Accenture’s Supply Chain & Engineering (SC&E) practice is transforming how energy companies design, source, and manage the transportation networks that move products across their value chains.

From integrated oil majors and independent refiners to chemical producers, midstream operators, and commodity traders, our clients rely on complex multi-modal transportation networks (ocean, truck, and rail) and a web of third-party providers including ocean carriers, port operators, terminal managers, freight forwarders, and 3PLs. Getting that network right is a strategic decision with hundreds of millions of dollars in freight spend at stake, and the wrong choices compound across every cargo, every lane, and every contract.

Our Energy clients are looking for senior advisors who understand transportation not just as a cost line but as a strategic capability, one that can be designed, sourced, managed, and continuously optimized to deliver competitive advantage. We help clients build transportation strategies, rationalize carrier and 3PL portfolios, redesign logistics networks, and implement the operating models and technologies that make those strategies real.

If you are passionate about transportation strategy, provider management, and helping the world’s largest energy companies build logistics capabilities that match their commercial ambitions, we’d like to meet you.

The Work

As an Energy Transportation & Logistics Strategy Senior Manager, you will:

Industry & Client Leadership

• Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to energy clients across upstream, midstream, downstream, chemicals, and commodity trading on transportation network strategy, third-party provider management, and logistics operating model design

• Help clients define and execute transportation strategies across ocean freight, truck, rail, and intermodal, including make-vs-buy decisions, modal mix optimization, carrier portfolio design, and logistics network restructuring

• Translate complex transportation challenges (freight cost volatility, carrier capacity constraints, port congestion, 3PL performance failures, and contract misalignment) into clear strategic options with quantified business cases

• Lead executive workshops, transportation network assessments, provider strategy reviews, and business case development with VP-level and C-suite stakeholders across Supply Chain, Logistics, Commercial, Operations, and Procurement

Transportation Strategy & Network Design

• Lead transportation network design engagements: modal analysis, lane-level cost modeling, origin-to-destination optimization across ocean, rail, truck, and intermodal, and strategic network restructuring recommendations

• Develop carrier portfolio strategies that balance cost, capacity, reliability, and risk across ocean carriers, Class I and short-line rail, over-the-road trucking, heavy haul and specialized carriers, and intermodal service providers

• Advise clients on port and terminal strategy: port selection, berth access and allocation, terminal operator relationships, dwell time reduction, and port congestion mitigation

• Design freight sourcing strategies and support RFP development, carrier evaluation, contract negotiation, and rate benchmarking across all transportation modes

• Build freight spend analytics frameworks and transportation benchmarks that give clients visibility into where they are overpaying, underperforming, or exposed

Third-Party Provider Strategy & Management

• Design provider management operating models that define roles, responsibilities, performance metrics, escalation paths, and contract structures across the full provider ecosystem

• Lead 3PL and carrier performance transformation programs: diagnostics, root cause analysis, improvement roadmaps, and governance redesign to convert underperforming provider relationships into competitive advantages

• Advise on transportation contract strategy: structure, duration, flexibility provisions, performance incentives, volume commitments, and risk-sharing mechanisms across ocean, rail, and truck contracts

• Support provider selection processes for major transportation and logistics outsourcing decisions, including RFP design, proposal evaluation, and commercial negotiation support

Delivery & Team Leadership
