• Work with data exploration, preparation, and visualization to generate insights that inform strategic and operational decisions.

• Contribute to model assessment, dashboard creation, and performance tracking, while keeping focus on the business implications.

• Actively participate in knowledge sharing, internal capability building, and cross-border collaboration with Accenture teams.

• Develop skills on cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and modern AI tools, while building consulting capabilities in public sector transformation and enterprise change.

Preferred Experience:

• Foundational knowledge of cloud and AI concepts, with exposure to at least one major platform (e.g., Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud).

• Interest in project management methodologies like Scrum, Lean Six Sigma, or Agile; any coursework or certifications (e.g., CAPM, PRINCE2 Foundation) are a plus.

• Familiarity with platforms such as Databricks, IBM Watson Studio, or other AI/ML tools through academic projects or internships.

• Awareness of AI governance concepts or participation in university-led AI ethics discussions or readiness assessments.
