Strategy Associate Director

We are seeking a Strategy Associate Director to join our UKI End-to-End Value Chain team, a senior leadership community focused on the market's most complex supply chain, procurement, engineering and operating model transformations. You will combine board-level strategic advisory with hands-on commercial leadership - shaping the market, originating opportunities, mobilising pursuit teams and sponsoring delivery.

You will help clients move from siloed functional improvement to connected, intent-driven and AI-enabled value chains spanning Sourcing & Procurement, Planning & Fulfilment, Manufacturing & Operations, Engineering & R&D, and service. A key focus will be End-to-End Operating Model Reinvention and Global Business Services (GBS) strategy and design - reshaping how work is organised, governed and delivered, and building the value cases that secure executive investment.

Join a high-impact team operating at the intersection of strategy, technology and delivery. You will have the platform to shape a priority growth agenda spanning End-to-End Operating Model Reinvention and GBS transformation, lead market-defining client work and draw on Accenture's global capabilities and technology ecosystem.

• Client leadership: Originate and shape large-scale End-to-End Value Chain and Operating Model Reinvention programmes, including GBS strategy and design, across Industrials, Consumer Goods & Retail, Energy & Resources, and Life Sciences.
• Executive advisory: Build trusted relationships with CPOs, CSCOs, COOs and GBS leaders, translating board priorities into target operating models, service delivery strategies and investment roadmaps.
• Commercial leadership: Set pursuit strategy for complex, multi-workstream opportunities and lead proposition design, value case development, commercial shaping and executive engagement.
• Programme sponsorship: Sponsor major delivery programmes, maintaining alignment to the value case, client outcomes and key performance indicators while addressing delivery and commercial risks.
• Innovation: Define the UKI point of view on End-to-End Operating Model Reinvention, GBS strategy and design, agentic process transformation, connected digital twins, and resilient and sustainable value chains.
• Ecosystem mobilisation: Bring together SC&E capabilities and partners such as SAP, Kinaxis, Coupa, Palantir and NVIDIA to create differentiated client propositions.
• Practice leadership: Grow the Value Chain community through recruitment, capability building, career development, thought leadership and external market presence.

At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 30 days vacation per year, private medical insurance and 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice!

Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role as there will be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery of the first-class services, we are known for.

Accenture reserves the right to close the role prior to this date should a suitable applicant be found.
