You are:

A learning strategy advisor who combines deep consulting expertise with the senior presence and commercial instincts that drive practice growth. You lead complex engagements end-to-end, setting strategic direction, architecting solutions, and ensuring delivery excellence across your team. You operate at the most senior levels of client organizations, often in the room with a Chief Learning Officer, Chief Talent Officer, or CHRO alongside your Managing Director, where your ability to build trust, shape thinking, and advance the conversation makes a tangible difference to Accenture's relationships and reputation. You have a sharp commercial eye: you read account dynamics, recognize emerging opportunities, and actively contribute to shaping proposals, designing pricing models, and building the pipeline that will define your path to Managing Director. Your consulting toolkit is complete (structured problem solving, hypothesis-driven analysis, executive storytelling, and precision slide craft), and you use it to translate high-stakes, ambiguous client challenges into strategies that are both intellectually rigorous and practically deliverable. You are also a developer of talent: you set the quality standard on every engagement and invest genuinely in the Managers and Consultants who work with you. And you are a builder of the practice itself: you stay relentlessly current with how AI is disrupting the learning field, translate emerging trends into original points of view, and actively develop the intellectual property and go-to-market capabilities that keep Accenture competitive in a market that is changing faster than ever.

The work:

• Lead end-to-end learning strategy engagements, setting strategic direction, architecting solutions, overseeing delivery quality, and driving measurable outcomes for clients
• Operate at senior client levels (CLO, CHRO, SVP Talent) alongside Managing Directors, building trusted relationships, shaping the strategic agenda, and advancing long-term commercial partnerships
• Identify and develop new commercial opportunities within existing and prospective accounts, contributing to proposals, pricing and commercial models, and go-to-market strategy for the Learning Performance & Innovation offering
• Design and architect learning strategy solutions that are both intellectually rigorous and commercially viable, translating client needs into well-structured, scalable, and deliverable programs with clear business cases
• Advise clients on learning vision, strategy, and operating model design, repositioning L&D as a strategic driver of business performance and workforce reinvention in the age of AI
• Lead learning capability diagnostics and needs assessments, developing prioritized transformation roadmaps grounded in data, market benchmarks, and business context
• Design AI-enabled learning operating models that embed automation, personalization, and analytics, spanning governance, roles, processes, technology, and vendor ecosystems
• Connect learning strategy to business performance outcomes, defining measurement frameworks, learning KPIs, and analytics approaches that demonstrate ROI and inform strategic investment decisions
• Shape and deliver agentic learning strategies, helping clients embed AI-powered performance support and intelligent enablement tools into the everyday flow of work
• Drive thought leadership in the learning advisory space, developing original points of view, building reusable IP and frameworks, and shaping Accenture's go-to-market capabilities as AI continues to disrupt how organizations design, deliver, and measure learning
• Coach and develop Manager-level practitioners, raising the standard of delivery quality and building a strong team culture across engagements
• Represent Accenture at industry forums, client events, and thought leadership platforms to build eminence in the learning advisory space
