Accenture is seeking a senior strategy professional to advise technology and AI companies on transformative questions. The role spans product strategy, data center planning, and go-to-market execution, with heavy emphasis on AI adoption, market sizing, and business cases.

You will lead cross-functional teams, drive client proposals, and shape the next generation of tech platforms. You will mentor multidisciplinary teams, manage senior stakeholder relationships, and travel 40–50% (up to 80%).

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree required.
8+ years of professional experience in strategy in the tech industry or at a consulting firm.
MBA or equivalent graduate degree is a plus.
Strong client communication skills with the ability to influence and inspire senior executives.

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).
