Forward-Deployed AI Engineer: Enterprise Outcomes

Accenture PLC; Newcastle upon Tyne; On-site; GBP 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Accenture PLC is seeking Forward Deployed AI Engineers who work inside client enterprises to translate AI platform capabilities into measurable business value. This role emphasizes outcomes over milestones, ownership of time-to-value, adoption, reliability, and scalability across multi-stakeholder environments.

You will lead enterprise AI deployments across complex client ecosystems, drive rapid production-ready experiments, architect end-to-end solutions, and articulate ROI to CTOs and CFOs.

Qualifications

• Experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerisation, serverless).
• Deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production environments.
• Experience with AI platforms — OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, plus open‑source models — including building abstraction layers to manage multi-provider pipelines.
• Experience leading software engineering teams: overseeing delivery, allocating resources across workstreams, and owning the professional development of direct reports.

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.
