Management Consulting Graduate Programme

If you’re ready to kick-start your career as a Consultant, this is the platform on which to start. Make no mistake: it is a challenge. Expect early responsibility that will push you out of your comfort zone. However, you can always be sure of plenty of support as well as a robust training structure to ensure you’re up-to-speed on everything that you need to know.

To join our management consulting Graduate Programme, you’ll need to have or be predicted to receive a 65% average in any degree discipline. We currently have opportunities for people to join us in January 2014. If you have already graduated, and want to start your graduate career, apply now.

What will I be doing?

We’ve developed a single entry route into Consulting at Accenture that will provide you with all the skills and knowledge you need to succeed, whilst giving you a breadth of exposure and experience across the business.

Management Consulting is focused on helping clients address their business issues and exploit market opportunities. Like any successful solution, this isn’t simply about having great insights and ideas; the secret is putting them into practice.

If you join Management Consulting, the work you do will be varied; and inclusive of advising financial services organisations on how to manage risk; rolling out smart grid technology or transforming a supply chain process to meet the changing needs of consumers today. Or looking at how major businesses should manage their talent or improve their operations.

Role of an analyst

Here at Accenture, we have a unique capability to turn theory into action, to make innovation an everyday reality. We do not simply make recommendations – we drive outcomes for our clients. Your training will help you to develop the all-round skills to be a success, but it will be your experience that will really be the making of you. Working with leading organisations across various industries, you could be involved in issues and projects that are fundamental to the way businesses operate and succeed.

You will be operating in teams made up of experts and professionals from different areas of the business, with specialist skills and industry insights, in business, technology or operations. This is an exceptional opportunity to draw on their experience, to challenge yourself and to develop literally every day. Very quickly you will gain a clear picture of what it takes to succeed here, and very soon you will be helping to make things happen for clients.

There’s no limit to what you can get involved with as part of the Analyst Consulting Group – or where you could be doing it. You’ll need to be fully mobile as you’ll work on client projects that could be anywhere in the country – or even the world – though you will be aligned to a base at our main office in Johannesburg. Ultimately, an open mind to take advantage of all of the opportunities on offer is essential.

Our Management Consulting practice is looking for people who are able to challenge conventional thought, offer unique perspectives and conceive innovative and profitable solutions for our clients. We look for high quality people who bring outstanding intellectual content to everything we do, and who have the potential to develop into business leaders, credible in the boardrooms of some of the world’s biggest companies.

We look for graduates in their final year of study, in possession of a strong academic record with degrees in the following disciplines:

Finance/ Economics/ Supply Chain/ Marketing/ Organisational Psychology/ Management/ Strategy/ Engineering/Statistics

If you join Accenture you can make great ideas happen for some of the world’s most dynamic companies. With broad global resources and deep technical know-how, we collaborate with clients to cultivate ideas and deliver results. Choose a career at Accenture and enjoy an innovative environment where challenging and interesting work is part of daily life.

Job Description
Consulting professionals at Accenture belong to one of three workgroups: Management Consulting, Systems Integration Consulting or Technology Consulting. These workgroups enable us to deliver the increasingly specialized skills that clients demand while providing our people with varied career opportunities.

Our management consultants have the opportunity to work and collaborate with colleagues from across the full spectrum of consulting activity: identifying and creatively solving complex problems, designing and re-engineering critical processes, and fundamentally transforming the way a company operates. Our management consultants are more than just theorists – they turn theory into action. Acting as trusted advisors to our clients, they work directly with FORTUNE© Global 500 companies across many different industry sectors. They concentrate on getting a holistic view of a client’s business and industry environment and use their expertise and critical thinking skills to design and deliver realistic, achievable business strategies and solutions that address key client priorities.

Much of the work we do is at the cutting edge of innovation and thinking. We involve our consultants in publishing and sharing this knowledge as thought leadership to benefit clients, industry and fellow colleagues.

Management Consulting Cross Functional professionals are individuals who have skills which cross management consulting functional areas.

As a Management Consulting Analyst, you will be at the core of understanding and responding to our clients’ business challenges. You are likely to be involved in a range of activities from assessing a client’s business capabilities to assisting with business transformation activities.

Responsibilities include:

• Conducting industry and client research and analysis to identify opportunities for improvements
• Gathering and documenting client’s current business processes, people and technology capabilities and requirements.
• Performing financial assessments to support the development of new business processes and architecture.
• Assisting in the design and development of new business processes, capabilities and supporting technologies.
• Supporting the testing and implementation of new business processes.
• Developing communications, training and job aids to assist in change management activities.
