Bus & Technology Delivery Assoc Manager

Job Description

Technology Delivery Lead Associate Manager

Role Location: Belfast

Salary: Competitive (based on experience)

Level: Accenture will be hiring at Associate Manager level

Any offer of employment is subject to satisfactory BPSS and SC security clearance which requires 5 years continuous UK address history (typically including no periods of 30 consecutive days or more spent outside of the UK) at the point of application.

What You’ll Do

• Drive delivery of high‑quality technology transformation programmes, on time and on budget
• Lead multi‑functional, geographically distributed engineering teams across the full delivery lifecycle — design, build, test, and deploy
• Coach and develop your team, creating an environment where AI tooling and modern engineering practices are adopted thoughtfully and with measurable impact
• Act as a trusted technology delivery partner for clients — bridging the gap between engineering reality and business expectations
• Actively contribute to technical decisions — evaluating architectural trade‑offs, build versus buy options, and their downstream impact on delivery risk and pace
• Use AI‑assisted planning tools to improve estimation accuracy, forecast risks earlier, and drive more data‑informed sprint and programme decisions
• Develop and manage end‑to‑end delivery plans across Agile, Scaled Agile, Kanban, and Waterfall methodologies
• Proactively manage Risk, Assumptions, Issues, and Dependencies (RAID) — using AI tooling to surface patterns and predict blockers before they land
• Lead governance, stakeholder reporting, and budgetary control with clarity and accountability
• Champion AI‑enabled delivery practices within your teams — from AI‑assisted backlog refinement and sprint forecasting to automated status reporting and retrospective insight
• Stay ahead of where engineering delivery is going — agentic development, AI in the SDLC, DevSecOps, platform engineering — and bring those practices into your programmes
• Drive a culture of continuous improvement, where teams are empowered to experiment, iterate, and raise the bar on how software is built and shipped
• Contribute to Accenture’s engineering delivery community, sharing what works and influencing practice at scale

Qualifications

• Proven track record of successfully leading end‑to‑end technology delivery programmes at scale, including budget ownership
• Strong engineering background — able to actively engage in technical design, architecture, and solution decisions, not just translate between teams
• Solid experience across Agile (Scrum, Kanban, Scaled Agile/SAFe) and Waterfall delivery methodologies
• Experienced people leader — able to build, motivate, and develop high‑performing, cross‑functional engineering teams
• Excellent stakeholder management skills — confident engaging senior client and internal leaders on both technical and commercial dimensions
• Strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple priorities and workstreams simultaneously
• Hands‑on user of AI‑enabled delivery tooling who actively champions adoption across their teams — able to speak concretely to how it has changed the way you plan, report, and lead

AI‑Enabled Engineering Leadership (Essential at CL8)

• Practical experience using AI tools to improve delivery outcomes — e.g. AI‑assisted risk identification, sprint forecasting, reporting automation, or retrospective analysis
• Ability to coach teams on responsible and effective use of AI in a delivery context, maintaining human judgement and accountability on high‑stakes decisions
• Awareness of AI’s evolving role in the SDLC — from AI‑assisted code generation and testing through to agentic workflows and autonomous delivery tooling
• Understanding of where AI adds genuine value in engineering delivery — and where human oversight remains essential

Set Yourself Apart

• Proven ability to manage complex multi‑vendor or multi‑team delivery environments
• Experience influencing senior stakeholders and navigating organisational complexity
• Demonstrable knowledge of modern engineering practices — DevSecOps, SRE, platform engineering, modern architecture
• Relevant Cloud and Delivery certifications (e.g. SAFe, AWS, PMP, Prince2)
• Strong Technical and Emotional Quotient — able to hold both the engineering depth and the human dimensions of delivery

Benefits

• Competitive basic salary
• 25 days of vacation per year
• Access to app‑based fitness classes and discounts on a range of gyms
• Private medical insurance
• Three days leave per year for charitable work of your choice
• Flexibility and mobility required to deliver this role to deliver the first‑class services we are known for
