Full Job Description

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 relationship 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:

  • Apply deep Software and Platform expertise to help clients rethink their growth and profitability strategies — from redefining SaaS business models to designing AI-native platform ecosystems that create lasting competitive moats.

  • Lead transformative engagements that reimagine how technology companies operate — championing product-led growth frameworks, AI-first development methodologies, and data-driven operating models that deliver measurable, year-over-year performance gains.

  • Bring structure and strategy to the industry's hardest problems — platform scalability, AI infusion, and developer ecosystem enablement — building compelling hypotheses and rigorous business cases that unlock transformational value.

  • Harness the power of AI as both a consulting tool and a client deliverable — using advanced analytics, generative AI, and intelligent automation to accelerate insight generation, sharpen recommendations, and demonstrate value faster than the competition.

  • Lead and inspire multidisciplinary teams spanning product, technology, and strategy — mentoring future leaders, shaping culture, and cementing Accenture's reputation as the definitive thought leader in Software and Platforms.

  • Act as the single point of ownership for major engagements — responsible not just for delivery, but for making the work successful analytically, commercially, and relationally.

  • Set the overall narrative, rewrite or reshape stories for executives, and ensure consistency across workstreams.

  • Quickly grasp commercial excellence concepts and have familiarity with the sales cycle.

  • Travel as needed, up to 80%.

Here's What You Need:

  • A Bachelor's degree.

  • Minimum of 8 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.
