Descripción de la vacante

Accenture PLC is seeking an AI-native Forward Deployed Product Manager to lead a single AI delivery team building an agentic harness. You will turn business problems into specs, run the loop, and demonstrate working product value to clients.

You’ll build and skill AI agents, engineer the harness context, and prototype rapidly while collaborating with client teams and senior leadership.

Formación

• 3+ years of product/technical-product or delivery leadership with technical fluency (APIs, integrations, cloud) and strong client-facing delivery.
• 1+ year AI-first skills (building agents, spec-driven development, context engineering and prototyping with AI).
• 1+ year GenAI and LLM fundamentals.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience.

Responsabilidades

• Lead discovery and mobilization (first ~2 weeks): assess what the team and client need, break down the problem, and stand up the agentic harness for the product.
• Build and skill AI agents for the harness: create agent skills and tools, author markdown / context files, and engineer the context the harness reasons over.
• Write specifications and drive spec-driven development: author clear, open specs the AI harness can pick up and iterate on.
• Prototype and vibe-code to shape the product: build clickable prototypes and concepts with AI to align stakeholders quickly.
• Partner with stakeholders on requirements: gather and refine evolving business requirements into the technical form the harness executes.
• Run the harness and run demos independently: show the working product, value delivered, and how the harness operates at each step.
• Shape and prioritize the feature pipeline: define sprint epics and keep the delivery runway healthy.
• Manage the team to stakeholder expectations: own delivery commitments and keep the team aligned.

You are:

An AI-native Forward Deployed Product Manager who leads a single AI delivery team built on an agentic harness (the orchestration environment of agents, skills, specs, and context that produces and runs the product). You turn business problems into the specs the harness executes, run the loop yourself, and demonstrate the working product and its value directly to clients. You build and skill your own agents, engineer the context the harness reasons over, and prototype to shape a product fast. You are technically fluent and hands‑on, without replacing the engineering accountability for production code and operations.

Building agents: hands‑on experience creating and skilling AI agents (skills, tools, and context / markdown files).

Spec‑driven development: writing specifications and driving development from them.

Context engineering: curating the knowledge, retrieval, and memory an AI system reasons over.

Vibe coding and prototyping: building clickable prototypes and concepts with AI tools.

Generative AI and LLM fundamentals: working knowledge of retrieval‑augmented generation, embeddings, prompt engineering, AI agents, and agentic workflows.

Product or delivery leadership: experience leading product management, technical product management, delivery management, or business analysis in complex environments.

Technical fluency: APIs, integrations, cloud platforms, and modern architectures; able to discuss interaction and dependency points with engineers (without owning the implementation).

Client‑facing delivery: ability to run client demos and communicate product value independently.

Leadership through influence: ability to lead without authority, make decisions under ambiguity, and operate effectively in evolving client environments.

The Work:

You will embed with a client delivery team and lead one harness team end to end: from discovery and mobilization, through writing the specs and business requirements the harness runs on, to running demos of the working product and the harness itself. You manage the team to stakeholder expectations; the stakeholder‑leadership seat sits with the Senior Forward Deployed Product Manager.

Responsibilities:

• Lead discovery and mobilization (first ~2 weeks): assess what the team and client need, break down the problem, and stand up the agentic harness for the product.


• Build and skill AI agents for the harness: create agent skills and tools, author markdown / context files, and engineer the context the harness reasons over.


• Write specifications and drive spec‑driven development: author clear, open specs the AI harness can pick up and iterate on.


• Prototype and vibe‑code to shape the product: build clickable prototypes and concepts with AI to align stakeholders quickly (concepts and UI, not production code).


• Partner with stakeholders on requirements: gather and continuously refine evolving business requirements into the technical form the harness executes and iterates.


• Run the harness and run demos independently: show the working product, the value delivered, and how the harness operates at each step, without needing an engineer on the call.


• Shape and prioritize the feature pipeline: features within a sprint, epics across sprints, keeping the delivery runway healthy.


• Manage the team to stakeholder expectations: own delivery commitments and keep the team aligned to what stakeholders expect.

This is hybrid role and will require three days per week in the office; travel 25% to 75% per business need.

Hiring locations: Columbus, OH; Atlanta, GA; Tampa, FL; or Dallas, TX.

Here’s What You Need:

• A minimum of three years of experience of product, technical‑product or delivery leadership experience with technical fluency (APIs, integrations, cloud) and strong client‑facing delivery.


• A minimum of one year of experience with AI‑first skills (building agents, spec‑driven development, context engineering and prototyping with AI).


• A minimum of one year of experience with GenAI and LLM fundamentals


• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience.)

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands‑on expertise with enterprise AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex; relevant certifications a plus.


• Experience in regulated industries or environments with significant privacy, security, compliance, or risk requirements.


• Product management, Agile, Scrum, SAFe, or related professional certification.
