Strategic Finance Senior Consultant for Deloitte New-venture Accelerator Team

 

The Team

 

Deloitte New-venture Accelerator (DNA) has been established by Deloitte, LLP to drive the development and scaling of Hybrid businesses at Deloitte across the core Functions (business units) of Consulting, Advisory, Tax and Audit.  Hybrids are solutions that combine Deloitte’s traditional services with IP-based products or content to create increased customer value.  DNA is an internal accelerator that brings expertise in the creation, acquisition and growth acceleration of these businesses.  DNA works alongside the Functions to identify and develop Hybrid opportunities and to develop people and process capabilities across the Functions and Enabling Areas to deliver against this strategy.

 

The Role/ Work You’ll Do

 

The Planning & Performance (P&P) team within DNA is seeking to hire a Senior Consultant role. The P&P team is the strategic and operational finance arm of DNA and leverages a deep understanding of hybrid economics and finance operating experience to:

The Senior Consultant will work closely with the broader DNA team, other Firm-wide functions such as Innovation and Corporate Development, and business partners within Hybrid businesses across Deloitte.
