Job description

We are:

Accenture helps the world's leading enterprises reinvent by building their digital core and unleashing the power of AI to create value at speed and scale. We are a talent- and innovation-led company with approximately 799,000 people serving clients in more than 120 countries.

Accenture's Life Sciences Reinventive Enterprise practice leads AI-driven enterprise transformation at the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations. We deploy the Reinvention Force: a human + AI team of Transformers, Workforce Architects, and AI & Data Innovators that makes reinvention real at enterprise scale.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact practice with strong momentum and a clear path to Managing Director for high performers.

About the role:

• The Reinvention Program Manager is the operational backbone of the AI Transformation Office.
• This role keeps the program running with discipline, visibility, and momentum — managing communications, milestone tracking, portfolio reporting, and operating cadence across all workstreams.
• This is not a traditional PMO role — it is an AI-enabled program manager who uses automation to do what once required a team.

The Work:

• Manage project communications, milestone tracking, and portfolio reporting across all transformation workstreams — giving the Portfolio Strategy & Value Lead the visibility needed to govern effectively
• Track budget actuals against plan, surface variances early, and support governance reporting to the client's transformation leadership
• Leverage AI-powered project management tools and automation to streamline program operations — this role is expected to be a practitioner of the tools deployed
• Coordinate across Transformers, Workforce Architects, and AI & Data Innovators to maintain an integrated view of progress, dependencies, and risks
• Maintain the operating cadence: cadence calls, status reports, risk logs, and action tracking across a fast-moving transformation engagement

You are:

An experienced practitioner with proven delivery expertise in your domain. You are analytically rigorous and structured in your thinking. You communicate complex ideas clearly to senior stakeholders. You are comfortable operating in ambiguous environments and thrive in cross-functional delivery teams. You have supported business development and are ready to take on more. You bring intellectual curiosity, drive, and a genuine interest in how AI is transforming the Life Sciences industry.

Candidates must have at least 5 years of combined experience in the following areas:

• Program or project management at a top-tier consulting firm or in a complex enterprise delivery environment
