Consulting career meets workplace flexibility

When you’re collaborating in the New with some of the world’s most exciting organizations, no two days are alike.
As a Senior Manager in our Products, Talent and Organization group, I work with the world’s largest retail and beauty companies. I help them create meaningful customer experiences, giving them the edge to thrive into the future.
Balancing a successful consulting career with a busy family life can sometimes seem overwhelming, but Accenture’s flexible, supportive work culture helps me manage it all.
Working in the New
My commute depends on which office I’m going into. When I work from our Soho office in New York, I can drop my daughter off at day care and walk to work.
Our Soho office is home to one of our Innovation Hubs, where we apply the latest technologies to bring the future to life. Innovation Hubs are equipped with hyper-collaborative workspaces and the latest tech, like digital whiteboards.
We even have a robot “pet” named Now in the New York Innovation Hub. He walks around and listens to commands, and sometimes he even dances for us!
Flexibility matters
Some days, I work from my home office. I love that Accenture gives me the opportunity to work remotely when I need to. With our online tools, I can stay connected to my team, get my work done, and take care of my daughter.
Our flexible work environment is great for parents, but it’s important for everyone. I tell my team: if they need some flexibility for something going on in their personal lives, communicate with me so that we can find a way to provide that.
Strong relationships
We pride ourselves on our “truly human” culture at Accenture. We’re encouraged to bring our whole selves to work and take the time to build relationships and really get to know each other.
My colleagues and I do team-building activities, like taking cycling classes or going on a food tour around the city. It’s great to get to know each other outside of work.
Bring your whole self to work, wherever you’re working today. Find your fit with the Accenture team.
