You Are

As an Associate Director Cloud Functional Lead within Accenture Cloud First, you own the functional Supply Chain leadership of complex, enterprise‑wide cloud transformation programs powered by Google Cloud. We are seeking a visionary functional leader to architect the future of our Global Supply Chain using Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

The Work

In this role, you will move beyond traditional analytics to build an Agentic Supply Chain—one where AI doesn’t just predict disruptions but autonomously acts to mitigate them.

You will bridge the gap between supply chain business process owners and GCP engineering teams, leveraging the Google Cloud Cortex Framework, BigQuery, and Vertex AI to unify data, deploy GenAI agents, and drive autonomous decision-making across planning, logistics, and fulfillment.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Transformation

• Define the roadmap for the "Autonomous Supply Chain," transitioning from reactive dashboards to proactive, agent-based workflows.

• Act as the primary translator between Supply Chain Operations (Planning, Source, Make, Deliver) and the Cloud Engineering/Data Science teams.

• Identify high-value use cases for GenAI and Agentic AI (e.g., autonomous procurement negotiation, self-correcting inventory balancing, predictive maintenance).

Data Foundation (GCP Cortex & BigQuery)

• Lead the functional adoption of the Google Cloud Cortex Framework to accelerate data integration from ERPs (SAP, Oracle) into BigQuery.

• Champion a "Data Mesh" architecture where supply chain domains own their data products, ensuring real-time visibility and governance.

• Oversee the harmonization of external signals (weather, geopolitical risk, supplier financial health) into the enterprise data foundation.

Agentic AI & GenAI Implementation

• Design and deploy Vertex AI Agents responsible for specific functional tasks (e.g., a "Logistics Agent" that re-routes shipments based on port congestion data without human intervention).

• Implement Multi-Agent Systems where different AI agents (Inventory Agent, Sales Agent, Procurement Agent) collaborate to optimize trade-offs between service levels and cost.

• Leverage Gemini models to create conversational interfaces, allowing non-technical supply chain planners to query data using natural language (e.g., "Show me the impact of the Rotterdam strike on Q3 inventory").

Process Innovation

• Redesign core S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) processes to include AI-driven scenario planning and "self-healing" supply chain capabilities.

• Drive the "Human-in-the-loop" strategy, defining thresholds for where AI Agents act autonomously vs. where they require human approval.

Stakeholder Management

• Act as the primary liaison between business units and technical teams. Conduct workshops and presentations to gather requirements and provide solution updates.

Governance & Compliance

• Ensure adherence to organizational cloud governance frameworks, security standards, and regulatory requirements.

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.
