Transformation lead

Do you want to help leading Belgian and international companies transform how they design, develop and bring products to market?

Do you combine a solid engineering background with a passion for business transformation? Are you energised by working at the intersection of product development, digital technology and operational excellence — helping clients move faster, smarter and more sustainably?

Your job

As an Engineering and R&D Transformation Lead within our Supply Chain & Engineering practice, you will own and lead client engagements that help product companies reinvent their engineering and R&D functions. You will work across industries including Consumer Goods, Industrial Equipment, Automotive and Pharma & Life Sciences — acting as a trusted advisor to client leadership, defining their transformation roadmap and delivering tangible results.

Examples of projects you can work on:

PLM transformation: assess a client's product lifecycle management maturity, define the future-state architecture and lead the implementation of PLM platforms (Teamcenter, Windchill, ENOVIA, Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE) to improve product data management and engineering efficiency

R&D operating model design: help a manufacturer redesign their R&D organisation, processes and governance to reduce time-to-market and improve innovation portfolio management

Digital twin & simulation: support clients in building digital representations of their products or production systems to accelerate engineering decisions and reduce physical prototyping

BOM and product data management: define and implement end-to-end BOM structures, engineering change processes and configuration management frameworks

Engineering transformation: lead current-state and future-state analysis of engineering and product development processes, and guide the design and implementation of improved operating models

In this role you will:

Own client engagements end-to-end — from diagnostic and solution design through to delivery and value realisation

Serve as a trusted advisor to client engineering and product leadership teams

Define functional solution designs that leverage PLM and digital engineering capabilities

Own requirements, process models and user stories across one or more engineering workstreams

Guide development of digital thread and PLM strategies and roadmaps

Facilitate and lead executive-level and working-level workshops to drive alignment and decision-making

Lead and mentor junior team members, providing functional guidance and career development support

Support proposal development and contribute to growing our Engineering offering in Belgium

Collaborate with Accenture's international Engineering network to bring the best expertise to Belgian clients
