Application Close Date: 2027-01-02T19:00:26.967

This role is with our Partners in Performance team, part of Accenture. Partners in Performance, part of Accenture, is a global management consulting firm focused on human performance working alongside client partners to make change happen. We have offices in Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia, Africa, North and South America, and Europe, but prefer to spend as little time in them as possible. Instead, we work alongside our clients to unleash their potential and deliver lasting impact that is rarely achieved by sitting in a boardroom.

The Associate role is a frontline change agent for our clients. You are the primary source of reliable data and solid analysis, providing the fact base the improvement team uses to make decisions in real time.

Responsibilities include

• You coach client analysts and line managers, sharing your skills and building relationships across the client site, using your network to ensure improvement plans are firmly based on the real-world clients operate in.


• Your key responsibility is to provide rigour and accuracy to the improvement effort.


• As the chief source of insight based on the data you work with, you facilitate the prioritisation of improvement opportunities, and use root cause analysis to help resolve day-to-day issues with implementation.


• You directly support client Idea owners, providing technical and analytical support to ensure improvement ideas are successful.


• You recognise when ideas are under or over-performing relative to expectations and you're the primary source for validating the benefit stream generated by these ideas.


• You draw on and develop your leadership skills to help build the client organisation's "wiring", ensuring the improvement effort is sustained by a culture of continuous improvement. This helps to embed our methodology as part of the way your client does business, long after the engagement concludes.

What you will need to become a member of the Partners in Performance consulting team:

• Undergraduate degree from a top-tier university, preferably with a quantitative focus, with excellent results (distinction average)


• Excellent problem-solving skills, including analytics


• Demonstrated passion for results


• Must be fluent in English


• Excellent communication skills, including response clarity under pressure and ability to use visual tools independently to communicate insights


• Above average knowledge of PowerPoint and Excel


• Based on business requirements, candidates applying for this role can also be assessed for other opportunities within Accenture.
