Accenture is a leading global professional services company, providing a broad range of services in strategy and consulting, interactive, technology and operations, with digital capabilities across all of these services.

With our thought leadership and culture of innovation, we apply industry expertise, diverse skill sets and next-generation technology to each business challenge.

We are recruiting for an experienced and dynamic technologist to join the Insurance Architecture team within Accenture’s UK Insurance & Financial Services Industry and Enterprise practice, helping to grow and develop our digital architecture capability.

“Across the globe, one thing is universally true of the people of

Accenture: We care deeply about what we do and the impact we have with our clients and with the communities in which we work and live.

• It is personal to all of us.” –
• Julie Sweet, Accenture CEO
• As a team

Insurance Architecture is the dedicated digital architecture and technology team within Accenture’s UK Insurance & Financial Services Industry and Enterprise practice.

We act as the “Office of the CTO” for our clients: a small, high-impact group of senior architects and technologists who shape and assure complex digital change for some of the UK’s leading insurers, life offices, wealth managers and platform providers.

Our work spans General Insurance, Life, Pensions & Investments, London Markets, Capital Markets and the wider Financial Services market, with rapidly growing focus on AI, Gen AI and agentic solutions applied across the insurance and financial services value chain.

We organise ourselves around capability groups – covering Solution Architecture; Enterprise Architecture & System Design; ML, AI & Gen AI; Data Architecture; Cyber Security; and Cloud & Infrastructure.

These groups operate as craft circles: places where members deepen their expertise, share knowledge, develop our collective point of view, and back each other up on client engagements.

Each of us develops depth in one or more areas while remaining versatile across the rest, so we can flex quickly onto client work with both depth and resilience.

We were recently recognised by the Financial Times as one of the UK’s leading Management Consultants in Insurance.
