Job description

THE WORK:

• Contribute to governance approaches for distributed and scalable data architectures, including domain-oriented ownership, federated governance models, and metadata-driven practices that enable continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with Data Architects, Engineers, InfoSec, Compliance, and AI teams to embed governance principles into technical and operational processes and translate business needs into practical implementation approaches.
• Guide clients in defining and implementing semantic layer standards, including SKOS, RDF, and SML as foundational infrastructure for modern Data & AI platforms.
• Design and operationalize semantic layers, business glossaries, and taxonomies; develop ontology and knowledge-graph-driven data models that link business meaning to physical data assets, including in agentic and LLM environments.
• Solid working knowledge of knowledge graphs and ontologies and their application in modelling complex relationships between business entities across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data sources.
• Participate in client workshops, governance assessments, and solution shaping activities, while establishing robust governance around Agentic AI, Responsible AI, and modern enterprise data management.
• Flexible: The work location for this role may include a mix of working remotely (most of the time), onsite at a client or in an Accenture office - depending on specific project circumstances. With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders, and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Work on projects for international clients across multiple industries, expanding your skill set in "new" data governance, metadata, semantics, and Agentic AI-enabled operating models.
• Gain exposure to advisory, delivery, and strategic work, while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across business, architecture, engineering, compliance, and AI.
• Build your expertise in a role that supports professional growth through real client challenges, solution shaping, and enterprise-scale Data & AI initiatives.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Experience moving beyond standard data governance to "new" governance frameworks based on ontologies, graphs, and Agentic AI.
• A strong conceptual understanding of graph concepts in governance and how they are utilized within agent-based environments (deep hands‑on experience is not strictly required as this is a new field, but grasping the core concepts is essential).
• Strong understanding of modern enterprise data ecosystems and governance challenges in AI-driven organizations, including distributed data ownership models, federated governance, and metadata-driven architectures.
• Hands‑on familiarity with semantic layers, business glossaries, taxonomies, and ontology or knowledge graph approaches such as RDF/OWL and SKOS.
• Understanding of cloud‑based data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, Synapse, BigQuery, or Redshift, and confidence working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, alongside a pragmatic and forward‑thinking approach to governance in fast‑changing organizations.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:

• Familiarity with graph databases (e.g., AWS Neptune) and understanding their application in agentic AI contexts.
• Experience in consulting or multi‑client environments, including support for RFP responses, solution shaping, or proposal development within the Data & AI domain.
• Experience with governance and data catalog tools such as Atlan, Collibra, Purview, or Alation, as well as real‑world implementation of semantic models, enterprise taxonomies, or domain ontologies.
• Familiarity with knowledge graphs, semantic web standards, Responsible AI, or comprehensive AI governance frameworks.

WHAT WE OFFER?

• Permanent employment contract.
• Individual support of a People Lead and a specific path of professional development, as well as the possibility of a session with a Coach.
• A wide training package (soft, technical, and language training offer, access to the e‑learning platforms, Gallup test, GenAI training, possibility of co‑financing courses, and certification).
• Employee Assistance Program - legal, financial, and psychological consultations.
• Accenture employees eligible for the Employee share purchase plan automatically become eligible for quarterly dividends if they own company shares.
• Paid employee referral program.
• Private medical care, life insurance.
• Access to the Worksmile platform (possibility of using a wide range of products and services, including the Multisport card)
