Your Mission

Are you professionally connected to the CG&S industry and eager to help clients thrive at one of the world's leading consulting and technology companies? Are you passionate about sales-driven client advisory and ready to take full ownership of your own account? Then find your path to Accenture! As part of our Client Account Team, you will be the central interface between "your" CG&S clients and Accenture's operational business units across different types of services (consulting, technology, business process outsourcing). In this role, you will expand our project portfolio with the client and, as a Relationship Manager, ensure optimal outcomes and the highest levels of client satisfaction across ongoing projects.

Your Daily Work

• Build client relationships.

You proactively engage with (potential) clients and respond to tenders with the goal of generating additional project business.

• Coordinate the proposal process.

Focusing on value proposition, added value, strategic fit and related topics, you coordinate and orchestrate the proposal process as the central quality authority - acting as a key point of contact both internally and externally, including for existing clients in the context of ongoing projects, such as in Steering Committees (SteerCos) or during escalations.

• Drive positive business growth.

In short: through your planning and management activities, you contribute to the positive portfolio and business development of both the client and Accenture.

Who You Are

• Degree in Business, Engineering or IT and 5+ years of experience in Consulting, Project Management or Account Management in the CG&S / CPG industry
• Experience and exposure to multiple types of services (consulting advisory, technology delivery, business process outsourcing execution) and strong knowledge of processes, systems, and business opportunities and risks within the CG&S / CPG industry
• Interest in and initial exposure to digitalization and technology trends relevant to the CG&S / CPG industry
• Confident presence with clients and colleagues, with the ability to identify and solve industry-specific challenges
• Fluent in English and German/French

What We Offer

• A flexible working model that gives you the opportunity to work remotely and actively shape your own working hours.
• Access to comprehensive learning and development opportunities covering the latest technology trends as well as soft skills, helping you stay up to date.
• We highly value diverse and inclusive teams. To strengthen team spirit and collaboration, we regularly organize events and activities for you and your team.
• An attractive and market-competitive compensation package that allows you to increase your earnings through individual performance and goal achievement.
• Additional benefits that we believe should be standard, but are still worth highlighting: employee discounts, the opportunity to lease a bike through our company bike program, participation in our employee share purchase program, insurance and retirement savings options, and much more.
