JOB PURPOSE: We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own and evolve our AI, Data & Digital services portfolio for both financial services and corporate clients. This strategic role focuses on proposition design and portfolio management – crafting market-relevant service offerings that leverage our Insight & Analytics (I&A) heritage and our AD&D technical capabilities. You will define end-to-end AI propositions for clients in financial services and corporates, showcasing how AI and advanced analytics can drive business value over the medium to long term. A key aspect of the role is shaping our Microsoft-aligned propositions (e.g. leveraging Azure, Microsoft Copilot, etc.) to strengthen our co-sell partnership with Microsoft, initially strong in the UK and now expanding across DACH, North America and APAC. This is a high-impact position (no direct reports or P&L ownership) reporting to AD&D leadership, operating in a consulting and services environment where influence, collaboration, and thought leadership are crucial. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: • AD&D Services Portfolio Management: Take ownership of the AD&D service offerings portfolio across AI, data, digital engineering, and cloud services. Continuously refine and innovate propositions that meet evolving client needs in both financial services and corporate sectors. Ensure our offerings remain market-relevant, clearly differentiated, and tightly aligned to business outcomes for clients., • Customer Journey & Revenue Design: Define and own end‑to‑end customer journeys that create long‑term, recurring revenue for Acuity. Design compelling engagement models that move clients from strategy and use‑case envisioning through PoCs, MVPs and scaled product engineering, and into ongoing managed services where appropriate. Shape delivery journeys that intelligently leverage onshore, nearshore and offshore resources, balancing client outcomes, regulatory needs, speed to value and commercial sustainability. Ensure propositions clearly articulate how AI, data and digital initiatives evolve into durable platforms, products and services rather than one‑off engagements., • AI Narrative: Articulate a cohesive AI story for both financial services and corporate clients. Leverage our proprietary agentic AI platform (AgentFleet) (designed for regulated financial use-cases) alongside general AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot) and cloud AI platforms to create end-to-end narratives. Highlight how our I&A analysts and domain experts identify high-impact use cases, which our AD&D team then delivers through automation and AI “factory” rollout. Ensure this AI narrative clearly drives demand for data engineering, digital solutions, enterprise AI and cloud services across our business., • Microsoft Partnership Propositions: Lead the evolution of our Microsoft-aligned propositions for both corporates and financial institutions. Build service offerings that incorporate Microsoft’s AI and cloud technologies (Azure, Azure OpenAI, Databricks, Fabric, Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365 Copilot, etc.) in a way that addresses industry-specific challenges. Develop vertical propositions (e.g. AI-powered research platforms for banking, intelligent automation for asset managers) and horizontal tech solutions (e.g. cloud data platform accelerators, enterprise Copilot integration services). Ensure these offerings are “co-sell ready” with Microsoft – aligned to Microsoft solution areas and attractive for joint go-to-market. Work closely with our Microsoft Alliance leader based in the States and our Head of Microsoft Innovation Unit in the UK., • Sales Enablement & Alliance Support: Work closely with sales teams, account directors, alliance managers, and marketing to successfully take propositions to market. Enable our sales force to sell new offerings by providing training, playbooks, and direct deal support. In key client pursuits – especially those involving AI solutions or Microsoft technology – serve as a subject matter expert and advisor, helping shape proposals and messaging. Collaborate with the Microsoft alliance lead to drive co-sell activities, joint marketing campaigns, and ensure our Microsoft partnership delivers revenue growth in the UK and new regions (e.g. DACH, US, APAC)., • Market Insight & Continuous Improvement: Stay abreast of industry trends in AI, data and digital transformation across both financial services and other sectors. Gather feedback from clients, partners, and internal teams to continuously improve and adapt the portfolio. Monitor competitor offerings and adjust our propositions to maintain a competitive edge. Be a thought leader who can internally champion new ideas and externally represent our capabilities at industry forums or with clients., • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Operate effectively in a consulting and services-led organization, collaborating with practice leads, data scientists, engineers, and delivery teams to ensure our propositions are not just visionary but also deliverable and profitable. Balance innovation with practicality – define clear scope, delivery approach, and value metrics for each proposition. Work with Insight & Analytics (I&A) colleagues to integrate our research/analytics services with technology offerings, creating combined value propositions that competitors can’t easily replicate. REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND SKILLSETS: • Product Management Expertise: Proven experience (8+ years) in product management or offering management within technology consulting, digital services, or enterprise software. You have a track record of developing and launching service offerings or products from concept to market success. Experience in AI/ML, data analytics, or digital transformation services is highly desirable., • Domain Exposure: Financial Services & Corporates: Experience serving both financial services and corporate clients is essential. You understand how to position solutions in regulated environments like banking or asset management, and you appreciate the broader enterprise needs of corporates across industries. This dual exposure enables you to tailor propositions and messaging to different contexts (e.g. addressing a bank’s data governance concerns vs. a corporate’s productivity goals)., • AI & Data Knowledge: Strong understanding of the AI landscape – including generative AI, analytics, data platforms, and related technologies. You don’t need to be a hands-on data scientist, but you should grasp AI use-case envisioning, data governance considerations, and the principles of deploying AI at enterprise scale (e.g. AI factory/centre of excellence approaches). Familiarity with popular AI tools & platforms (e.g. large language models, AI Foundry, AWS AI services) and trends in enterprise AI adoption is important., • Hyperscaler Ecosystem Experience (Microsoft advantageous): Experience working with or within a major cloud/hyperscaler ecosystem is preferred. Knowledge of Microsoft’s Azure & AI stack and partner programmes is a significant plus. Perhaps you have managed cloud-based solutions, worked on Azure data/AI projects, or collaborated in a Microsoft co-sell context. This will help you hit the ground running in shaping Azure/Copilot-related propositions and engaging credibly with Microsoft., • Strategic & Analytical Thinker: Demonstrated ability to think strategically about market needs and then translate that into concrete service offerings. Strong analytical skills to identify gaps in our portfolio, size market opportunities, and define value propositions with clear ROI. You are adept at researching competitors and market trends, and you use data/feedback to drive decision-making for product/service direction., • Excellent Communication & Influence: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills. Able to craft crisp value propositions and compelling narratives for both technical and executive audiences. Comfortable presenting to clients and senior internal stakeholders. You excel at cross-functional influence without authority – aligning teams from sales, marketing, delivery, and alliances around a common product vision., • Execution Focus in Services Environment: Proven ability to work in a matrixed, services-led organisation and get things done. You can coordinate initiatives that span multiple teams and ensure timely delivery of high-quality outputs (e.g. launching a new proposition playbook or running internal training). A self-starter with strong project management and organisational skills, capable of balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution details., • Prior experience in consulting firm + MBA or relevant masters degree: Understanding the dynamics of consulting offerings, pricing, and delivery models will be an advantage backed by the academic experience from relevant training / education.

We are also open to exceptional candidates based in the USA. The Senior Product Manager – AD&D reports into the leadership of our AI, Data & Digital Services business.

Accenture is looking for an exceptional Network Security Lead to join our Network Infrastructure Engineering practice. This is a senior individual contributor and client leadership role for someone who combines deep enterprise network security expertise with the commercial instinct and communication skills to win trust at the highest levels of a client organisation. You will be the go-to security authority within the network practice — the person clients call when they need to understand how to modernise their security architecture, navigate a compliance challenge, or respond to an evolving threat landscape. You will own relationships with a portfolio of blue-chip enterprise clients, guiding them on their journey toward Zero Trust, SASE, and SSE adoption, whilst shaping and delivering the work that follows. This role demands someone who is equally comfortable whiteboarding a ZTNA architecture with a room full of CCIEs, presenting a business case to a CISO, and rolling up their sleeves to produce the proposal, design, or deliverable that gets the deal done. Versatility is not optional — it is the role. Key Responsibilities Client Relationship & Advisory • Own and develop trusted senior relationships across a portfolio of blue-chip enterprise clients, acting as their primary network security advisor within Accenture., • Advise clients at CISO, CTO, and VP Infrastructure level on network security strategy, architecture modernisation, and risk posture improvement., • Lead client workshops, discovery sessions, and executive briefings, facilitating complex technical and strategic conversations with confidence and clarity., • Serve as a trusted thought partner as clients navigate regulatory compliance requirements, security frameworks (e.g. NIST, ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA), and evolving threat environments., • Provide authoritative guidance on enterprise network security architecture, with particular depth across:, • SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) — architecture, vendor landscape, migration strategies, • SSE (Security Service Edge) — SWG, CASB, DLP, RBI and integration patterns, • ZTNA / Zero Trust — principles, frameworks, identity-centric access, micro-segmentation, • Next-Generation Firewall & IPS/IDS — policy design, segmentation, east-west traffic control, • Network Access Control (NAC/802.1X, Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass), • Secure SD-WAN and the convergence of networking and security in modern enterprise WAN, • Cloud Security Networking — VPC security, cloud-native firewalling, private access patterns across AWS, Azure, and GCP, • PKI, certificate management, and encryption standards at scale, • Stay ahead of the vendor landscape (Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, Cisco, Fortinet, Cloudflare, Netskope, etc.), providing clients with impartial, outcome-driven guidance., • Act as a technical escalation point for the wider network engineering team on security-related matters., • Lead the development of security proposals, RFP responses, and solution designs, from initial shaping through to final submission and presentation., • Create high-quality client-facing deliverables — architecture documents, current-state assessments, roadmaps, business cases, and executive presentations — to a standard that reflects Accenture's positioning., • Collaborate with sales and account teams to shape win strategies, define differentiated propositions, and structure commercial approaches that resonate with technical and business buyers alike., • Leverage AI tools and platforms (including generative AI) to accelerate the production of proposals, assessments, research, and client communications — demonstrating practical, day-to-day AI fluency., • Advise clients on the security implications of AI adoption within their environments, including data exposure risks, access control considerations, and governance frameworks., • Critically evaluate AI-generated outputs, understanding where AI adds velocity and where human judgement and expertise remain essential — and communicate this distinction clearly to clients and colleagues. Technical • Extensive hands-on and advisory experience across enterprise network security, with demonstrable depth in SASE, SSE, Zero Trust, and secure networking architectures., • Strong understanding of enterprise networking fundamentals (routing, switching, SD-WAN, WAN architecture) — able to engage credibly with network engineers, not just security practitioners., • Experience designing or advising on large-scale security transformation programmes in complex, multi-site, or multi-cloud enterprise environments., • Familiarity with compliance and regulatory frameworks relevant to enterprise clients (NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, NIST CSF)., • Proven ability to write and present high-quality proposals and technical documents to senior client audiences., • Track record of owning client relationships in a consulting, vendor, or managed services context — with demonstrable examples of account growth and client satisfaction., • Ability to command technically complex rooms — earning credibility with engineers through substance, not authority., • Commercially aware, with an understanding of how to frame security investments in terms of risk, compliance, and business value rather than purely technical merit., • Actively proficient with AI-assisted tools for content creation, research, and analysis (e.g. Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or equivalent)., • Degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience., • One or more of the following certifications highly desirable:, • CISSP, CISM, or CCSP, • CCIE Security, • Vendor certifications: Palo Alto PCNSE, Zscaler ZDTA/ZCCA, Cisco SCOR, Fortinet NSE 7/8 You are not a pure architect who hands off to others, nor a pure account manager who relies on technical colleagues to fill the gaps. You occupy a rare middle ground — someone who has earned their stripes technically and subsequently developed the judgement, communication skills, and commercial instincts to lead at a strategic level. You are energised by variety. One day you are presenting a Zero Trust roadmap to a financial services CISO; the next you are deep in a proposal for a global manufacturing client's SASE migration; the following week you are in a workshop facilitating a threat modelling exercise with a team of network engineers. You do not just direct — you do. You understand that AI is a tool, not a replacement for expertise, and you use it intelligently to move faster and produce better work — without compromising quality or accuracy. Most importantly, you genuinely care about helping clients improve their security posture, meet their compliance obligations, and protect what matters most to their business. What You Will Own Area Ownership Client Relationships Portfolio of blue-chip enterprise accounts Security Advisory SASE, SSE, ZTNA, Zero Trust strategy and architecture Proposals & Pursuits End-to-end security bid leadership and content creation Technical Authority Network security escalation point for the practice AI Enablement Practical AI adoption within the team and client advisory Compliance Guidance Regulatory alignment across client security programmes Accenture is an equal opportunity employer.
