AI Engineering Lead, Enterprise Systems & Strategy

Accenture PLC; Arlington (VA); On-site; USD 87,000 - 291,000; Full time

Job summary

Accenture is seeking a senior AI/SCM engineer to help reinvent client supply chains by delivering AI-enabled transformations across ERP and SCM platforms. You will lead design and deployment of agentic AI solutions, work with multi‑platform AI environments, and map cross‑domain processes like Source-to-Pay and Plan-to-Deliver to operating models.

This role requires travel and strong strategic execution. You will partner with C-suite leaders to shape ROI-backed roadmaps, drive rapid

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of engineering experience with deep hands-on knowledge of enterprise SCM or ERP platform transformations (SAP, Oracle, Kinaxis, O9, Blue Yonder, or equivalent) including what breaks after go-live.
• Minimum 1 year designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in production environments (agents, orchestration, RAG, context engineering)
• Minimum 2 years working with AI platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI, Vertex AI, or open source) including multi-provider pipeline architecture
• Deep design experience and fluency across one or several cross-domain processes including Idea to Retire, Source-to-Pay, Plan-to-Produce, Order-to-Cash, and Plan-to-Deliver with the ability to map how these processes intersect, where friction compounds, and how operating model gaps amplify system limitations.

Responsibilities

• Own the full arc from business case to production: understand the client's operating model, identify the process friction and system interdependencies that block value, and build AI solutions that eliminate them — across ERP (SAP, Oracle), SCM platforms (Kinaxis, O9, Blue Yonder, Ariba), MES, and planning layers
• Lead cross-domain AI deployments at the functional interfaces — where planning, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and engineering intersect — resolving the interdependencies that single-domain implementations miss
• Drive rapid experimentation from ambiguous business problem to working production system in days or weeks, grounded in deep knowledge of how supply chain and ERP transformations actually behave post-go-live
• Architect agentic solutions (agents, RAG, orchestration, multi-system workflow integration) that operate across the full enterprise stack: identity, data, governance, platform, and process layer
• Shape AI reinvention strategy with client CTO, CFO, and CISO — translating process and operating model complexity into fundable value architecture, ROI backlogs, and multi-year adoption roadmaps
• Define reusable reinvention blueprints and patterns — grounded in real deployment learnings — that scale across engagements and build the FDE practice
