Operating Model and Organisation Design Strategy Manager

Do you want to shape the organisations of tomorrow? Are you passionate about organisational development? Are you willing to advise the boards of national and international companies and initiate and deliver holistic reorganisations?

Interested?

Then join us to rethink companies and their organisational structures and actively shape transformations from large global corporations to disruptive start-ups.

Your Mission:

As an Operating Model and Organisation Design Strategy Manager, you will work at C-level and advise our clients on how to transform their businesses. You will use your experience from previous transformation projects to help with far-reaching issues with a long-term perspective while guiding the project team with context and examples. To do this, you will be active along our 4 central areas:

Design enterprise operating models:

Often triggered by a new business strategy or model, it involves the realignment of individual business units or the entire operating model. In doing so, we advise clients on the critical capabilities of the future organisation, the new role of the group of companies, the required leadership structure, as well as how individual business units can be integrated with each other.

Optimize and innovate operating models:

How can you reduce complexity in companies, reduce redundancies in teams and activities, and make processes more efficient? Together, we advise clients on how to increase their organisational effectiveness, what role data and analytics play in this, and how they can achieve the desired performance through quantitative benchmarks.

Design Functions and Shared Services:

We design functional operating models in close cooperation with the board of directors and head of functions. Often, it is a matter of adapting the functions to new growth or cost programs or linking them more closely to the overall strategy. Here, too, we define the required capabilities, the service delivery models, and deal in depth with process and governance issues. In addition, we advise clients on how to set up or develop their shared service organisations to increase their competitiveness and at the same time drive digitalization and standardization.

Activate operating models:

In addition to conceptual design, you will also accompany the implementation of new operating models together as a team and advise our customers on the central questions of implementation: How and when should a comprehensive transformation be communicated and what role does leadership play in this? How can the progress and success of the implementation be measured and what training measures are required for employees?

What to expect:

• An international team: As part of Accenture Strategy, you'll be part of a European team of international experts from all industries and functions.
• Different industries: Our methodical focus allows you to gain experience in different industries - from car manufacturers and energy producers to technology start-ups; everything is represented.
• Mentoring: You will take responsibility for the next generation of consultants and mentor junior colleagues.

What’s in it for you:

• Individual working time model with flexible working hours
• Hybrid working – on-site, at an Accenture location, or at home
• Extensive offers for further education and training
• Attractive opportunities for advancement
• A work culture that promotes diversity and inclusion

Location:
Your home office will be in London. This role is client-facing and may therefore involve travel, working in other parts of the UK as well as overseas depending on the needs of the project. Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role to deliver the first-class services we are known for.
