Accenture helps the world's leading enterprises reinvent by building their digital core and unleashing the power of AI to create value at speed and scale. We are a talent- and innovation-led company with approximately 799,000 people serving clients in more than 120 countries.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact practice with strong momentum and a clear path to Managing Director for high performers.

About the role:

The Value Architect is the analytical engine of the Reinvention Force. This role builds and owns the financial models, value cases, and AI impact quantification that underpin every transformation engagement. Value Architects are embedded in each engagement — focused on identifying and sizing value opportunities and tracking and reporting value realization.

The work:

• Define value KPIs for each transformation program and ensure teams apply business process standards from the Process Blueprint Lead
• Build the value identification framework mapping each reinvention initiative to specific, quantified business outcomes (FTE capacity, cost, revenue, cycle time)
• Develop and maintain financial models covering investment, value, timeline, and risk — keeping them current as engagements evolve
• Produce value realization reports tracking actual outcomes against the business case and surfacing early signals of delivery success or risk
• Support preparation of C-suite and Board-level materials translating quantitative analysis into clear executive narrative
• Apply the Wharton economic value model and Accenture's Reinvention Roadmap to size opportunity across speed to market, capacity, decision quality, and experience dimensions
