Systems Integration Lead

Role Description

You’ve Never Been Satisfied with "Good Enough." You want to make an impact, not just manage projects, but change how the world gets built. At Accenture Infrastructure & Capital Projects, you’ll do exactly that. You’ll help develop and deliver the factories, grids, transit systems, and public infrastructure that keep communities moving - and do it smarter, safer, and more sustainably than ever before.

You’ll work alongside people who think big and act bold - project managers, engineers, technologists, and strategists who blend real-world experience with digital innovation and AI. Together, we’re transforming how capital projects are planned, managed, and executed, creating a better way to build for the future.

Because “good enough” builds the past. You’re here to build what’s next, on a team that outperforms every norm.

THE WORK:

• Act as the client’s owner’s representative, managing the SaaS vendor (Octave) through the design and build stage – detailed discovery, configuration design, integration configuration and build, test, and data migration for the pilot projects.
• Manage the vendor relationship end to end – governing scope, schedule, quality, commercial terms, and product roadmap dependencies.
• Review, challenge, and sign off on the vendor’s configuration design and solution architecture to ensure fit with the client’s established capital projects controls practices, standards, and program objectives.
• Oversee integration design and build across scheduling (e.g., Primavera P6), finance/ERP (e.g., SAP), and reporting/analytics data feeds (e.g., a data warehouse via API).
• Hold the vendor to scope, schedule, quality, and acceptance criteria against the statement of work; track, document, and drive issues, risks, and change requests through to resolution.
• Govern the data migration approach and validate migrated data for the pilot projects prior to stage-gate acceptance.
• Assure the vendor’s test strategy, execution, and results; confirm defined acceptance criteria are met before progressing each stage gate.
• Coordinate stakeholder engagement across scheduling, finance, IT and enterprise architecture, and controls leadership.
• Develop the implementation and rollout approach for scaling the solution beyond the pilot.
• Provide hands-on technical project management across parallel workstreams – planning, sequencing, dependency and interface management, and risk-based delivery control.
• Lead the client-side implementation team through rollout, managing the transition from vendor-led delivery to owner-led implementation.
• Establish and enforce data and controls standards to ensure consistency across projects and systems as the platform scales.
• Formulate program controls processes to monitor scope, cost, schedule, contract, risk, quality, and performance across the rolled-out portfolio.
• Lead organizational change management (OCM) across a complex operating environment.
• Prepare and present progress, risk, and stage-gate reports to program and executive leadership.
• Identify delivery risks and implement mitigation and contingency strategies.

Remote: This role allows for remote work for the majority of your work hours. There is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities.
