Finance AI & Agentic ERP Senior Manager

Career level: Senior Manager (CL6) |
Location: London / Manchester / Edinburgh |
Practice: Finance Reinvention Partner (Platform Transformation)

The major ERP platforms embed AI end to end, and the conversation with finance leaders is moving from what the system records to what it can decide, draft and settle on its own. The design questions underneath are the hard part: what an agent is allowed to do to a journal, where the control sits, what a close looks like when exceptions are the only thing a person touches.

You would answer those questions for our clients, on the large-scale, business-led finance platform transformations the practice delivers. You'll build a credible point of view on agentic and autonomous ERP for finance and take it to CFOs, finance directors, CIOs, CTOs and programme leadership as something they can buy. Alongside our Platforms leadership you'll build the offering behind it, set the standard others deliver to, and own the finance design where AI meets the ledger and has to hold up in audit.

Accenture is a leading solutions and services company. Our strategy is to be the reinvention partner of choice for our clients and lead in the safe, widespread adoption of AI. We bring together our people, deep industry expertise and technology to deliver end-to-end outcomes for clients — and Finance is one of seven Reinvention Partners at the centre of that. Finance RP brings the CFO agenda to life for clients — stronger performance, sharper insight, and better control.

"As AI reshapes every industry, our clients want a partner that can help them reinvent—boldly, continuously and  Reinvention Services leaders bring together the full breadth of Accenture to create solutions to our clients' most complex problems and deliver more value faster, while continuously building the most client-focused, AI-enabled great place to work for our people—our Reinventors." — Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO

Designing AI into finance on ERP. You've designed and delivered enterprise AI inside finance and ERP transformation, taking solutions into live operation and keeping them there. You know the AI layer of at least one major ERP ecosystem as an architect rather than a user: the copilots, the agent runtimes, the platform services agents are built on, and what each of them can and can't yet do.

You design agentic workflows for finance processes, deciding what runs autonomously, what runs by exception, and where a person keeps the decision. You set the governance, traceability and controls that make the output defensible to a finance function and to an auditor. You know what it takes to move something from a convincing demonstration to governed production, because that is where this work stalls.

You also know where AI can sit in a platform's architecture without compromising a clean core.

Finance and ERP depth. You bring real finance design expertise on a major enterprise finance platform, whether SAP S/4

HANA Finance, Oracle Cloud ERP or comparable, and across the finance spine an agent has to operate inside: the general ledger and the subledgers, period-end close and consolidation, intercompany, management and statutory reporting, finance master data, and controls by design. You own the question an agentic design turns on: what the agent should do with the journal entry. You can hold the conversation with a CFO or a controller about what the numbers mean, and what would have to be true for them to trust a machine to produce them.

The platform matters less than the judgement you bring.

Shaping and winning the work. You originate the work as well as deliver it. You build relationships with finance and technology leaders, spot where…
