Role overview

As a Senior Manager — Sales (Energy), you will drive origination and closure of consulting and transformation deals across India’s Oil & Gas and broader energy clients. This is a sales-focused role: you will own the pipeline, shape compelling value propositions, orchestrate multidisciplinary pursuit teams, and convert relationships into signed, profitable engagements. You will pair commercial acumen with enough energy-sector fluency to speak credibly to client executives, and you will work hand-in-glove with delivery leaders to ensure what we sell, we can deliver.

Key responsibilities

Origination & pipeline

• Build, qualify and manage a healthy pipeline of opportunities across energy clients; own a sales / new-bookings target.
• Identify white space and originate new demand — map client priorities to Accenture’s offerings across strategy, digital, AI, operations and sustainability.
• Develop and nurture senior buyer relationships, including procurement, business and technology stakeholders.

Pursuit & deal leadership

• Lead complex pursuits end-to-end — qualification, win strategy, value proposition, solutioning with delivery teams, proposal and orals, commercial structuring and negotiation.
• Orchestrate cross-practice and alliance (cloud, AI, technology) teams to assemble winning, differentiated solutions.
• Drive deal commercials — pricing, deal shape, risk and margin — in partnership with finance and legal; steward deals through internal approvals.

Account growth & market presence

• Partner with client account leads to grow strategic energy accounts and improve win rates and deal velocity.
• Represent Accenture in the market — industry forums, client events and executive briefings — to build pipeline and brand visibility.
• Maintain disciplined sales hygiene — accurate forecasting, CRM management and reporting.

Good-to-have skills

• Existing network of senior relationships across India’s Oil & Gas and energy enterprises.
• Familiarity with consulting / systems-integration commercial models and large-deal pursuit processes.
• Awareness of digital, AI and sustainability themes shaping the energy sector and how they translate into client value.
• Experience working with alliance partners (hyperscalers, technology vendors) to co-create solutions.

What’s in it for you

• An unmatched client portfolio: work shoulder-to-shoulder with the leadership teams of India’s largest energy and chemical enterprises on their most strategic priorities.
• Scale and depth: access to Accenture’s global assets, industry IP, alliance ecosystem (cloud, AI, engineering) and a community of energy specialists worldwide.
• Accelerated growth: structured career progression, world-class learning, sponsored certifications and mentorship from senior industry leaders.
• Reinvention at the core: the chance to shape the energy transition, digital and Gen AI agenda for the sector, not just advise on it.
