Life Sciences - Process Blueprint Senior Manager

We are:

Accenture helps the world's leading enterprises reinvent by building their digital core and unleashing the power of AI to create value at speed and scale. We are a talent- and innovation-led company with approximately 799,000 people serving clients in more than 120 countries.

Accenture's Life Sciences Reinventive Enterprise practice leads AI-driven enterprise transformation at the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations.  We deploy the Reinvention Force: a human + AI team of Transformers, Workforce Architects, and AI & Data Innovators that makes reinvention real at enterprise scale.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact practice with strong momentum and a clear path to Managing Director for high performers.

About the role:

The Process Blueprint Lead owns the methodology and standards for how processes are redesigned across all transformation programs. This role is the primary design thinker for the engagement — mapping how work gets done today, designing the future-state human + AI operating model, and ensuring every reinvention initiative builds to a consistent, high-quality blueprint. This role sits at the intersection of business design and AI enablement.

You are:

A strategic leader and trusted advisor with deep Life Sciences expertise. You are a structured problem solver with extensive consulting and industry experience. You communicate clearly and credibly with C-suite executives. You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and know how to lead a team while staying close to the work. You have driven business development and built lasting client relationships. You bring energy, resilience, and a genuine passion for building something new.

The work:

• Own the methodology and standards for designing human + AI processes across all transformation workstreams, ensuring every pod follows a consistent approach before any technology is built
• Lead current-state process assessments across the engagement scope — understanding how work actually gets done, where friction exists, and what the data shows about productivity and capacity gaps
• Design the future-state operating model including human + AI process flows, role definition changes, and governance structures
• Facilitate cross-functional alignment workshops with client's functional leaders, driving to clear design decisions without losing rigor
• Own the Process Blueprint as the primary deliverable that defines the reinvented operating model and foundations for all execution workstreams
• Partner with Value Architects and AI & Data Innovators to ensure blueprints map to quantified value and are technically executable

Candidates must have at least 8 years of combined experience in the following areas:

• Enterprise process redesign or operating model transformation at a top-tier consulting firm or leading Life Sciences organization, with demonstrated experience designing future-state operating models — not just documenting what exists.
• A proven track record facilitating senior stakeholder workshops and driving alignment across functional leaders with competing priorities on large-scale transformation programs.
• Experience designing human + AI process flows, governance structures, and ways of working for enterprise transformation programs.
• Strong understanding of how agentic AI, automation, and AI-enabled workflows are reshaping Life Sciences functional operations (commercial, Life Sciences enterprise, regulatory, manufacturing, or supply chain).
• Experience working across cross-functional teams including technologists, data engineers, and change practitioners.
  • Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally as client and business needs require.

Preferred skills:

• MBA or advanced degree in a relevant discipline.
• Hands-on experience using AI prototyping tools (e.g., Claude, GPT-4, or equivalent) to model future-state workflows before technology build commences.
• Certification in process design, Lean Six Sigma, process mining (Celonis or equivalent), or design thinking.
• Track record developing process methodology frameworks or reusable transformation assets at a top-tier consulting firm.
• Experience operating across multiple Life Sciences functional areas and geographies.
