AI Forward Deployed Engineering Manager | Sales ReInvention

$80.4k - $316.3k
Full-time

Accenture

We are:

Accenture Song accelerates growth and value for our clients through sustained customer relevance. Our capabilities span ideation to execution: growth, product and experience design; technology and experience platforms; creative, media and marketing strategy; and campaign, content and channel orchestration. With strong client relationships and deep industry expertise, we help our clients operate at the speed of life through the unlimited potential of imagination, technology and intelligence. Visit us at:

About the Role

We are building out practitioners within our Song – Sales practice: AI Forward Deployed Engineers who embed directly with clients to design, prototype, and deploy Agentic AI solutions that transform how our clients sell, serve, and operate. You will partner closely with our Sales teams to win new business, land at client sites to uncover opportunity, and stay to build solutions that deliver measurable ROI.

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct client-facing discovery to identify and prioritize AI use cases with the highest commercial impact

  • Design Agentic AI architectures and build rapid prototypes to demonstrate value before full engagement

  • Collaborate with Sales to develop business cases, executive presentations, and RFP responses

  • Lead on-site AI workshops and co-creation sessions with client leadership and technical teams

  • Own the technical solution end to end — from first meeting through prototype, production rollout, adoption, and operational handoff

  • Integrate AI agents with client enterprise systems, data platforms, and workflows

  • Harden solutions for production — testing, evals, observability, and cost/latency/safety trade-offs — so they run reliably after handoff

  • Establish AI governance standards and ensure responsible deployment at client environments

  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to internal AI capability building

What We’re Looking For (Basic Qualifications):

  • 5+ years in a client-facing technical or engineering role with experience supporting Sales & Revenue Processes and Platforms.

  • 3+ years of experience record building AI or LLM-powered applications in production. Candidates should have strong production engineering skills — Python and/or TypeScript, APIs and integrations, testing, and deployment — plus hands-on modern AI/ML tooling.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Ability to communicate across the spectrum from developer to C-suite

  • A portfolio of real-world AI projects or deployed solutions

Why This Role

  • You'll do work few people can — shipping production Agentic AI and owning the client relationship at the same time, a scarce hybrid skill set in high demand across AI labs, enterprise SaaS, and consulting

  • High visibility, high impact — your work goes live at clients and drives measurable ROI, not into a backlog

  • Direct exposure to frontier models and platforms through partnerships with Anthropic, OpenAI, Agentforce, and the major clouds

  • Build reusable assets, accelerators, and playbooks that scale your impact across engagements — feeding a field-to-product learning loop that shapes what we build next

Compensation at Accenture varies depending on a wide array of factors, which may include but are not limited to the specific office location, role, skill set, and level of experience. As required by local law, Accenture provides a reasonable range of compensation for roles that may be hired as set forth below. We anticipate this job posting will be posted until 11/01/2026. Accenture offers a market competitive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability coverage, a 401(k) plan, bonus opportunities, paid holidays, and paid time off.
