Client Account Lead Associate Director

Accenture Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Client Account Lead Associate Director
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Client Leadership & Relationship Management

▸ Serve as the senior relationship owner for strategic resources clients, with individual multi-million account revenues

▸ Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships at CxO, VP, and SVP level - particularly within operations, digital, and sustainability leadership functions

▸ Develop and execute long-term account strategies aligned with client transformation agendas, including energy transition, asset optimization, and digital operations

▸ Navigate complex stakeholder environments across client organizations, government entities, and joint venture structures common in MEA energy markets

Revenue Growth & Commercial Management

▸ Own the account P&L - forecast, pipeline, revenue recognition, and margin management across all service lines within the account

▸ Originate and close new work through proactive opportunity identification, solution shaping, and senior-level commercial negotiation

▸ Lead pursuits end-to-end: from client opportunity qualification through to proposal, orals, and contract execution

▸ Collaborate with Accenture's industry, technology, and functional practices (Strategy & Consulting, Song, Technology, Operations) to assemble differentiated solutions

Delivery Oversight & Quality

▸ Maintain executive accountability for all active engagements within the account - ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery with measurable client outcomes

▸ Act as escalation point for delivery risk, resourcing challenges, and client satisfaction issues across the portfolio

▸ Champion responsible business practices: sustainability, ethical AI, and ESG commitments embedded into client delivery

Market & Thought Leadership

▸ Represent Accenture at industry forums, client events, and government roundtables across the MEA resources sector

▸ Contribute to Accenture's point of view on energy transition, industrial digitization, and resources sector reinvention

▸ Mentor and develop junior talent within the account and broader Resources practice

Experience & Background

▸ 12-16 years of professional experience, with a significant portion in management consulting, professional services, or industry leadership within energy, utilities, chemicals, or natural resources

▸ Demonstrated track record of owning and growing large, complex client relationships at senior level - not just supporting them

▸ Prior experience operating in MEA markets strongly preferred; deep understanding of the KSA energy landscape, national oil companies, utilities reform, industry priorities is a significant advantage

▸ Proven ability to originate and close large engagements independently, including navigating government procurement, framework agreements, and joint venture client structures

Capabilities

▸ Executive presence and communication - able to command the room with clients, internally, and externally

▸ Strategic commercial acumen - you understand how to build a business case, price a deal, and structure value-sharing arrangements

▸ Cross-practice orchestration - comfortable pulling together capabilities from technology, operations, and strategy practices into a coherent client offer

▸ Sector fluency - conversant in the strategic, operational, and regulatory issues facing resources companies today: energy transition, asset digitalization, workforce transformation, and supply chain resilience
