Job DescriptionJob Description: Technology Transformation & Delivery Consultant
Location: London, Manchester, Edinburgh
Career Level: Consultant (ML9)
About the teamTechnology Strategy & Transformation leads at the intersection of business and technology, driving client value through AI, technology and data. Within it, Technology Transformation & Delivery is the control tower for complex execution: we deliver transformation at speed and scale for COO and CIO clients running technology modernisation, AI integration, data platform transformation and complex integration or divestment.
- Transformation Delivery: delivery leaders embedded in our clients' most complex programmes, providing execution leadership, risk management and value tracking from initiation to go-live.
- Transformation Office: establishing and running the governance, planning and controls framework that keeps a complex portfolio aligned, using AI-driven programme intelligence to surface risks early and give leadership accurate visibility of progress and value.
The transformation office is being reinvented. Reporting assembled by hand is becoming automated; risk found in a weekly forum is being surfaced by models reading delivery data live; plans maintained manually are being tested against simulation. We are building the AI-led methods, playbooks and reinvention offices behind that shift. Consultants joining now will help build how we work, not just execute it.
The role:You will be hands-on inside a client transformation office or delivery team, running the governance, planning, risk and reporting engine that keeps a large transformation on track. You will own discrete areas of a workstream with support from a Manager or Senior Manager, and you will be the person who makes the plan, the risk picture and the reporting credible. Where that work is currently manual, we expect you to be looking for how it shouldn't be.
This role is industry agnostic at point of hire. You will work across Health & Public Services, Products, Resources, Financial Services and Communications, Media & Technology. Where you bring industry depth we will use it; where you don't, we will help you build it.
The workEngagements vary and no two Consultants do the same job. The areas below run across the practice; you will typically focus on two or three at a time and build breadth as you move between clients.
- Transformation office delivery: running the operating rhythm of a programme or workstream, from planning cycles to governance forums.
- Risk and dependency management: owning the risk picture, driving resolution, and escalating with a recommendation rather than a flag.
- Programme intelligence and reporting: building automated reporting and dashboards that give leadership a live, trusted view of progress, risk and value.
- Integrated planning: maintaining plans across multiple workstreams and vendors, keeping cross-dependencies visible and current.
- Value tracking: measuring and reporting whether the value case is landing as the programme progresses.
- Change management and business readiness: supporting the organisation through the human side of transformation, from stakeholder engagement to adoption and embedding.
- AI-led ways of working: applying AI and automation to delivery - including agentic methods and Digital Twin design - and contributing to the industrialised accelerators the practice is building.
QualificationWhat we're looking forEssential- Delivery experience within a transformation office or programme environment, on technology-enabled transformation.
- Working knowledge of integrated planning, risk and issue management, governance and executive reporting.
- Strong analytical skills: comfortable finding the story in programme data and presenting it to a senior audience.
- Interest in how AI changes delivery, with evidence you have started applying it.
- Hands-on with at least one delivery or reporting toolset (Power BI, Power Platform, Azure DevOps, Jira, Clarity or similar).
- Confident communicator, comfortable operating in ambiguity.
Desirable- Agile, waterfall and hybrid delivery exposure.
- Building automated or low-code solutions to replace manual delivery processes.
- Business readiness, benefits tracking or process reengineering experience.
- Certification such as PRINCE2, MSP, P3O, APM, Scrum or SAFe.
- Consulting experience, or client-side delivery alongside a consulting partner.
What we offer- A practice being rebuilt around AI-led delivery, with real scope to shape how it operates.
- Our most complex client programmes, and a clear path to Manager.
- Continuous learning, including Accenture's AI and delivery capability programmes.
