You will bring together security, business, and commercial expertise to help clients address their complex security challenges. Specifically, we are looking for candidates with broad experience in one or multiple Security domains, combined with the ambition to develop themselves on the commercial side as well. In this role, you will work with delivery teams to ensure existing projects are operating as expected, while also building relationships and developing new opportunities with clients. You will act as a bridge between the client, the client account team, and our group of experts in the security domain teams.

Key Responsibilities

• People: As part of the Accenture Security team, you will operate within the CMT Security industry group, one of the five industry groups in the Netherlands.

In practice, this means deploying cutting-edge security systems, using AI to analyze security risks, and developing defense strategies based on a combination of technology and user behavior. You will have the freedom to take a proactive and creative approach to find the best solutions for our clients’ specific security challenges.

We also prioritize maintaining a strong team identity and culture within the security group. Throughout the year, we organize various (social) events, including an annual ski trip, parties, BBQs, and more.
