You Are: A Strategy expert with deep professional experience working across the Software and Platforms industry — and a genuine obsession with what AI makes possible. You see around corners. You translate complex, fast-moving dynamics into sharp, actionable strategies that clients can execute at scale. You are not just keeping up with the AI revolution — you are actively shaping how your clients lead it. You thrive in ambiguity, energize the teams around you, and build the kind of trusted client relationships that last well beyond a single engagement. Whether you are advising a hyperscaler on their next platform play or helping an AI-native startup define its go-to-market model, you bring the intellectual rigor, creative instinct, and human connection to make it real. The Work: • Lead high-impact teams tackling the C-suite's most urgent challenges — from AI integration and enablement to total enterprise reinvention and technology modernization — developing bold strategies clients can execute with speed and confidence. • Define the AI-enabled future for technology companies — hyperscalers, software players, AI-native disruptors, and social platforms — shaping the organizational strategies, visions, and roadmaps that give them a durable competitive edge. • Reimagine how clients operate by embedding AI-powered tools, intelligent automation, and platform orchestration into the core of their business — turning operational complexity into a strategic advantage. • Deliver sharp, differentiated insights on product portfolio optimization, platform monetization, and ecosystem partnerships — helping Software and Platform clients unlock new revenue streams and outpace the competition. • Become an indispensable strategic partner to your clients, building relationships that extend well beyond individual engagements and position Accenture as the trusted advisor they turn to first. • Shape the conversation in the industry — develop thought leadership, contribute to high-profile forums, and help define what the future of Software and Platforms looks like. • Invest in the next generation — mentor junior strategists, accelerate their growth, and build the kind of team that delivers exceptional results consistently. • Managers are expected to be hands‑on in analysis and deliverable shaping while leading teams. • Own all work products end‑to‑end, including quality, coherence, and readiness for client consumption. • Responsible for day‑to‑day client stakeholder communication, expectation‑setting, and internal team leadership. • Travel as needed, up to 80%. Here's What You Need: • A Bachelor's degree. • Minimum of 5 years of professional experience consulting for or working at a Software or Platform company, or a start-up. Bonus Points If: • You have an MBA or equivalent graduate degree. • Strong client communication skills with a proven ability to influence and inspire senior executives. • A proven track record of delivery on complex, high-impact client engagements where AI played a central role. • Hands-on experience applying generative AI, machine learning, or AI-powered platforms to solve real business problems — for clients or within your own organization. • Prior experience driving insights using visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx) and analytics tools (e.g., Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics). • Familiarity with AI development ecosystems, LLM-based tooling, or AI platform strategies is a strong plus.
