We are part of Accenture’s Supply Chain & Operations practice, helping Fortune 500 and private-equity-backed clients reinvent how they plan and run their supply chains. Our work sits at the intersection of functional consulting, data, digital platforms, and advanced analytics, with increasing focus on GenAI- and Agentic-enabled planning.
The Supply Chain Manager serves as a strategic advisor to utility-sector clients, leading the design, optimization, and transformation of supply chain operations across generation, transmission, distribution, and customer service functions. This role blends deep industry knowledge with advanced digital capabilities, leveraging AI, machine learning, and emerging agentic technologies to improve resilience, operational efficiency, and decision intelligence.
The Manager role partners with client executives to assess supply chain maturity, identify performance gaps, and architect data-driven solutions spanning procurement, logistics, inventory management, field services, asset management, and supplier ecosystems. They guide clients in adopting next-generation capabilities—including autonomous planning agents, predictive analytics, intelligent sourcing platforms, and digital twins—to enhance forecasting accuracy, reduce cost‑to‑serve, and strengthen risk management in an increasingly volatile energy environment.
This role leads multidisciplinary teams to deliver end‑to‑end consulting engagements, from strategy and business case development through solution design, implementation, and change enablement. The Manager also plays a key role in shaping thought leadership, building reusable assets, and developing innovative AI/agentic tools that accelerate value for utility clients navigating grid modernization, decarbonization, and regulatory pressures.
As a Manager, you will lead transformation initiatives, working directly with Utilities clients and senior Accenture stakeholders. You will shape strategy, design future-state capabilities, and oversee implementation across people, process, data, and technology.
