You'll learn, grow and advance in an innovative culture that thrives on shared success, diverse ways of thinking and enables boundaryless opportunities that can drive your career in new and exciting ways.

If you’re looking for a challenging career working in a vibrant environment with access to training and a global network of experts, this could be the role for you. As part of our global team, you'll be working with cutting-edge technologies and will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of new skills on the job.

The Opportunity:

Do you lead with both technical depth and delivery excellence?

At Accenture Technology, we're looking for an engineering-focused Delivery Lead who combines genuine technical credibility with a track record of leading complex programmes — and the curiosity to drive teams forward in an AI-enabled world. 

You'll be embedded in real client engagements across our Global Delivery Network — working with some of the world's most ambitious organisations to deliver technology transformation that genuinely matters. You'll bring the confidence to engage in architecture conversations, contribute meaningfully to technical decisions, and inspire engineering teams through a shared understanding of what great delivery looks like. 

With access to Accenture's unmatched global resources, deep partnerships with the world's leading technology companies, and a culture built on continuous innovation, this is a role for someone who wants to shape the future of engineering delivery — not just manage it. 

What You'll Do 

You'll own end-to-end delivery — accountable for quality, pace, and client confidence from kick-off to go-live. Here's how that breaks down: 

Lead 

  • Drive delivery of high-quality technology transformation programmes, on time and on budget 

  • Lead multi-functional, geographically distributed engineering teams across the full delivery lifecycle — design, build, test, and deploy 

  • Coach and develop your team, creating an environment where AI tooling and modern engineering practices are adopted thoughtfully and with measurable impact 

  • Act as a trusted technology delivery partner for clients — bridging the gap between engineering reality and business expectation 

Plan & Decide 

  • Actively contribute to technical decisions — evaluating architectural trade-offs, build vs. buy options, and their downstream impact on delivery risk and pace 

  • Use AI-assisted planning tools to improve estimation accuracy, forecast risks earlier, and drive more data-informed sprint and programme decisions 

  • Develop and manage end-to-end delivery plans across Agile, Scaled Agile, Kanban, and Waterfall methodologies 

  • Proactively manage Risk, Assumptions, Issues, and Dependencies (RAID) — using AI tooling to surface patterns and predict blockers before they land 

  • Lead governance, stakeholder reporting, and budgetary control with clarity and accountability 

Shape the Future of Engineering Delivery 

  • Champion AI-enabled delivery practices within your teams — from AI-assisted backlog refinement and sprint forecasting to automated status reporting and retrospective insight 

  • Stay ahead of where engineering delivery is going — agentic development, AI in the SDLC, DevSecOps, platform engineering — and bring those practices into your programmes 

  • Drive a culture of continuous improvement, where teams are empowered to experiment, iterate, and raise the bar on how software is built and shipped 

  • Contribute to Accenture's engineering delivery community, sharing what works and influencing practice at scale 

 

Requisitos

  • Proven track record of successfully leading end-to-end technology delivery programmes at scale, including budget ownership 

  • Strong engineering background — able to actively engage in technical design, architecture, and solution decisions, not just translate between teams 

  • Solid experience across Agile (Scrum, Kanban, Scaled Agile/SAFe) and Waterfall delivery methodologies 

  • Experienced people leader — able to build, motivate, and develop high-performing, cross-functional engineering teams 

  • Excellent stakeholder management skills — confident engaging senior client and internal leaders on both technical and commercial dimensions 

  • Strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple priorities and workstreams simultaneously 

  • Hands-on user of AI-enabled delivery tooling who actively champions adoption across their teams — able to speak concretely to how it has changed the way you plan, report, and lead 

AI-Enabled Engineering Leadership (Essential at CL8) 

  • Practical experience using AI tools to improve delivery outcomes — e.g. AI-assisted risk identification, sprint forecasting, reporting automation, or retrospective analysis 

  • Ability to coach teams on responsible and effective use of AI in a delivery context, maintaining human judgement and accountability on high-stakes decisions 

  • Awareness of AI's evolving role in the SDLC — from AI-assisted code generation and testing through to agentic workflows and autonomous delivery tooling 

  • Understanding of where AI adds genuine value in engineering delivery — and where human oversight remains essential 

Set Yourself Apart 

  • Proven ability to manage complex multi-vendor or multi-team delivery environments 

  • Experience influencing senior stakeholders and navigating organisational complexity 

  • Demonstrable knowledge of modern engineering practices — DevSecOps, SRE, platform engineering, modern architecture 

  • Relevant Cloud and Delivery certifications (e.g. SAFe, AWS, PMP, Prince2) 

  • Strong Technical and Emotional Quotient — able to hold both the engineering depth and the human dimensions of delivery 

 

What’s in it for you

At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 25 days of vacation per year, access to app based fitness classes and discounts on range of gyms, private medical insurance and three days leave per year for charitable work of your choice!

Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role to deliver the first-class services we are known for.
