Job summary

Accenture UK & Ireland is seeking a Technology Transformation & Delivery Manager to lead transformation offices or major workstreams end to end in London, Manchester, or Edinburgh. You will ensure quality, credibility of plans, and engagement with client executives, often as the senior delivery presence in the room.

This role requires delivering complex technology-enabled programmes, managing governance, planning and reporting, and advancing AI-driven ways of working across multiple domains.

Qualifications

• Substantial experience leading delivery or a transformation office on large, complex, technology-enabled programmes.
• Proven ability to run client governance independently, including escalation and challenging stakeholders.
• Depth in integrated planning, risk and dependency management, governance design and executive reporting.
• Experience managing a delivery team and assuring the quality of other people's work.
• Commercial awareness: scope control, change control, and the impact of delivery decisions on margin.
• A point of view on AI in programme delivery, with evidence of having applied it.
• Working knowledge of delivery and reporting toolsets (Power BI, Power Platform, Azure DevOps, Jira, Clarity or similar).

Responsibilities

• Transformation office leadership: standing up and running a client transformation office, from governance design to delivery.
• Delivery leadership: leading a workstream or delivery area, accountable for scope, schedule, dependencies and outcome.
• Integrated planning: owning the plan across multiple workstreams and vendors, and keeping the critical path honest.
• Risk ownership: holding the programme-level risk picture and escalating to executive level with a position, not just a flag.
• Programme intelligence and executive reporting: owning what leadership sees, and using automated reporting to shape decisions rather than record them.
• Value definition and tracking: agreeing the value case with the client and proving whether benefits are landing.
• Programme recovery: diagnosing what has gone wrong when an engagement is off track and resetting the delivery trajectory, with a clear action plan and executive narrative.
• AI-led ways of working: reengineering delivery and governance around AI - including agentic delivery and AI-powered reinvention offices - and deploying our industrialised accelerators on client engagements.
• Team leadership: leading Consultants and Analysts, developing capability, and counselling members of the practice.
• Business development: contributing to proposals and identifying extension opportunities on live accounts.
