Job description

Job Description

We’re Accenture Song’s Venture Studio - brought in when clients need to evolve what works now, reimagine what’s next, or build something entirely new. We make it real, fast, and together.

Our team is made up of Growth strategists, Product builders, and Creative designers who make growth happen by building products people want to use, and we do it for truly game-changing businesses like L’Oréal, British Airways, Primark, VMO2 and Jaguar Land Rover. The impact we are having is changing the way people live, shop, bank, work, and travel.

We are not your typical consulting team and we are much more than your traditional design studio. We’re a team of founders, operators and creatives who’ve launched products, scaled businesses and been recognised by Fast Company and beyond. We don’t just advise, we build - whether it’s launching a totally new venture from ground- up, or revolutionising an existing product or service.

Scale isn’t easy to come by, but being part of Accenture enables us to truly stand behind that word. We connect the dots across different parts of this organisation to be able to deliver for some of the biggest brands in the world.

This is a one-of-a-kind place to forge your career. Where the brightest, most ambitious minds are let loose on the biggest, most impactful problems.

Product & Venture Development
