We embed innovation, intelligence, and AI-native operations into the way the world designs, engineers, manufactures, and distributes products. We serve Life Sciences clients across the value chain to help bring lifesaving medicines and products to patients through harnessing the power of advanced technologies. The Work: Accenture is seeking a Senior Consultant or Manager to lead compliance-driven fulfillment transformation within our Supply Chain & Engineering practice for Life Sciences. We work with pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and specialty distributor clients globally to navigate an era of unprecedented regulatory pressure and global trade volatility — combining deep domain expertise with AI-enabled technology to modernize how life sciences products move through the supply chain.  The role is responsible for delivering large-scale Life Sciences Fulfillment and Global Trade programs — spanning product traceability and distribution compliance, GDP-aligned operations, import/export management, and cold chain logistics — while building Accenture’s differentiated Fulfillment capability.

At a Senior Consultant / Manager level, key responsibilities could include: Lead delivery of product traceability and distribution compliance programs, helping clients design and implement the processes, governance, and technology architectures needed to meet evolving regulatory obligations across pharmaceutical and medical device supply chains.

Design and implement cold chain distribution networks and temperature-controlled logistics strategies, including carrier qualification, deviation management, and continuous monitoring technology integration applicable to both pharma and medical device products. Lead import/export compliance workstreams across FDA, CBP, and cross-border documentation requirements — managing trade lane risk, tariff exposure, and regulatory alignment across APAC and LATAM corridors for both drug and device product categories. Lead client programs associated with warehouse management system transformation — overseeing design, implementation, and optimization across platforms including SAP EWM, Manhattan Active WMS, Blue Yonder, and others — with a focus on GxP-regulated life sciences distribution environments. Translate complex regulatory requirements — GDP, GxP quality system standards, and applicable distribution compliance frameworks — into technology and process architectures that are both compliant and operationally intelligent. Apply data and AI capabilities to supply chain visibility, traceability exception management, and global trade analytics — helping clients move from reactive compliance to proactive, insight-driven operations. Support sales origination and business development by building client relationships, contributing to proposals, and shaping go-to-market offerings across Life Sciences Fulfillment and Global Trade. Coach and develop junior team members, building practice capability and contributing reusable delivery assets. Travel - candidates must be willing to travel up to 75% to client locations.
