I’m an analyst in ACN management consulting looking to change firms.
Will more strategic-focused consulting companies think less of my background because of our rep of doing tech delivery work?

Depends more on your personal experience... ACN is a massive company and any decent hiring team isn’t going to make broad generalizations but get to know the individual

If so, how can I make up for this? Most of my project experience has been in process improvement and analytics, but I’m worried other hiring managers won’t look past the company name on the resume

Do you have an alumni network from your school you can tap into to try and get an initial phone screen?

^this is correct. But at the analyst level, recruiting will focus a good bit on your academic record looking for horsepower and achievement. If you have that, plus know the consulting process, you’ll be a good, if somewhat entry-level, candidate.

Demonstrate that you understand broader business challenges and solutions across functional areas. In my experience, my challenges when hiring / staffing individuals with predominantly tech delivery backgrounds is narrow focus, difficulty integrating with other practices, and effective communication across stakeholder groups.
