AI & Data Utilities Leader

Accenture Data & AI — the people who love using data to tell a story. We're the world's largest team of data scientists and experts in machine learning and AI. A great day for us means solving big problems using the latest tech, serious brain power, and deep knowledge of just about every industry. We believe a mix of data, analytics, automation, and responsible AI can do almost anything — spark digital reinvention, widen the range of what humans can do, and breathe life into smart products and services.

In the Public Sector, we partner with government agencies, crown corporations, and public institutions to drive meaningful, citizen-centred transformation. We bring the full depth of Accenture's AI and data capabilities to solve complex challenges that matter at a societal scale.

You Are: A thought leader and practitioner at the intersection of AI strategy and data delivery — As a senior leader in the Data & AI practice, you will coach and mentor up-and-coming leaders, guide diverse multi-disciplinary teams, and help clients embed AI and data capabilities as a lasting part of their organisational culture — with a strong focus on responsible AI, data governance, and public trust.

As a Senior Leader in Accenture’s Data &AI practice, you will lead the strategy, design, and scaled delivery of AI & Data solutions for Utilities industry and clients. You will build reusable data/AI capabilities—covering ingestion, orchestration, governance, data products, analytics enablement, and model/AI lifecycle—so clients can accelerate time-to-value while meeting enterprise-grade requirements for security, privacy, quality, and responsible AI. The Utilities industry is at the center of the largest infrastructure transformation in a generation—the collision of decarbonization, unprecedented load growth from electrification and data centers, grid resilience against extreme weather events, affordability and regulatory pressure, and the shift to distributed, digitized, AI-enabled operations. You will own the Data & AI agenda for our Utilities portfolio across Canada, personally leading the most consequential CxO relationships, and set the pace for how the portfolio grows, delivers and shows up in the market.
