About the role
WHY ACCENTURE SONG - WHY DESIGN & DIGITAL PRODUCT
We are a team of innovators. We create digital products, services and new ventures for game-changing businesses, including global leaders in mobility, beauty, wellbeing financial services and retail. The impact we are having is changing the way people live, bank, work or travel.
We are not your typical consultancy and we are much more than your traditional design studio. Bringing together the sharpest creative, strategic and commercial minds, and technology experts we work in tight, truly collaborative and high-performing teams to accelerate concepts from ideas to market-ready solutions.
Building a new business takes a village and we need all types of skills. We are looking for «genius misfits» who thrive on excellence and collaboration. We want people to help us grow and evolve - finding new work, contributing to the culture, mentoring and growing the team.
YOUR ROLE
Within every digital product creation team, there are three core teams that provide expertise in our professional disciplines – strategy, creative and technology. As a Business Strategist - Analyst, you sit within the strategy team, you form the crucial core of the project team and are the engine room of the business supporting Consultants and Managers. You are here to run individual work-streams and inject fresh energy, proactivity and impact into the journey. You’ll have an understanding of the project and its challenges (e.g. understand where the projects fits into the client's bigger picture).
In this role you’ll be responsible for driving your own development, not waiting to be asked and proactively seeking out ways to push the standard of the work. You’ll have a wider impact outside of your project teams by helping to drive our strategy interns and sharing your own unique skills and talents with the team here to keep evolving our culture.
Responsibilities:
- Develop a deep understanding of your client – the challenges they face, the market they operate in and everything else in between.
- Build a strong relationship with junior members of the client team.
- Contribute to planning, preparation and facilitation of working sessions – both internal swarms and external client workshops and presentations.
- Carry out both primary research (e.g. interviews, mystery shopping, customer testing) and deep market research and analysis (e.g. commercial analysis).
- Work closely with our creative team to help build the story for client meetings and pitches as well as design the solutions.
- Own the creation of project deliverables (e.g. case studies, strategy review).
- Present your work and elements of presentations with confidence and clarity.
- Work out logistics with third parties to support project delivery (e.g. research, travel, freelancers).
What we love in a candidate:
- Someone that loves to tell stories with numbers, eats business cases for breakfast, business models for lunch and investment cases for dinner.
- An absolute must-have in every candidate is that they live and truly believe our values of being driven, fearless, striving for better, bringing your authentic self and being generous in all that we do.
- We look for people with a growth mindset who thrive working at pace with new and sophisticated problems. You will love working autonomously as a team, be skilled at navigating ambiguity and adept at challenging your client to think differently.
- We look for entrepreneurial mindsets with 1+ years strategy experience in innovation, working in horizon three proposition development (including internships).
- Prior consulting or entrepreneurial experience are certainly a plus.
- Your missions will be both in French and English so a high level of proficiency is a must.
