Consultant — Public Service, Industry & Enterprise

Job description

We Are: We are Accenture’s Public Service team, helping government organizations reinvent how programs are designed, delivered, and experienced by the people they serve. In Canada’s public sector, that means working alongside clients to modernize operations, improve service outcomes, strengthen workforce and citizen experiences, and navigate complex policy, regulatory, funding, and stakeholder environments. Through Industry & Enterprise and our Industry & Process capabilities, we bring deep industry knowledge, enterprise-wide transformation experience, AI-enabled reinvention methods, and practical process expertise to help public service organizations move from strategy to measurable outcomes. Together, we help government work better for Canadians—responsibly, sustainably, and with confidence in a future of continuous change. You Are: If you love solving challenges and not just studying them and take pride in having an impact on how our clients deliver their mandates, then Accenture Consulting is the right place for you. Join us to develop your ideas into provocative points of view and transformative insights that help shape programs and services—and the experiences of citizens and public service employees. You have a desire to evolve your knowledge of government operations and unafraid to bring bold ideas into complex, risk-aware environments.

Build trusted client relationships across working-level, executive, business, policy, and technology stakeholders, helping navigate complex mandates, sensitivities, and alignment challenges. Identify and translate AI and digital opportunities into practical, responsible, and policy-compliant use cases that improve service delivery, operational performance, and client outcomes. Collaborate with cross-functional Accenture teams and client partners to design and implement human-centred, AI-enabled, and digitally enabled solutions. Manage workstreams and deliverables with discipline, maintaining quality standards, plans, risks, decisions, and action trackers across complex engagements. Support team members while contributing reusable methods, insights, lessons learned, proposals, client presentations, and practice assets. Here’s What You'll Need: 2+ years of experience in management consulting, government operations, or public service transformation—with at least one year of direct client engagement and ease interacting with client managers and program level staff. Demonstrated experience facilitating workshops, co-design sessions, or working groups with cross-functional government stakeholders. Experience conducting current-state process analysis and contributing to future-state operating model design. Ability to guide small teams of analysts.
