Here, we develop company-wide IT and digitalisation strategies that exploit ground-breaking technologies and strategically advise our Fortune 500 CIO clients on how to reinvent their IT operating models, enterprise and data architectures, take advantage of cloud, and improve the value they are getting from their IT investments. Our practice has been consistently rated as the best team in the industry by the Financial Times based on client ratings and was key for Accenture to be named a leader by Forrester.

The Opportunity for You

We are looking for an experienced individual to join our vibrant Technology Strategy and Transformation practice. We are looking for people who can help clients shape and deliver technology-led reinvention across the Digital Core. This role is suited to candidates who bring a strong consulting foundation and experience across several areas of technology strategy, architecture, AI enablement, digital foundations, technology effectiveness, and transformation delivery. We do not expect every candidate to be an expert in every area; we value thoughtful generalists who can connect business priorities, technology choices, delivery realities, and measurable value outcomes while continuing to be curious about learning. In this role, you will help clients define, shape and deliver technology products, platforms, operating models and transformation programmes that unlock business value, improve agility and accelerate outcomes. You will work closely with senior client stakeholders, business and industry specialists, engineering teams, architects, designers, analysts, partner vendors and delivery teams to create practical, high-quality outcomes.

What you will help clients do:

• Lead strategic advisory projects, programmes and workstreams from shaping through to delivery, keeping stakeholders aligned, informed and focused on outcomes.
• Help clients define how technology functions can create business value through effective operating models, product and platform structures, governance, organisation design and ways of working.
• Shape transformation strategies, business cases, roadmaps, target states, frameworks and recommendations that are pragmatic, actionable and linked to measurable value.
• Assess current-state maturity across areas such as architecture, agile delivery, modern engineering, operating models, governance, AI readiness and technology ways of working.
• Advise clients on how AI and emerging technologies may change IT operating models, workforce capability, governance and client value.
• Guide practical adoption of AI in the software development lifecycle, helping teams reduce delivery cost, improve engineering effectiveness and accelerate time to value.
• Own practical delivery plans, timelines, budgets, risks, dependencies, resources, quality and commercial reporting.
• Facilitate workshops, planning sessions and governance forums in a clear, inclusive and structured way.
• Work with cross-functional teams including engineers, designers, analysts, architects, clients, vendors and delivery partners to deliver high-quality outcomes.
• Provide clear updates on progress, risks, issues, actions and dependencies to support effective decision-making.
• Lead, coach and mentor client and internal teams through change, embedding new ways of working and building a positive, inclusive, high-performing delivery culture.

What you will do:

Work with senior business and technology leaders to define technology strategies, future-state roadmaps, and practical transformation plans. Help clients build AI-ready digital foundations across data, cloud, infrastructure, platforms, enterprise architecture, and modern delivery practices. Assess technology estates, operating models, delivery capabilities, resilience, cost, and value to identify opportunities for improvement. Support complex transformation programmes by helping teams establish governance, manage risk, track value, and maintain delivery momentum. Collaborate across business, technology, data, engineering, infrastructure, managed services, and ecosystem partners to create joined-up solutions.

Experience Requirements:

• Significant experience in consulting, technology strategy or technology transformation teams (typically 6+ years).
• Proven track record driving technology transformation programmes.
• Experience managing client relationships at senior levels.
• Demonstrated success contributing to business development, proposal development and sales pursuits.
• Good commercial acumen with experience managing project financials.

Core skills we expect everyone to bring:

• AI awareness and curiosity: a practical understanding of how AI, data, and automation are changing businesses, technology functions, and delivery methods.
• Strong communication and storytelling: the ability to explain complex ideas clearly, tailor messages for different audiences, and build confidence with stakeholders.
• Project and change skills: experience helping teams plan, organise, govern, and deliver change in complex environments.
• Business and technology judgement: the ability to connect technology decisions to business outcomes, value, risk, cost, and feasibility.
• Collaboration and adaptability: comfort working across multidisciplinary teams, learning new domains quickly, and contributing beyond a narrow specialism.
• Structured problem solving: the ability to break down ambiguity, identify options, build evidence-based recommendations, and move work forward.

Experience across several of these areas:

• Technology strategy and architecture: shaping technology vision, business technology strategy, enterprise architecture, future-state roadmaps, and investment cases.
• AI, data, and digital foundations: supporting AI adoption, data strategy, agentic or AI-enabled platforms, cloud and infrastructure strategies, enterprise SaaS, and modern digital core design.
• Technology modernisation and resilience: assessing legacy estates, defining modernisation pathways, improving resilience, and sequencing practical architecture roadmaps.
• Technology effectiveness and value: improving technology operating models, FinOps, cost optimisation, AI-enabled software delivery, engineering productivity, and value tracking.
• Transformation delivery: supporting large‑scale technology programmes, transformation offices, governance, planning, risk management, stakeholder engagement, and benefits realisation.
• Ecosystem and platform collaboration: working with major technology platforms, cloud providers, software vendors, and cross‑functional delivery teams to shape integrated solutions.

Who will thrive in this role:

Generalists who enjoy connecting ideas across strategy, architecture, delivery, AI, data, operating model, and business value. People who are comfortable with ambiguity and can help clients move from broad ambition to practical next steps. Consultants who can build trusted relationships, communicate clearly, and bring teams together around a shared direction. Candidates with curiosity, learning agility, and the confidence to contribute across several areas while deepening expertise over time.

Important note on requirements

This is intentionally not a checklist of mandatory must-haves. We expect candidates to demonstrate the core consulting, communication, AI awareness, project, and change skills described above, and to bring meaningful experience across several of the capability areas. We welcome candidates who can learn quickly, collaborate broadly, and apply good judgement across a range of client challenges.
