- Provide security expertise across areas such as Identity & Access Management, roles and authorisations, Privileged Access Management, Segregation of Duties, and security governance and controls.
- Translate security risks, requirements and business needs into pragmatic recommendations aligned with the wider enterprise transformation.
- Contribute to the development of target-state security operating models, governance structures and transformation roadmaps, providing subject-matter input from your assigned area.
- Work closely with workstream leads, client stakeholders, functional and technical teams, and other security specialists to manage dependencies and embed security throughout the transformation.
- Produce high-quality client deliverables including assessments, presentations, designs, recommendations and implementation plans, and present findings clearly to business and technical audiences.
- Take responsibility for the quality and timely delivery of assigned activities, proactively identifying risks, issues and dependencies and escalating where appropriate.
- Provide day-to-day guidance to analysts and junior team members, reviewing outputs and supporting high-quality delivery.
- Support business case development and clearly communicate the value of security investments and transformation initiatives to stakeholders.
- Build strong working relationships with client stakeholders and project teams.
- Contribute to proposals, client discussions, thought leadership and the continued growth of Accenture's Security Transformation capabilities.

- Experience in cyber security, technology consulting or business and technology transformation programmes, with demonstrable exposure to SAP and/or Oracle environments.
- Experience in one or more areas of SAP and/or Oracle security, such as Identity & Access Management, roles and authorisations, Privileged Access Management, Segregation of Duties, security controls or governance.
- Experience contributing to SAP S/4HANA, SAP cloud transformation, Oracle Cloud/ERP or other large-scale enterprise application transformation programmes would be advantageous.
- Experience assessing current-state security capabilities and translating findings into target-state requirements, designs, recommendations and transformation plans.
- Experience taking ownership of a defined area within a larger programme or workstream, coordinating activities and delivering outcomes with limited supervision.
- Strong understanding of security risks and controls associated with enterprise applications and the business processes they support.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify issues, assess options and develop practical recommendations.
