You’ll shape the go-to-market strategy for Midstream/LNG offerings and act as a trusted advisor to senior executives navigating volatility, decarbonization, and infrastructure evolution.

Working closely with internal account teams and ecosystem partners, you will originate and co-create complex, tech-enabled strategies that unlock sustainable growth. You’ll also lead large-scale consulting programs from vision through execution, overseeing teams of high-performing consultants and SMEs while fostering innovation and building Accenture’s brand in the LNG/Midstream sector.

• Serve as the senior client-facing leader on high-impact consulting engagements focused on asset infrastructure, supply chain resiliency, digital capabilities, carbon reduction, and decarbonization pathways in LNG.

• Drive pipeline development and lead proposal efforts, working in close collaboration with industry account leadership, innovation hubs, and global delivery teams.

• Cultivate senior client relationships (SVP, EVP, C-suite), driving influence across commercial, operational, and technology decision-makers.

• Mentor and develop the next generation of consulting talent in the energy practice, fostering a culture of thought leadership, continuous learning, and delivery excellence.

Here's what you need:

• Minimum of 7 years of experience in the Energy industry, with a deep focus on Midstream and LNG including commercial operations, capital projects, digital strategy, and decarbonization.

• Demonstrated experience advising or working with C-suite or executive leadership at energy companies on strategic, operational, or digital transformation initiatives.

• Proven track record of leading end-to-end consulting engagements or internal strategy teams with tangible client or business outcomes.

• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (MBA, MS in Engineering, Energy, or related field) preferred.

Bonus Points:

• Background in consulting, strategic planning, corporate development, or energy operations.

• Understanding of digital platforms and emerging technologies relevant to the midstream sector (e.g., digital twins, asset performance management, AI/ML applications, emissions tracking).

• Familiarity with global LNG markets, trading dynamics, or terminal development/operations.

• Experience in originating or closing large strategic engagements, with revenue accountability.

• Willingness to travel as needed based on client and project requirements.
