We Are:

Accenture is recognized as a global leader in AI and cloud transformation, helping businesses across industries reimagine the digital core for an AI-native operating model. Through partnerships with frontier AI labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI, and the leading cloud providers, Accenture delivers end-to-end services that drive innovation and business agility.

The Digital Core Reinvention practice builds industry super-ontologies: industry- and ecosystem-specific agentic AI and data engines that encode how a vertical actually operates - its entities, its regulations, its rhythms - so AI systems can reason inside the industry rather than about it.

You Are:

A rare double profile: deep industry fluency in at least one of insurance, communications & media, or retail, married to real knowledge-engineering craft.

You've sat with the chief underwriting officer and the ontologist and translated between them.

This is the senior technical track at Accenture: we hire people here who would rather own a methodology than carry a number.

The Work:

As an Associate Director in this family you are the technical owner of the industry digital-brain discipline in your vertical. Concretely, that means three things at once:

You own the methodology.

• Industry discovery and baseline, super-ontology design and build, lifecycle management as regulation and markets shift - yours to defend and evolve.

You own the asset portfolio.

• The industry ontology itself, the vertical agent patterns, the regulatory hooks - assets that compound engagement over engagement.

You own the technical point of view.

• You are the named industry voice - analyst conversations, industry councils, the public argument for encoded industry knowledge as competitive moat.

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.
