Talent Strategy Senior Manager - Utilities

About the role

Archer is collaborating with Accenture to connect exceptional professionals with Accenture's Talent and Organization practice. The practice helps clients reinvent how work gets done in an AI-enabled world through workforce reinvention, AI-enabled operating models, role redesign, skills for the machine age, and driving change at enterprise scale.

You are a workforce reinvention strategist who balances thinking and doing. You understand that companies need to change by connecting business and talent strategies at a global scale. You seek to understand client workforces and help them reinvent how work gets done—moving from analysis to action, from insight to implementation.

Your experience makes you a leader people look to for advice, and your people and storytelling skills help clients understand their choices. You have proven experience designing and leading teams to solve complex workforce reinvention challenges and driving on-the-ground change, not just analyzing it.
