Job description

Do you want to help leading Belgian and international companies transform how they design, develop and bring products to market?

Lead and mentor junior team members, providing functional guidance and career development support
Support proposal development and contribute to growing our Engineering offering in Belgium
Collaborate with Accenture's international Engineering network to bring the best expertise to Belgian clients
