Business Strategist Consultant

Overview

Accenture Song is a team of innovators that builds digital products, services and new ventures for game-changing businesses, including global leaders in mobility, beauty, wellbeing, financial services and retail. The impact we are having is changing how people live, bank, work, or travel.

We are not your typical consultancy and are focused on combining creative, strategic and commercial thinking with technology to accelerate concepts from ideas to market-ready solutions. We value collaboration and high performance in tight teams to help ideas reach the market.

Your Role

Within every digital product creation team, there are three core disciplines – strategy, creative and technology. As a Business Strategist – Analyst, you sit in the strategy team and form the core of the project team, supporting Consultants and Managers. You run individual workstreams and inject energy, proactivity and impact into the journey. You understand the project and its challenges and how it fits into the client’s bigger picture.

In this role you’ll be responsible for driving your own development, not waiting to be asked, and proactively seeking ways to push the standard of the work. You’ll have a wider impact outside of your project teams by helping to drive our strategy interns and by sharing your unique skills and talents with the team to evolve our culture.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep understanding of your client – the challenges they face, the market they operate in, and everything in between.
• Build a strong relationship with junior members of the client team.
• Contribute to planning, preparation and facilitation of working sessions – internal swarms and external client workshops and presentations.
• Carry out both primary research (e.g., interviews, mystery shopping, customer testing) and deep market research and analysis (e.g., commercial analysis).
• Work closely with the creative team to help build the story for client meetings and pitches, as well as design the solutions.
• Own the creation of project deliverables (e.g., case studies, strategy reviews).
• Present your work and elements of presentations with confidence and clarity.
• Coordinate logistics with third parties to support project delivery (e.g., research, travel, freelancers).

Qualifications and Qualities

• 1+ years of strategy experience in innovation or related fields; experience with horizon three proposition development (including internships) is a plus.
• Prior consulting or entrepreneurial experience is beneficial.
• Ability to work bilingually in French and English; high level proficiency is required.
