You Are
A management whiz who knows how business, technology, and operations intersect to help clients enhance business performance. You know how to help life sciences clients design, build, and deploy solutions to help them get the right therapies to patients faster. You get a quiet satisfaction from using your analytical talents to solve problems in new and creative ways. You never have problems explaining those ideas, thanks to strong communications and interpersonal skills. Your experience means that you’re confident in your ability to get to an answer when people come to you with problems, and your leadership skills inspire your teams to produce quality work on time, every time.

– Support business development efforts and help build the Accenture Consulting practice

– Manage and coach junior team members

– Develop Accenture’s thought leadership and technical expertise in pharmaceutical, med tech and/or biopharma R&D

– Racking up those air miles will have to wait, as weekly non-essential travel to client sites Monday through Thursday is currently suspended. For now, all Accenture business travel, international and domestic, is currently restricted to client-essential sales/delivery activity only. Please note: The safety and well-being of our people continues to be the top priority, and our decisions around travel are informed by government COVID-19 response directives, recommendations from leading health authorities and guidance from a number of infectious disease experts
