We bring together the talent of our approximately 799,000 people with proprietary assets and platforms, deep process and industry expertise, and leading ecosystem relationships to deliver end-to-end solutions and measurable outcomes at scale. Through our Reinvention Services, we offer broad expertise across Cybersecurity, Digital Core, Finance, Industry and Enterprise, Song, Supply Chain and Engineering, and Talent, with advanced capabilities in AI and Data, Industry and Process, and Technology. We serve approximately 9,000 clients and generated approximately $70 billion in FY25 revenue. Visit us at THE OPPORTUNITY Group and Voluntary Benefits is undergoing the most consequential structural shift in a generation. Carriers that deploy AI as a system – across every value stream from quoting through claims – will capture significant five-year transformation value. Those that deploy it as point solutions will strand most of that value. This practice builds and delivers that architecture. We are looking for consulting managers who understand the domain deeply enough to design what the reinvented experience actually looks like – not just build the technology on top of the old one. ROLE SUMMARY Group and Voluntary Benefits Consulting Managers lead delivery workstreams on complex agentic transformation programs across the carrier value chain – from front-stage broker and employee experience design through back-stage operational reinvention. This is end-to-end work, not point-solution consulting. Managers on this team design the orchestrated outcomes, build the business cases that justify them, and govern the delivery programs that make them real. RESPONSIBILITIES Design and deliver agentic value stream solutions – leading workstreams across quoting, onboarding, data exchange, enrollment, billing, claims, integrated absence management, and renewals – with a clear eye on the orchestrated outcome, not isolated automation. Translate carrier strategy into operating model design – redesigning how examiners, case managers, underwriters, and enrollment teams work alongside AI agents; distinguishing copilot augmentation from autonomous agent workflows and multi-agent orchestration. Build and validate carrier-specific business cases – constructing V1/V2/V3 financial models grounded in loss ratio mechanics, adoption rate sensitivity, and five-year cumulative value architecture. Lead platform and technology workstreams – working across industry leading platforms EIS, FINEOS, Majesco, Vitech along with ben tech and ben admin platforms – and designing the integration architecture that makes agentic solutions operational. Shape client relationships and grow engagements – contributing to Mode 1 assessments and Mode 2 delivery proposals; developing ideas into go-to-market offerings; identifying net-new opportunities within active accounts. Develop and mentor junior consultants – building the team’s industry knowledge, analytical frameworks, and agentic AI fluency through active coaching on engagement. Bring a product owner mindset – running agile delivery cadences, managing scope and delivery risk, and owning the quality of workstream outputs at client sites and within Accenture.
