Use advanced analytics, machine learning and predictive modelling to interpret market signals and forecast trends, and combine them with data-science-led approaches to investment, trading and other quantitative decisions.
Lead, coach and develop a team of consultants and analysts, setting direction, giving regular feedback and fostering an inclusive environment of continuous learning and innovation.
Build long-term relationships with client stakeholders, staying attuned to their needs and style, and sustaining Accenture's position as a trusted advisor.
Identify and originate follow-on opportunities; lead proposal development and shape solutions with Partners, supported by industry and company research.
Contribute to ACM UK, global ACM and the wider CEO Advisory community, including offerings, assets and thought leadership that bring fresh, challenging ideas to clients.

Requirements
