Visit us at accenture.com . #LI-EU As a Senior Manager in Communications, Media & Technology (CMT) within the Industry & Experience (I&E) practice, you will operate as a Reinvention Partner — a trusted, senior advisor to CMT clients who is personally accountable for helping them reinvent boldly, continuously and at speed. This is a role with genuine breadth and weight, demanding excellence across three equally important dimensions: originating and shaping client opportunity, leading complex transformation delivery, and building and developing high-performing teams. You will bring deep CMT industry expertise together with a command of the reinvention agenda — including AI-led transformation, digital operating model redesign, and enterprise-wide change — to drive outcomes that are measurable, sustained and meaningful. 1. Client Engagement & Origination Serve as a Reinvention Partner to senior CMT client stakeholders — building relationships that go beyond the engagement to become a trusted advisor on their reinvention agenda. Identify, shape and convert opportunities that address clients' most pressing transformation priorities: from AI and data strategy to digital core modernisation, customer experience reinvention and operating model redesign. Contribute meaningfully to account strategy and commercial growth, leading or supporting proposal development with a clear, differentiated CMT point of view. Represent Accenture's I&E CMT capability in the market — at client forums, industry events, and through thought leadership. 2. Transformation Delivery Lead end-to-end delivery of large, complex transformation programmes across CMT clients, maintaining full accountability for pace, quality, client satisfaction, and commercial performance. Apply structured problem-solving and a genuine reinvention mindset to challenges spanning AI adoption, core technology modernisation, workforce transformation, and cross-functional operational change. Work seamlessly across Accenture's Reinvention Engines — including AI & Data, Technology, and Industry & Process — to bring the best of the firm to every engagement. Maintain rigorous delivery governance and risk management, ensuring engagements stay on track and deliver the outcomes clients signed up for. 3. People & Talent Leadership Lead, coach and actively develop the talent within your teams — creating conditions where people are stretched, supported and set up to grow. Act as a people sponsor and mentor within the CMT and I&E community, contributing to performance management, talent reviews, and career development conversations. Foster an inclusive, high-performance culture that reflects Accenture's values and its commitment to growing the next generation of Reinvention Partners. Be visible and present as a leader — not just on your engagements, but in the broader practice community.
