Senior Contracting Counsel Senior Manager

If you are looking for a role with substance and variety in a dynamic environment at the heart of complex technology deals, this opportunity is worth exploring.

You will take centre stage in deal-making—leading, shaping and closing high-impact technology transactions across outsourcing, SaaS, cloud, automation, blockchain security, systems integration and agile development.

Your judgement will influence senior leaders as you turn complex legal risks and market developments into clear, commercially focused advice.

You will strengthen the team by guiding and developing junior legal professionals on complex transactions.

As a trusted advisor to Legal, Business and Sales leadership, you will help shape and execute Accenture’s market-facing strategy.

You will join the Amsterdam based Dutch legal contracting team of 8 experienced legal professionals, part of a broader regional legal contracting team together with the Nordics containing of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The team is known for its team spirit and for being genuinely collaborative – the kind of place where people help each other and being available to check your thinking. Different cultures but the same instinct: getting things done together.

• Master in Dutch law

• 10+ years relevant experience in commercial contracting in information technology, consulting, GenAI, digital, software, outsourcing or telecoms – in-house or law firm

• Fluent Dutch and English

• Experience in data privacy and intellectual property, as well as in Dutch public procurement

Beyond the credentials: you negotiate with conviction, not just caution. You are equally adept in the boardroom and reviewing contracts. You know when to hold firm, when to find another way — and you have the curiosity to understand the technology behind the contracts you shape. You have proven ability to efficiently manage a large volume of transaction independently. You have experience negotiating and drafting technology-based agreements. And you have excellent oral and written communication skills.

At Accenture, you’ll work for a global company with a strong brand and a reputation for excellence. Our people are Change Makers, and we support them through six key promises:

• Work flexibly in a culture built on trust
• Embrace a sustainable growth mindset
• Thrive in a human-led, inclusive, and diverse environment
• Lead and transform clients through innovation and technology
• Connect with a global network of over 700,000 colleagues
• Enjoy long-term career growth and development opportunities
