Enterprise AI Deployment Engineer — Client-Facing Impact

Accenture PLC; Newcastle upon Tyne; On-site; GBP 90,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Accenture Newcastle seeks Forward Deployed AI Engineers who will embed with client teams to scale AI capabilities from architecture to adoption. You will own outcomes like time-to-value, reliability, and scalability while delivering across multiple workstreams in complex enterprise environments.

Responsibilities include leading platform deployments with major AI providers, shaping value-driven roadmaps, and codifying reusable patterns to accelerate reinvention at client sites.

Qualifications

• Engineering experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).
• Deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic solutions in production environments.
• Experience with AI platforms - OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, plus open-source models.
• Experience leading software engineering teams: overseeing delivery, allocating resources across workstreams, and owning the professional development of direct reports.
• Demonstrated end-to-end delivery ownership in a client-embedded environment; internal projects do not qualify.
• Ability to articulate business value: quantify impact of deployments for CFO-level decision-making.
• Experience presenting to and building trust with senior client stakeholders (CTO, CFO, CISO).
• Non-linear profiles welcomed; assessment based on deployment outcomes and ownership.
• People-lead responsibilities: manage, develop, and performance-manage a team of engineers.

Responsibilities

• Lead enterprise AI platform deployments across complex multi-stakeholder client environments - Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, SAP, or Palantir - owning the full programme from architecture through adoption
• Own programme-level delivery outcomes: time-to-value, reliability, adoption velocity, and scalability across multiple concurrent workstreams, with commercial metrics attached
• Lead rapid experimentation at pace: drive ambiguous business problems to working production systems in days or weeks across complex enterprise environments
• Architect and govern enterprise AI solutions across the full technology stack: identity, data, security, governance, platform layer, and multi-system workflow integration at programme scale
• Shape AI reinvention strategy for client CTO, CFO, and CISO: build value architecture, ROI backlogs, use case prioritisation frameworks, and multi-year AI adoption roadmaps
• Define and publish reusable reinvention blueprints, patterns, and accelerators that scale across multiple client engagements and grow the FDE practice
• Lead architecture design sessions, executive workshops, and code-with sessions with client engineering and C-suite leadership teams
• Codify delivery learnings, failure patterns, and engineering standards that shape the FDE practice and enable the next generation of forward deployed engineers
