• Shape actionable, insight-driven business cases and prioritised AI use cases aligned to value potential

• Guide clients through the organisational and cultural changes required to operationalise AI at scale – across talent, governance, and ways of working

• Lead and mentor cross-functional teams across strategy, architecture, engineering, and delivery

• Contribute to go-to-market activity, solutioning, proposal development, and internal capability uplift

What We’re Looking For

• Demonstrated experience leading enterprise data and AI strategy or transformation programs

• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture, operating model design, and value-driven solutioning

• Proven ability to influence and partner with senior business and technology stakeholders

• Ability to navigate ambiguity and bring structure to complex problems

• Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to connect AI ambition to business impact

• Industry experience or exposure to Health & Public Services, Communications, or Technology-driven environments

• Prior consulting experience, or demonstrated success in a senior internal transformation role

• Expertise in AI maturity frameworks, adoption roadmaps, and AI operating models

• Understanding of cloud platforms and modern data ecosystems (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP)

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience in crafting executive-level presentations and points of view

Why Join Us?
 

At Accenture, you’ll be part of a high-performing team helping organisations unlock the full potential of AI and data. You’ll operate at the forefront of transformation, advising industry leaders on how to navigate disruption and build the future of their businesses with intelligence at the core.
