Career Level: Consultant

As a team:

Supply Chain and Engineering is a major functionally-oriented consulting practice: we help our clients to identify and quantify the transformational opportunities available in today's dynamic business environment. Our work spans a range of value-focused operations assignments from redefining an operating model, reconfiguring national, regional or global supply chain footprint and capabilities through to global sourcing of core categories and creation of supply chain risk frameworks to ensure that potential risks are transparent and the extended supply chain is resilient.

In our team you will:

• Learn at the forefront of the industry, provide actionable insights to the world's top organisations, helping them address priority C-suite issues with strategies and improvements they can execute with speed and at scale

  • Procurement Strategy Definition
  • Procurement Transformation (Operating Model, Process Design, AI etc.)
  • Indirect & Direct Materials Spend Optimisation
  • Contract Management (Compliance, Contract Lifecycle Management, etc.)
  • Intelligent Procurement (Technology Strategy, Systems Implementation, AI)
  • Procurement managed services / outsourcing

In this role you will:

• Work with leadership at our clients to develop their strategic approach to procuring material and services including make/buy decisions throughout their value chain in order to optimise efficiency and client value.
• Design and prove the strategic business case for procurement transformations (alongside the rest of Accenture's network). This will include the strategic assessment of the optimal digital and analytics solution for sourcing and procurement (including but not limited SAP Ariba, Oracle, Coupa, Jaggaer, iValua).
• Advise on how to deploy AI across the Source to Pay value chain, and work with technology partners to deploy AI use cases
• Deliver sourcing & procurement transformations in line with client's business challenges:
  
  • Create capabilities (process/tools/people) in line with the future operating model
  • Analyse and model financial data to support large scale cost reduction programmes, utilising functional and cost category benchmarks, process definitions and enterprise value targeting tools
  • Help clients harness digital and emerging technology solutions to power their operational strategies (including via RPA, IoT, Blockchain, Analytics, AI)
• Support value chain transformation projects across functional areas within and outside of supply chain, focusing on process reinvention, operational excellence, and cost transformation
• Support business development opportunities and prepare sales proposals
• Execute client engagements, with a strong capability to develop the skills and capabilities of junior colleagues

What's in it for you
