Hello - I've came about that job description on the Accenture recruiting homepage. I'm not quite satisfied with the job description though. Is this just a back office position or front office as well?

Hi there,

Based on the description, it looks very much to be back-office. Looks like it's call/operations center process management/improvement. Very much operational and not strategy consulting (if that's what you're looking for).

Super important: If you don't understand what the job actually entails, don't take it! You need to speak with HR and other people on the team to really understand the job. If they invite you to interview, remember that it's not just them interviewing you, but you interviewing them!

Asking smart, direct questions to the company/team itself is going to get you a lot more clarity than us interpreting a job description :)

Hi,

They've recently started hiring for the M&A team so I guess you are talking about it.

Thus, you'll be doing the company valuation and any ops related to transactions

A bit difficult to judge just based on the title. Wouldn't the actual description provide more inisghts. Also: just googling for the position will show multiple glassdoor reviews, etc. that would be a good place to start looking for more information.

Hi,

from the title, it seems a Back office role, but if you have a detailed job description we can better help you on that

Hi,

Better clarify to the firm regarding the position. However, at a glance it seems like a deals / M&A role.

Best,
