Overview
The Strategy & Consulting Analyst role at Accenture (the best student employer) focuses on assisting consulting teams in solving complex business problems for clients. Analysts gather and analyze data, conduct research, develop recommendations, and collaborate with clients and colleagues. This role provided me with a solid foundation for a career in management consulting, with opportunities for growth within Accenture's consulting practice as experience is gained.
Skills
I enjoyed working alongside Accenture Strategists to co-create a new Business and IT operating model for a Global Products client where I translated in-depth research findings and recommendations into high-quality materials for workshops attended by C-level executives, developing strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Responsibilities
Yes, when performing vendor due diligence, I led interviews and market assessments for Utility companies, analysing operational requirements, commercial strengths, and financial requirements for a Greek Energy client.
Support & Guidance
Countless support was offered continuously during my placement year. Colleagues all understood what I felt like being a junior in a large organisation and hence were helpful in answering any questions that I had
Culture
I enjoyed the friendly and fast-paced culture that was prevalent at Accenture. I found that everyone was open to speaking about anything when the time was available. The fast-paced environment also allows you to learn at speed with constant feedback, supporting accelerated growth in your development.
Your Impressions
Highly because over the past year, I have been privileged to be a part of Accenture's dynamic and forward-thinking team, where innovation, collaboration, and excellence are not just words, but a way of life. This experience has been a masterclass in professional growth, and I'm immensely grateful for the guidance and mentorship that has enriched my journey.
