proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
• Willingness and ability to travel for client engagements as business needs require, including potential for frequent on-site client presence
