Agentic Data Governance Specialist (AI&Data)

• Contribute to governance approaches for distributed and scalable data architectures, including domain-oriented ownership, federated governance models, and metadata-driven practices that enable continuous improvement.

• Collaborate with Data Architects, Engineers, InfoSec, Compliance, and AI teams to embed governance principles into technical and operational processes and translate business needs into practical implementation approaches.

• Guide clients in defining and implementing semantic layer standards, including SKOS, RDF, and SML as foundational infrastructure for modern Data & AI platforms.

• Design and operationalize semantic layers, business glossaries, and taxonomies; develop ontology and knowledge-graph-driven data models that link business meaning to physical data assets, including in agentic and LLM environments.

• Solid working knowledge of knowledge graphs and ontologies and their application in modelling complex relationships between business entities across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data sources.

• Participate in client workshops, governance assessments, and solution shaping activities, while establishing robust governance around Agentic AI, Responsible AI, and modern enterprise data management.

• Flexible: The work location for this role may include a mix of working remotely (most of the time), onsite at a client or in an Accenture office - depending on specific project circumstances. With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders, and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.

• Work on projects for international clients across multiple industries, expanding your skill set in "new" data governance, metadata, semantics, and Agentic AI-enabled operating models.

• Gain exposure to advisory, delivery, and strategic work, while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across business, architecture, engineering, compliance, and AI.

• Build your expertise in a role that supports professional growth through real client challenges, solution shaping, and enterprise-scale Data & AI initiatives.

• Experience moving beyond standard data governance to "new" governance frameworks based on ontologies, graphs, and Agentic AI.

• A strong conceptual understanding of graph concepts in governance and how they are utilized within agent-based environments (deep hands-on experience is not strictly required as this is a new field, but grasping the core concepts is essential).

• Strong understanding of modern enterprise data ecosystems and governance challenges in AI-driven organizations, including distributed data ownership models, federated governance, and metadata-driven architectures.

• Hands-on familiarity with semantic layers, business glossaries, taxonomies, and ontology or knowledge graph approaches such as RDF/OWL and SKOS.

• Understanding of cloud-based data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, Synapse, BigQuery, or Redshift, and confidence working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, alongside a pragmatic and forward-thinking approach to governance in fast-changing organizations.

• Familiarity with graph databases (e.g., AWS Neptune) and understanding their application in agentic AI contexts.

• Experience in consulting or multi-client environments, including support for RFP responses, solution shaping, or proposal development within the Data & AI domain.

• Experience with governance and data catalog tools such as Atlan, Collibra, Purview, or Alation, as well as real-world implementation of semantic models, enterprise taxonomies, or domain ontologies.

• Familiarity with knowledge graphs, semantic web standards, Responsible AI, or comprehensive AI governance frameworks.
