Job Title: AI Security Architect
Salary: Competitive salary and package (Depending on level of experience)
Locations: London/ Manchester (must be willing to travel to client sites throughout the UK on an ad hoc basis)
Please Note: Any offer of employment is subject to satisfactory BPSS and SC security clearance which requires 5 years continuous UK address history (typically including no periods of 30 consecutive days or more spent outside of the UK) at the point of application.
We are looking for a AI Security Architect to join Accenture’s Secure AI practice, working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cyber security.

You will work directly with clients to shape opportunities, architect solutions, and bring Accenture’s market-leading capabilities to bear on their most complex challenges — whether that means deploying AI to strengthen cyber defence, or embedding security into AI pipelines, infrastructure, and governance frameworks from the ground up.
A key dimension of this role is Identity and Access Management. You will advise clients on applying AI to modernise IAM — including intelligent access governance, anomalous behaviour detection, AI-driven privileged access controls, and identity threat detection and response (ITDR) — and on securing the identities within AI systems themselves, including machine identities, non-human principals, and access to models, training data, and inference endpoints.
You will combine deep security architecture expertise with a strong commercial mindset, contributing to pursuits, bids, and thought leadership that differentiate Accenture in the market.
As an AI Security Architect you will:
Key focus: Positioning Accenture as the partner of choice for clients looking to harness AI for security and build trustworthy, secure AI at scale — with identity as a critical control plane across both.
