Job description

Role: Technology Value Manager

Location: London, Manchester or Edinburgh

Mobility: Up to 100%

Career Level: Manager (ML7)

Do you enjoy using innovation, and the latest technologies to solve challenges and realise business goals? Do you enjoy working at the intersection of business and technology, where you're engaging with senior clients, engineers and architects, on a daily basis? Are you a critical thinker that is keen to continue exploring the untouched capabilities of technologies such as Cloud, Big Data, AI and Robotics, and how their value can be maximised in a client's landscape.

Joining the team means becoming part of a community that serve Accenture's clients with the best and brightest insights regarding technology operating model strategy, design and transformation. Our values include challenging our clients' norms, building trusted relationships, and embracing diversity as a source of creativity and inspiration. We collaborate closely with experts globally to bring the best to our clients every day and stay relevant to their changing needs.

Our teams are changing businesses every day using deep industry insights, technology knowledge and innovative ideas. Positioned at the intersection of business, technology and industry, we devise creative new strategies and target operating models, based on trends, insights and data. With an eye for competitive advantage, digital disruption, operating models, and the future workforce, we take on the challenge of designing and implementing transformative business solutions, using the technology to drive business advantage.

Your responsibilities as a Tech Value Manager/Consultant will include:

• Helping clients estimate the value of their enterprise technology investments to support realisation of strategic business and technology outcomes
• Staying abreast of industry dynamics and the impact of technology trends on CTO and CFO strategy – e.g. the impact of AI on Business and Technology investment decisions and value realisation
• Building client facing business cases that project the costs and benefits (financial & non-financial) of technology transformation while ensuring it aligns with business objectives
• Supporting clients define and execute technology cost optimisation programmes across legacy, on-prem, hybrid cloud, SaaS, and AI deployments
• Support clients to design and mobilise FinOps / TokenOps capabilities for hybrid cloud, SaaS, and AI spend to deliver cost transparency, cost control, and cost optimisation to improve ROI on technology investments
• Advise clients on financial management concepts (transparency, chargeback, total cost of ownership, budgeting, forecasting) within CTO using industry best practice and frameworks – e.g. Technology Business Management (TBM)
• Provide insights and frameworks that help clients to make complex investment decisions that align to meeting their strategic goals
• Support clients to move their financial planning processes from traditional annual budget processes to multi-year investment plans that fund products rather than projects

We are looking for individuals who:

• Have experience analysing technology cost bases and providing optimisation recommendations
• Are inquisitive and keen to explore emerging technologies (Gen AI, Agentic AI, TokenOps, Quantum, etc.)
• Have experience working with major technologies (hybrid cloud, data platforms, SaaS, AI, etc.)
• Have proven stakeholder management and communication skills that can be leveraged to influence and persuade clients
• Are comfortable interpreting financial reports and linking through to technology spend and inventories
• Can work across multi-disciplinary teams
