In Technology, we work with the world’s leading organizations to build and manage the digital and AI-enabled foundations that power reinvention. Our Managed Reinvention Services (MRS) practice is rewriting the playbook on managed services-shifting clients from traditional, labor-led application management toward an AI-first, agentic operating model that reshapes tech economics and delivers measurable business outcomes at speed and scale.
You Are:
Own end-to-end delivery accountability - hold full P&L and outcome responsibility across multi-tower managed services accounts spanning AMS, IMS, Security, and Data & AI, driving toward committed business and technology results.
Architect and operationalize AI-first delivery models - design and implement agentic operations frameworks using Accenture’s Reinvention.AI platform and GenWizard capabilities, progressing clients deliberately along the autonomy maturity curve from human-augmented (L2) toward full autonomous operations (L4/L5).
Reshape tech economics - shift client Run spend toward Reinvention capital by systematically driving cost takeout, technical debt reduction, and throughput gains-converting efficiency savings into funded transformation.
Lead the workforce transition to agentic operations - build and evolve delivery teams composed of AI agent fleets and human SREs, define new role frameworks for the agentic era, and establish the governance and escalation model for autonomous operations.
Build and expand senior client relationships - serve as the primary technology advisor to CIOs and senior IT leadership, translating delivery performance into reinvention value and expanding the engagement scope over time.
Drive continuous modernization within the run model - embed architecture simplification, platform modernization, and resilience engineering as standing deliverables within managed services-not as separate projects.
Shape and win MRS pursuits - bring delivery credibility and operating model depth to competitive bids, contributing to solution design, commercial structuring, and MRS value proposition development across the portfolio.
Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirement
