Who we are

Partners in Performance, part of Accenture, is a global management consulting firm with offices in Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia, Africa, Europe and North & South America.

We work on the frontline alongside client teams to unleash their potential and deliver lasting impact that can rarely be achieved from the boardroom.

Performance Strategy Consulting at Partners in Performance

As part of the Performance Strategy Consulting team, you will be working in teams to solve complex problems, drive meaningful change, and help industries and organisations overcome their biggest challenges. You will help influence decisions at the highest levels as well as improve performance at the frontline. Our working style is about testing, learning, and adapting to drive continual improvements wherever we go. We’re a collaborative team that supports, challenges, mentors, and learns from one another. We believe in providing our people with experiences and development opportunities that stretch and push them beyond what they thought was possible.

The Associate role is a frontline change agent for our clients. You are the primary source of reliable data and rock-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”, to ensure the improvement effort is sustained by a culture of continuous improvement; by doing this, you ensure that our methodology becomes part of the way your client does business, long after the engagement is finished.

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

• Undergraduate degree from a top-tier university, with excellent results (distinction average).
• Excellent problem-solving skills, including analytics.
• Demonstrated passion for results.
• Must be fluent in English.
• Excellent communication skills, including ability to respond clearly to hard questions under pressure, and to use visual tools without assistance to assist in communicating insights.
• Above average knowledge of PowerPoint and Excel.

Candidates will be assessed for the role they applied for. Based on their skills and experience, they may also be considered for other relevant opportunities within Accenture.
