Job description

Job Role: Strategy Consultant

Location: London

Are you passionate about making energy and natural resources more affordable, secure, and sustainable? Accenture’s Resources Strategy Practice is growing, and we’re looking for new joiners to our London team, including a Strategy Consultant.

As a team:

Accenture partners with leading international energy, utilities, and mining firms. As companies balance the traditional role of providing the world with secure, affordable energy and resources with the transition to low-carbon solutions, they are rethinking their business and operational models. With our thought leadership and culture of innovation, we apply deep industry expertise, diverse skill sets, and next-generation technology to each business challenge. This differentiates us from other strategy firms and uniquely positions us to address the complexities of the energy transition. Accenture’s distinctive approach and proven success have led us to be recognised as the only management consulting firm ranked Gold in Energy, Utilities, and Natural Resources by the FT in 2024, placing us at the forefront of business and technology strategy in the resources sector.

As a Resources Strategy Consultant:

There will never be a typical day at Accenture, but that’s why people love it here. Here are just a few typical responsibilities:

• Support the delivery of successful consulting engagements to address our clients’ biggest challenges.
• Solve complex, ambiguous business, change, and technology problems, bringing structure and rigorous analysis under guidance from senior team members.
• Contribute to business development and sales, partnering with our leaders, clients, and consultants across our practices to take the best of our firm to our clients.
• Collaborate closely with managers and senior managers, learning continuously and contributing actively to the development of the Resources Strategy team.

Examples of typical projects that you will support and contribute to include:

• Designing and implementing energy transition strategies to help clients achieve net-zero targets.
• Developing asset strategies to maximise lifetime value and reduce emissions.
• Supporting the definition and design of new operating models that allow organisations to operate in a more effective, efficient, and nimble way.
• Driving cost and productivity performance improvements in the field.
• Delivering on the promise of data and AI to enable faster, better decision-making.
• Supporting large-scale transformation programmes and helping integrate Accenture’s full breadth of offerings.

We are looking for high-potential individuals with a rich set of skills, a keen willingness to learn, and personal drive to grow rapidly within the organisation:

• Consulting or relevant industry experience in the Resources industry (Oil & Gas, Utilities, Mining, Renewables).
• Strong knowledge and genuine passion for Resources industry trends, strategic challenges, competitive landscapes, and emerging business models.
• Ability to support business development efforts, including client research, proposal writing, and contributing to client discussions and presentations.
• Experience or exposure to transformation projects, including operational restructuring, organisational change, and technology-driven transformations.
• Comfort operating at the intersection of business and technology, with an understanding of how emerging technologies (e.g., AI, digital solutions) can deliver tangible strategic value for clients.
• Ability and willingness to travel and work effectively across diverse business and cultural environments.

At Accenture, technology continues to be the disruptor in the strategy arena, making us the strategy firm of tomorrow—an undeniably exciting place in which to forge a career.
