Within Accenture Song sits AI & Data, the practice that builds the data-led intelligence behind the customer work. Song AI & Data helps organisations unlock value from data, analytics and AI by creating more relevant, personalised and effective customer experiences. Our expertise spans customer insight, data strategy and platforms, advanced analytics, performance optimisation, and AI (including generative AI and agentic AI) transformation.

You will join the Song AI & Data UK practice, within the AI & Modelling Craft: a community of data scientists, AI engineers, modellers and solution architects focused on applying AI, machine learning and advanced analytics to solve customer and growth challenges.
