This is an extraordinary chance to begin a rewarding career as a Sourcing and Procurement professional with Marketing experience.

You will nurture relationships with client stakeholders, facilitate project plans, and communicate findings to both internal teams and clients.
Beyond client work, you will support Accenture's Marketing Center of Excellence by creating deliverable content such as points of view, case studies, and whitepapers to capture marketing category knowledge and support business development. Your experience means people look to you for guidance, and you will ensure teams get their work done on time, every time.
