About ITSA
Industry Technology Strategy & Architecture leads at the intersection of business and technology, driving maximum client value through the exploitation of AI, technology, and data. We serve as the primary architect of our clients' industry-relevant technology estate, defining future-state visions, building the business case for change, and designing the enterprise architecture that turns ambition into an executable roadmap.
Our work spans four solution areas: Business Technology Strategy, Technology Visioning / Future Tech & Innovation, Enterprise & Technology AI & Data Strategy, and Industry Enterprise Architecture. Across all of them we deliver measurable outcomes: full traceability between business priorities and technology investment, stronger investment alignment and prioritization, reduced architectural complexity and duplication, and faster identification of AI, data, and digital opportunities.
Your responsibilities
- Support the delivery of technology strategy engagements that connect client business ambitions to technology, data, and AI investment decisions.
- Research markets, competitors, emerging technologies, and the client's current technology footprint to inform future-state recommendations.
- Co-create compelling technology visions and shape the role of data, AI, GenAI, and agentic AI in business strategies.
- Develop recommendations and translate them into technology roadmaps that link strategic ambition to executable milestones, aligned to the client's planning cycles.
- Support the development of business cases for technologies such as AI, data, and cloud to underpin investment decisions.
- Work across business and technology stakeholders to build the case for change and support consensus on priorities.
- Support traceability between business priorities, technology investments, and roadmaps.
- Contribute to enterprise AI and data strategy development and to future-technology innovation.
- Use AI tools to accelerate research, synthesis, and analysis, validating their outputs with logic, evidence, and domain knowledge.
- Build trusted relationships with immediate client stakeholders, contribute confidently in meetings, workshops, and presentations, and begin to understand and own their issues and success measures.
- Support business development by recognizing client issues beyond the immediate scope, helping shape proposals and work orders, and matching client needs to relevant Accenture offerings.
- Work autonomously on defined workstreams, managing priorities, progress, risks, and capacity, and coordinate and support junior colleagues to deliver to agreed time, budget, and quality expectations.
- Produce consistently high-quality, well-structured documents, presentations, analyses, and other deliverables that communicate clear insights and recommendations and are ready to be presented to C-suite and executive-level audiences.
- Contribute to the growth and effective operation of the Accenture practice and ITSA by supporting and, where appropriate, driving knowledge sharing, training, and community activities, recruitment, reusable assets, and thought leadership, while meeting internal business obligations.
