Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree.
• Minimum of 8 years of professional experience working in strategy in the tech industry or at a consulting firm.

Responsibilities

• Define strategies and roadmaps that help technology companies stay ahead; spanning product strategy, AI adoption, data center strategy and implementation, total cost of ownership for AI, and go-to-market planning.
• Shape the strategic choices defining the next generation of technology companies; where to play, how to win, how AI changes the business, and what capabilities and operating model are required to lead.
• Conduct market analysis and competitive research to identify where the industry is moving, where clients have exposure, and where the real opportunities are; then turn that into a clear point of view.
• Size markets, model financial scenarios, and build the business cases that support major client decisions; from new product investments to large-scale infrastructure builds to operating model changes.
• Identify cost reduction and efficiency opportunities across the business including AI-related spend, infrastructure utilization, and operational overhead.
• Build the analytical foundation for client decisions; synthesizing market dynamics, competitive signals, financial data, and operational inputs into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Develop client-ready materials that communicate complex ideas simply and drive decisions at the executive level.
• Structure and lead workstreams from start to finish; framing the problem, designing the approach, managing the analysis, and delivering work that is ready for the client without a second pass.
• Own quality across everything the team produces. Coherence, rigor, and client-readiness are the standard.
• Support business development; contributing to proposals, shaping the point of view on new opportunities, and helping grow existing client relationships.
• Lead the client relationship day-to-day; managing communication, setting expectations, and building trust over time.
• Lead and inspire multidisciplinary teams spanning product, technology, and strategy — mentoring future leaders, shaping culture, and cementing Accenture's reputation as the definitive thought leader in Software and Platforms.
• Act as the single point of ownership for major engagements — responsible not just for delivery, but for making the work successful analytically, commercially, and relationally.
• Keep internal delivery on track; coordinating across workstreams and making sure the right people are focused on the right things.
• Develop junior team members; give honest feedback, create real ownership opportunities, and invest in their growth.
• Travel: Average 40 to 50% (up to 80% as needed).
