Job description

As a Security Consultant in the Resources Security industry group, you will be responsible for overseeing security‑related activities at one of our clients in areas such as retail, consumer goods, or life sciences.

You will bring together technical, 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 commercial interest. In this role, you will support delivery teams to ensure projects are executed effectively and meet client expectations. You will work closely with clients, the client account team, and security domain experts to provide hands‑on assistance in delivering security consulting projects. Additionally, you will contribute to building strong client relationships and assist in identifying opportunities for future collaboration. This role offers the chance to develop your expertise while working on impactful security projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• People: As part of the Accenture Security team, you will operate within the Products Security industry group, one of the five industry groups in the Netherlands. Clients are undergoing (security) transformations that change their business and way of working, and a strong understanding of these industries is essential.
• Processes: You will leverage your industry‑specific knowledge to help clients define, implement, and run tailored security solutions, ensuring secure business and IT operations.
• Technology: You will have the opportunity to develop expertise in a wide range of innovative tools, technologies, and methodologies across all Security offerings.

With all our roles, there is some in‑person time for collaboration, learning, and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders, and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.

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.
