AI Security (Senior) Manager – Architecture/Deliver

Lead with expertise, drive innovation. Are you an experienced professional ready to take your career to the next level? At Accenture the Netherlands, we're seeking AI Security (Senior) Manager who bring deep technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a passion for innovation to help us solve complex challenges and deliver exceptional results. AI security is where cybersecurity is being redefined, and Accenture intends to lead it – backed by a strategic partnership with Anthropic, OpenAI, powered by our Cyber.AI platform, and one of the largest AI capability investments in professional services.

What you'll do: Architect AI security capability across domains – design how AI-native capability is consumed by identity, detection and response, vulnerability management, GRC, and data security functions as a coherent fabric rather than a patchwork of isolated point solutions. Architect secure AI systems – threat modelling, adversarial testing and red-teaming, MLSecOps, model and pipeline security, secure-by-design for agentic AI, and AI security posture management.

Translate control frameworks into engineering practice – take the OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI RMF, and Accenture's internal Secure AI controls and turn them into concrete guidance that client development and MLOps teams can implement. Work as a forward-deployed engineer where the work demands it – configure and deploy Cyber.AI, design and build agents on the Anthropic stack, extend Agent Shield governance, and integrate AI capability into client environments.

This role expects hands-on delivery, not advisory-only engagement. Lead technical delivery on client engagements, owning the technical direction of AI security workstreams from scoping through to implementation and handover. Contribute across the full cycle – technical, consulting, and commercial, including RFPs, proposals, solutioning, and opportunity development. Grow technical capability by mentoring more junior colleagues and raising the technical bar of the practice as it scales.

How We Reinvent At Accenture, our teams operate within one of our core service lines – Digital Core, Industry & Enterprise, Supply Chain & Engineering, Cybersecurity, Song, Finance, Talent, Client Groups, Global Operations, Reinvention Services – each designed to drive reinvention at scale. This role falls under Cybersecurity, where we combine deep industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to help clients secure the AI systems they are building, and to deliver security itself through AI – protecting our clients as they reinvent.

You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team composed of security consultants, AI and forward-deployed engineers, architects, and industry specialists, working collaboratively to solve complex challenges and shape the future of intelligent business. Whether it's transforming digital cores, embedding AI into operations, or designing human-centric experiences, our teams are empowered to innovate boldly and deliver measurable impact.

We go to market by industry, leveraging our global delivery network and strategic partnerships with ecosystem leaders like Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, AWS, and Google. Our culture of shared success and continuous learning ensures that every team member contributes to – and benefits from – our reinvention journey. What we're looking for: Education : Education: Master's degree in a relevant field – computer science, cybersecurity, information security, artificial intelligence, engineering, or similar.

Experience : Approximately 7–10 years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, technology consulting, security engineering, or a closely related field. Skills: Demonstrable hands-on experience building or securing AI systems, incl. LLM applications, agentic architectures, ML pipelines, or equivalent. Strong security architecture background with the ability to reason at capability and platform level rather than individual control level.
