In Consulting, we combine data-driven insights with expertise and experience to connect the end-to-end capabilities needed to drive change. Our consultants co-create and iterate with colleagues and clients in our Innovation Centres, Labs and Design Studios to reimagine and reshape industries and markets.

Working in Consulting, you will gain unrivalled exposure working with more than three-quarters of the Fortune Global 500 across 40+ industries in 120+ countries across one of two areas. In Management Consulting, you will advise, design, and implement transformational solutions in our specialist functional and industry areas. And in Technology Consulting, you will implement and integrate technology solutions, focusing on platform and systems development and technology advisory.

Whether this is your first job after university or you have a little experience, there’s space to grow. Our breadth and depth of expertise across industries means you can easily explore and develop your skills and interests. At Accenture, anything is possible.

Life as a Consulting Analyst

As a Consulting Analyst, you’ll be helping to create solutions for our clients’ biggest challenges. You will build relationships at the heart of our clients’ organisations, helping them to address their most significant business issues, and will provide management support to improve business processes. You will be engaged in a variety of project roles and tasks as an Analyst, which could include developing change management plans, overseeing IT implementation projects, or creating customer journeys.

Whatever you’re doing today, it could be different tomorrow, as you’ll move between projects of varying durations in a range of industries. Regardless of what you’re working on, you’ll be constantly collecting and analysing data to understand our clients’ organisations, and then presenting it in easily digestible forms to deliver high-impact data-driven business insights.

What we’re looking for

We look for outstanding performers, with an open and collaborative mindset. You’ll need well-rounded capabilities with a proactive, driven and self-empowering approach. Change is the only constant in our line of work, so you’ll need to be flexible, agile, resilient, and able to work with ambiguity and constantly changing demands. A dedicated teammate, you’ll have strong communication, project management and problem-solving skills, and you’ll be confident presenting to an audience and interacting with senior stakeholders.

You’ll need to have a growth mindset to become a good consultant, and above all, you’ll need to be naturally curious about business and technology. We’re looking for you to demonstrate your passion for technology in either your studies, work experience or extracurricular activities. Experience using PowerPoint and Excel at an intermediate or advanced level are a big bonus, as is an ability to analyse data using statistical methods to find insights and patterns. We’re also interested to see how you have used Generative AI in a responsible way to improve a process, increase productivity, or support your work.

To join our graduate programme, you’ll need to have achieved a bachelor’s degree from an accredited UK university, or international equivalent, by the time you join us. In Consulting, we accept applications from all degree disciplines and are keen to discover how your studies have helped you develop the skills we are looking for. We value strong academic performance, but do not have minimum grade requirements for our programmes. We also accept applications from holders of higher degrees.

Where you'll work

Accenture is a people-first business which thrives on strong relationships with our clients and colleagues. We come together to collaborate and share knowledge at least three times per week, either at our clients’ offices or at one of our own offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Manchester or Newcastle.
