We Are :

Accenture is recognized as a global leader in AI and cloud transformation, helping businesses across industries reimagine the digital core for an AI-native operating model. Through partnerships with frontier AI labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI, and the leading cloud providers, Accenture delivers end-to-end services that drive innovation and business agility.

The Digital Core Reinvention practice builds the knowledge structures that make AI answers reliable. Our distinctive angle: scalpel-precision ontologies co-evolved with specific client builds — knowledge layers scoped to the business problem, engineered so agents can look up and reason over trusted enterprise meaning.

You Are:

An engineer who believes agents need meaning, not just data — fluent across the knowledge-graph lifecycle and most at home when an ontology is shaped against a real business problem rather than modeled in the abstract.

You belong here even if you haven't spent years in AI. Much of what makes a great practitioner in this work was learned somewhere adjacent — strong credentials in the neighboring discipline plus a year or two of serious hands-on work with LLM-based systems is exactly the profile we grow.

The Work:

At the Manager grade you lead the ontology work on a single engagement: schema and taxonomy design, knowledge-graph construction, retrieval-augmented generation over the resulting corpus, and the agent context engineering that makes the knowledge consumable (all four are named skills on this family's W16 matrix).

At the Senior Manager grade you hold authority across engagements and shape the method. We assess that fit at interview, not at requisition.

This is a joint posting covering Manager (CL7) and Senior Manager (CL6) grades, with Accenture's one-level lift at the firm's discretion.

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Here's what you need:

• •Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in knowledge engineering, semantic web, ontology design, or taxonomy/data modeling, with at least 1–2 years specifically on AI/LLM-based work.
• •Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience with knowledge graph technologies, including RDF, SPARQL, property graphs, and/or SHACL, and graph databases such as Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, or equivalent.
• •AI-adjacent experience counts toward the bars above: strong credentials in the neighboring discipline combined with 1–2 years of hands-on LLM work is exactly the profile we grow.
• •Minimum of 1 year of experience with retrieval-augmented generation and agent context engineering in production or near-production contexts.
• •Minimum of 2 years leading a team or workstream within a larger program.
• •Minimum of 5 years of experience working in agile engineering or consulting teams.
• •Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate's Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience).

Bonus Points If You Have:

• •Entity-resolution experience at enterprise scale.
• •Experience co-designing ontologies with engineering teams mid-build rather than delivering them as documents.
• •Vector-store fluency (Qdrant, Pinecone, or equivalent) alongside the graph stack.

• Compensation at Accenture varies depending on a wide array of factors, which may include but are not limited to the specific office location, role, skill set, and level of experience. As required by local law, Accenture provides a reasonable range of compensation for roles that may be hired as set forth below.
• We anticipate this job posting will be posted until 12/04/2026.

Accenture offers a market competitive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability coverage, a 401(k) plan, bonus opportunities, paid holidays, and paid time off. See more information on our benefits here:
