Business & Tech, Software Engineering & Cyber Security Streams

About the Role

As key members of the Accenture Technology team, our Business & Technology Integration (B&TI) graduates typically:

• Research client requirements before formulating a plan of action and work with a range of onshore and offshore teams to deliver the proposed solution
• Work with a client team to design, build and test technology-enabled solutions to transform business
• Work closely with the client at every stage, while handling third party suppliers, timelines and expectations

Who Should Apply

You do not need to code to succeed in B&TI. We're looking for students with a predicted minimum 2:2 degree in any academic background, who are passionate about solving problems with technology.

It is a distinct advantage to have studied a Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths (STEM) subject, particularly, Computer Science and Management Information Systems.

About the Role

Our Cyber Security graduates work on pioneering security solutions that blend risk strategy, digital identity, cyber defence, application security and managed services for our wide range of clients.

In your role, you will work as part of a team to:

• Develop innovative defences tailored to each client's industry and unique business goals
• Mitigate known risks and pre-empt unknown threats to safeguard data, networks, people and assets
• Strengthen your credentials as part of a global powerhouse of 5,000+ security specialists
• Enjoy the freedom of a start-up environment, backed by access to Accenture's world-class resources

Who Should Apply

We’re looking for graduates from STEM disciplines to join our Cyber Security stream. Graduates who have studied security or relevant topics will have an advantage.

We also welcome applications from graduates who have relevant work experience, e.g. an internship in cyber security.

Before joining Accenture, Jill earned her Bachelor of Music in NUI Maynooth and worked as a Music teacher, which she soon discovered didn’t suit her lifestyle.

Jill always had an interest in sound design, so she enrolled in a Master’s degree in Interactive Digital Media in Trinity College Dublin. During the course, she surprised herself by how much she enjoyed web design and programming.

After completing her Master’s, Jill joined the Accenture grad programme in Business & Technology Integration in 2017. She travelled to Madrid for two weeks of training, before starting her first project with one of our Silicon Valley clients.

Her work involves researching and investigating the client’s processes and systems, e.g. reporting. After researching how reporting currently works, Jill works with the client and Accenture colleagues to identify the reporting requirements, before defining a better, technology-optimised solution.

In terms of skills development, Jill has advanced her skills in high-demand areas like mySQL, HTML, CSS - and her new passion, Artificial Intelligence (AI). She has travelled twice to London for training in Conversational AI (i.e. chatbot building) and Test Automation.
