We are Sourcing & Procurement, a fast-moving group that thinks and works quickly to deliver big-picture change for our clients. We approach challenges from all sides, leveraging functional insights, data power, digital leadership, and extensive industry know-how. Our mission is to show clients how to take major leaps forward in cost-out, strategic category management, and procurement operations.
Within Accenture Interactive, we operate in a digitally compassionate and innovation-led environment. Here, we help top clients shift to the "New" using leading-edge technologies on groundbreaking projects. Whether identifying opportunities to reduce marketing costs and environmental impacts or proposing innovative solutions to curb soaring prices and longer lead times, our team delivers tangible business results while enhancing the employee experience, customer satisfaction, and community impact.
You are a Sourcing and Procurement professional with Marketing experience who helps clients develop strategies and operating models to advance procurement capabilities and drive bottom-line financial impact. In this role, you will use your data skills to develop and implement strategies that improve the value and performance delivered by clients' supply bases, while establishing strategic procurement category plans and processes to sustain long-term value.
Communication is key; you will ensure that everyone understands your ideas and how to get them to work as quickly as possible. Your experience will mean that people look to you for guidance and ideas, and you will know how to ensure teams get their work done on time, every time. With direction from the firm's experienced leadership, you will play a critical role in building and providing analyses and recommendations that form the basis for key client decision-making relative to their sourcing and procurement strategies.
There is never a typical day at Accenture, but that is why we love it here. This is an extraordinary chance to begin a rewarding career immersed in a culture of innovation. You will be accountable for solving challenging problems, creating robust sourcing strategies, driving category insights, and synthesizing disparate data sources into clear deliverables. You will also nurture relationships with client stakeholders, facilitate project plans, and support Accenture's Marketing Center of Excellence by creating content such as POV slides, case studies, and whitepapers.
We are looking for self-starters with a bias towards proactively taking initiative to learn, grow, and advance projects. If you are comfortable in an entrepreneurial, performance-driven environment and have a capacity for innovation and process improvement, we want to hear from you.
