You’ll collaborate with CHROs and C-suite leaders to redefine work, skills, and operating models, aligning people with AI where it adds the most value while enabling data-driven decision making and ongoing capability

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in talent and workforce process excellence, process redesign, or management consulting with a focus on talent transformation.
• Minimum 1 year of experience designing future-state talent processes with AI — including operating model changes, adoption approaches, and intelligent automation across the talent lifecycle.
• Minimum 1 year of experience integrating AI and automating talent and workforce business process design.
• Minimum 1 year of deep expertise scoping and delivering project work in at least one talent domain (e.g., Talent Acquisition, Workforce Planning, Skills Architecture, Talent Mobility, Learning & Development, or AI-enabled talent delivery)

• Run client discovery workshops and stakeholder interviews; present and defend recommendations to senior business and CHRO-level leadership; manage day-to-day client relationships and issue resolution
• Drive benchmarking analyses and change-impact assessments grounded in deep knowledge of how talent and workforce functions operate — including skills architectures, workforce planning models, and talent acquisition cost structures
• Facilitate design thinking sessions and co-creation workshops with cross-functional client teams to reimagine talent processes and the workforce experience
• Connect talent operating model design to future-state processes — replacing job-based structures with task-level insights and skills-based workforce deployment that aligns people and AI where they create the most value
• Define and structure data and AI strategy within the Talent & Workforce function — assessing AI maturity, diagnosing where AI investments are failing to deliver workforce productivity or ROI, and building the business case, investment profile, and roadmap to convert organizations to an AI-first talent model
• Embed AI Experience (AX) Design principles into talent process specifications — defining how AI agent experiences should be shaped within each process step, including agent autonomy levels, escalation triggers, and the quality of human-agent handoffs across the talent lifecycle
• Infuse Responsible AI into talent transformation vision and roadmap; identify people, processes, and technologies to develop and operationalize AI solutions across talent acquisition, mobility, skills development, and workforce planning
• Enable continuous workforce planning and targeted talent mobility using Accenture developed solutions and products such as Talent Navigator and rich workforce data to improve retention, speed-to-productivity, and optimal cost allocation across the enterprise
• Build and maintain documented redesign methods and playbook contributions for assigned talent and workforce functional process areas
