Transformation lead - Brussels, Picard 11 | Accenture Job

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?

• 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
