We Are
As part of Accenture’s Data & AI practice embedded in Strategy & Consulting, we help organisations use data, analytics, generative AI and automation to reinvent themselves. Our mission: accelerate clients’ path from data-rich to AI-enabled, guiding them through strategy, technology and change.

You Are
You are a seasoned Manager who combines business insight with data fluency, AI acumen and Retail experience. You work with clients to define strategy, manage delivery workstreams and ensure alignment between ambitious AI visions and pragmatic execution pathways.

The Work

• Manage AI strategy projects and workstreams: use-case definition, roadmap creation, value modelling, cost/benefit analysis, strategic documentation and executive briefings.

• Support development of target-state AI operating models: define capability requirements, governance, talent design, delivery model, data/AI lifecycle and platform implications.

• Coordinate with technology, architecture and delivery teams to translate strategy into feasible execution plans; support prototyping and solutioning of AI/LLM-enabled workflows.

• Actively contribute to business case development: assess AI/LLM consumption models, estimate cost/benefit, identify risks and define measures of success.

• Mentor and manage junior team members; contribute to staffing, performance feedback and capability development within the AI Strategy practice.

• Contribute to proposals, go-to-market content, internal thought-leadership and capability-building initiatives within Data & AI Strategy domain.

What You Need

• 7+ years of consulting, analytics, or digital transformation experience within Retail with exposure to AI/data strategy or transformation engagements.

• Demonstrated ability to engage with business and technology stakeholders, craft strategic recommendations and manage delivery workstreams.

• Understanding of AI/ML, generative AI, LLMs and how they map to business value; familiarity with cloud data-AI platforms.

• Strong analytical thinking, communication, facilitation and team leadership skills.

• English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with stakeholders across Canada, US and other countries across our Global footprint where English is the common language. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking stakeholders, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.

• A University Degree is required for this position

Bonus Points

• Experience with generative AI, prompt engineering, agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or LLM-based applications.

• Prior involvement in organisational change management or AI adoption programmes.
