Job description

Learning & Workforce Skills Consultant

Location: London, Manchester, Edinburgh | Career Level: CL9

The challenge we are solving

Workforce capability has become a C‑Suite priority. AI is rewriting roles, compressing skill lifecycles and creating an urgent capability gap that traditional training approaches cannot close. For CHROs and CLOs, the question is no longer whether to reinvent their learning organisation — it is how to do it fast enough, at sufficient scale, and with measurable impact on business performance.

Accenture’s Learning practice exists to answer that challenge. Powered by LearnVantage — our AI-native enterprise learning business and platform — we help the world’s largest organisations shift from fragmented, costly training to personalised, AI‑enabled capability building that drives productivity, engagement and growth. We are growing rapidly and building the team to match.

As a team

You will join the Learning offering within Accenture’s Talent Reinvention practice — a team at the intersection of consulting, AI and enterprise workforce transformation. We design and deliver AI skilling programmes, learning operating model transformations and intelligent platform implementations for CHROs, CLOs and business leaders who need to move fast.

We are not a traditional L&D function. We are a growth‑oriented consulting practice, and we are looking for people who want to build something new — not maintain something that already exists.

In this role you will

• Contribute to end‑to‑end client engagements across learning and workforce transformation — supporting analysis, solution design, stakeholder engagement and delivery across multiple workstreams.
• Help design and deliver enterprise AI skilling programmes: building role‑based learning journeys that develop genuine AI fluency across client workforces, not just awareness training.
• Support skills gap analysis and workforce capability assessments, using data to connect learning investment to business outcomes.
• Contribute to the design of enterprise skilling architectures: helping clients think through how content, platforms, skills data and AI fit together at scale.
• Work with modern AI‑enabled learning technology ecosystems — gaining hands‑on exposure to LXPs, skills intelligence platforms and AI learning tools.
• Support business development activity: contributing to proposals, client presentations and opportunity development as part of a growing market presence.
• Collaborate with LearnVantage product teams, Udacity and Accenture’s global learning network to deliver integrated solutions.

We are looking for

• A consulting mindset first: you approach problems analytically, communicate clearly, and are comfortable operating in ambiguous, client‑facing environments.
• Some exposure to learning, workforce transformation, talent or HR consulting — whether through a consulting firm, an advisory role, or a technology company in this space.
• Genuine curiosity about AI and its practical application to workforce capability: you have explored AI tools, followed the space, or ideally applied AI in a learning or talent context.
• An understanding of what modern enterprise learning looks like — you can articulate the difference between a programme that changes behaviour and one that drives completions.
• Strong communication and analytical skills; comfortable building a structured argument and presenting to senior audiences.
• Energy and drive to contribute to business growth, not just client delivery.

Preferred experience

• Experience applying AI, automation or emerging technology to learning, talent or workforce challenges — assessed through specific examples, not theoretical knowledge.
• Exposure to modern learning technology ecosystems, including AI‑enabled learning platforms or LXPs.
• Background in project‑based delivery whether from management consulting, HR/learning technology, ed‑tech, or workforce transformation.

What’s in it for you

• 30 days' vacation per year
• private medical insurance
• 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice

Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role as there will be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners.
