The Work:

• Chair the portfolio governance forum and facilitate investment sequencing and prioritization across multiple transformation programs
• Own the end-to-end reinvention value case from initial business case through value realization tracking, maintaining CEO/CFO-level narrative around ROI
• Serve as primary Accenture senior relationship owner with client executive team, managing C-suite relationships and driving alignment across leadership
• Surface trade-offs, escalate delivery risks and resourcing gaps, and drive the reinvention roadmap including sequencing of transformation waves
• Lead cross-functional Reinvention Force teams across Transformers, Workforce Architects, and AI & Data Innovators
• Drive business development: originate, shape, and close new reinvention engagements; lead proposals and commercial pursuits
• Contribute to thought leadership and practice development for the Life Sciences Reinventive Enterprise practice

You are:

A strategic leader and trusted advisor with deep Life Sciences expertise. You are a structured problem solver with extensive consulting and industry experience. You communicate clearly and credibly with C-suite executives. You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and know how to lead a team while staying close to the work. You have driven business development and built lasting client relationships. You bring energy, resilience, and a genuine passion for building something new.

Candidates must have at least 8 years of combined experience in the following areas:

• Enterprise transformation or strategy consulting at a top-tier firm or leading Life Sciences organization, with experience leading multi-workstream programs from problem framing through delivery.
• A proven track record leading engagements with measurable client impact - including owning the value case, governing delivery, and maintaining C-suite relationships throughout.
• Experience developing and presenting transformation roadmaps, reinvention narratives, and investment cases to C-suite, SVP, and VP-level stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of how AI, data, and digital technologies are reshaping enterprise operating models - and the ability to translate that into client strategy and roadmap.
• Demonstrated success in business development: identifying opportunities, shaping proposals, and building senior client relationships.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams and managing junior professionals.
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally as client and business needs require.

Preferred Skills
