Manager — Public Service, Industry & Enterprise

We Are: We are Accenture’s Public Service team, helping government organizations reinvent how programs are designed, delivered, and experienced by the people they serve. In Canada’s public sector, that means working alongside clients to modernize operations, improve service outcomes, strengthen workforce and citizen experiences, and navigate complex policy, regulatory, funding, and stakeholder environments. Through Industry & Enterprise and our Industry & Process capabilities, we bring deep industry knowledge, enterprise-wide transformation experience, AI-enabled reinvention methods, and practical process expertise to help public service organizations move from strategy to measurable outcomes. Together, we help government work better for Canadians—responsibly, sustainably, and with confidence in a future of continuous change. You Are: If you love solving challenges and not just studying them and take pride in building the teams and client relationships that make transformation possible, then Accenture Consulting is the right place for you. Join us to translate big ideas into practical delivery plans, and to lead the teams that turn those plans into outcomes for citizens and public service employees. You are a trusted workstream lead who bridges analytical depth with growing client instinct. You are as comfortable managing a Director General relationship as you are coaching a junior team member through a difficult deliverable.
