Role Title: Data Engineering Senior Manager (Palantir)
Location: London, UK
Salary: Competitive salary and package dependent on experience
Level: Senior Manager
About Decho (part of Accenture)Accenture Palantir Business Group (APBG) is a deep data and AI group founded on an innate desire to create real‑world change. We are consulting engineers with a purpose, offering a boots‑on‑the‑ground approach to complex public and private sector challenges. As a trusted Palantir partner we help our clients to extract the most value from their technology. We are working at the cutting edge of Palantir technology and harnessing its capabilities with purpose. Our teams are united in their mission to be drivers of positive change in the world’s most influential organisations, including the defence, infrastructure and public safety sectors, empowering institutions to unlock their full potential.
The Role
As a Senior Managing Engineer – Forward Deployed / Data Engineering Senior Manager, you will operate with high individual, team and client ownership. You will be accountable for the strategy across your deployed client engagement, leading a team of engineers who design solutions that unify complex data landscapes, build workflows that drive smarter decisions, and partner with organisations to deliver sustainable transformation. Working directly with your clients, you will be the face of AOBG, requiring a unique blend of high emotional intelligence (EQ) and technical mastery to navigate complex environments and drive programme outcomes. You and your team will have creative freedom to architect solutions, working iteratively to build fast, demonstrate your work to clients, and refine it based on real‑time feedback.
What You’ll Do
- Strategic Delivery: Take full ownership of client problem set discovery and business analysis. Accountable for strategic advisory, programme design, horizon mapping and change management. Significant ownership of enduring and successful relationships with clients.
- End‑to‑End Delivery: Lead your deployment team to drive overarching ownership of client problems, handling everything from deep data engineering—using low/no‑code Palantir Foundry tooling, Python and PySpark code repos—to building user‑facing front‑end applications and widgets in TypeScript or React.
- Lead Client Advisory: Sit directly alongside clients, goals and requirements and translate complex technical language into stakeholder‑appropriate communication.
- AI Integration: Actively embed AI workflows into existing applications using cutting‑edge tools such as AIP Logic Functions, AIP Analysts, and AIFDE.
- APBG/Decho Labs Innovation: Contribute to APBG/Decho Labs to build tangible internal products. Feed your deployment learnings back into the company so our teams can learn from your success and create compounding assets of value for internal and client use.
- Innate Collaboration: Manage project team, drive self‑assignment of taskings, actively participate in our “show and tell” culture through teachbacks and tech reviews, and uplift your peers and the wider APBG/Decho community through highly active internal support channels.
What We Are Looking For
- Strategic mindset: Demonstrate an exceptional level of client relationship management, aligning with high‑level decision makers, alongside strong technical understanding and natural leadership.
- Problem Solvers: Value individuals who can navigate nuanced client environments. Prefer the ability to decompose complex use cases and architect solutions over rote memorisation of coding syntax.
- Fluency in core languages (Python, SQL, TypeScript and/or React) and the capability to pick up others quickly. You should understand data engineering principles, ETL pipelines, and application development.
- Familiarity with Palantir (Foundry, Gotham, or similar) is preferred but not mandatory, provided you have a strong willingness to learn.
- High EQ & Curiosity: The emotional intelligence to manage client expectations, a proactive self‑starting nature, and the humility to know you don’t know everything and seek help.
- Impact‑Driven Communication: The ability to drive a team to present impressive demos, simplify complexity for non‑technical users, and focus on delivering genuine client impact.
We foster an open, low‑ego culture built on merit, where professional strides are formalised through weekly all‑company sessions. All levels of our business are highly visible and accessible to everyone. We have a vibrant engineering community that connects through regular socials and interest‑based Slack communities, creating opportunities to learn from one another and share what we love outside of work.
Flexibility and mobility are required, as there will be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery of first‑class services.
Accenture reserves the right to close the role prior to this date should a suitable applicant be found.
