Technology Strategist at Accenture

Job Description

• Shape the Future of Technology Leadership in the Age of AI
• Location: Johannesburg, with opportunities to work across Africa and EMEA
• Experience: 3–10 years, with strategy consulting backgrounds highly valued
• At Accenture Technology Strategy & Advisory, we partner with the Technology Executives of South Africa’s leading organizations to help them harness innovation for sustained value, reinvent operating models, and unlock growth through technology. Technology has shifted from a business enabler to the core driver of competitive advantage. From technology business management, cloud native composable AI-first architectures, AI/Human hybrid workforces, and total enterprise reinvention, we help our clients navigate the exponential complexity and volatility to deliver measurable business value.

We are seeking exceptional consultants and leaders who combine strategic excellence with deep technology and business fluency to advise CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and CAIOs of the continent’s leading enterprises.

Why this role matters

• A role in TS&A gives you an accelerated immersion to the future of consulting that blends pragmatic business acumen with deep digital expertise
• It equips you with an end-to-end understanding of Total Enterprise Reinvention – a holistic and continuous transformation that reimagines strategy, experience, operating models, value creation, and technology foundations of organisations for them to thrive in a world of constant disruption.
• You’ll operate at the intersection of strategy and technology, helping the C-suite navigate an increasingly non-linear and uncertain business landscape where agility, resilience, and innovation are critical.

What you’ll do

• Advise our clients’ technology leaders and help them deliver technology assessments and tech driven business value cases, technology business management and value optimisation, enterprise architecture programmes and as-a-service models, operating model transformations, and technology strategies.
• Shape and deliver large-scale technology-enabled business transformations, working across industries, or focusing on financial services, consumer goods, retail, resources, or telecoms/technology.
• Work in multi-disciplinary teams, collaborating with global experts, leveraging Accenture’s innovation ecosystem, and partnering with hyperscalers and other leading tech companies for sustained client success.
• Drive thought leadership and contribute to market-shaping insights on the future of technology strategy.
• Grow and cultivate South Africa’s future technology leaders in your engagements and through deliberate mentoring and counselling of our junior colleagues.

What’s in it for you

• Exposure to C‑suite clients shaping the digital agendas of South Africa’s leading companies.
• A platform to accelerate your business and/or technology career in one of the most highly demanded consulting disciplines.
• Opportunity to work on truly transformational projects that reposition your clients as reinventors, the technology powered and AI augmented leaders of their industries.
