This expansion underscores Accenture's commitment to fostering innovation to drive enterprise transformation for Public Sector clients in Greece and abroad. The new Global team will synergize with the existing AI team to solve Accenture’s clients’ toughest challenges across geographies and across industries.

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).

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

Understanding of EU and public sector regulatory and policy environments, with the ability to connect compliance requirements to transformation initiatives.

WHO WE´RE LOOKING FOR? Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, Engineering, Business, Economics, Public Administration, Political Science, or related disciplines.
