Analytics Consultant – Data & AI Strategy & Consulting

Overview

Are you passionate about helping organizations rethink how they use data and AI to drive better decisions and actions? As an Analytics Consultant – Data & AI Strategy & Consulting at Accenture, you will help clients move beyond static reporting toward AI-enabled analytics and decision support. You will create new ways of engaging with data to support business transformation and decision-making, by designing and delivering insight interfaces that people trust, adopt, and use to drive action.

The Work

As an experienced analytics consultant, you will be part of the Visualization & Interaction Science team within Strategy & Consulting in Amsterdam, working directly with clients to help them become insight-driven organizations. You will operate at the intersection of data, analytics, AI, and human-centered design—translating decision needs into intuitive, actionable interfaces that help people understand information and act with confidence.

Your work includes advising clients on enterprise data and analytics strategies, designing and prototyping interactive decision interfaces, and shaping the implementation of modern, scalable, AI-enabled analytics platforms. You will partner with stakeholders across business and technology to ensure solutions are not only technically sound, but also trusted, adopted, and easy to use in day-to-day work.

On a day-to-day basis, you will collaborate with experts and leverage modern BI and AI capabilities—such as conversational analytics and AI assistants—to create enterprise-grade analytics products and experiences. You will also manage teams to deliver client-facing solutions, ensuring that designs and strategies align with technical architecture, governance, and human-centered principles—ultimately helping clients build data-literate, insight-driven cultures.

Across all our roles, we value in-person collaboration to learn, co-create, and build strong relationships with clients, peers, leaders, and communities. At the same time, we aim to be as flexible as possible to support individual work–life needs.
