Manager - Data Engineer

Deloitte’s AI & Data team is transforming how businesses leverage cloud-native technologies to solve complex challenges in data, machine learning, and AI.  We’re helping client design and implement their Agentic strategy and drive significant productivity changes and create business value.

How this role brings our table-stakes behaviours to life

Five behaviours are now table stakes across the practice – Be Curious, Reuse and Improve, Validate and Elevate, Reinvent Delivery, and Show, Don’t Tell – mapping to our four performance pillars (Serving Clients; Leading Self and Others; Investing in the Future; Managing the Business). As a Value & Adoption Lead you carry Serving Clients and Show, Don’t Tell most visibly: you reframe client conversations around demonstrable AI-enabled value and make sure every proposal carries a bold, outcome-changing idea. You are measured on the value you create – client outcomes, gross margin and team sales – and you set the standard for how value is articulated, sold and realised.

About the team

Our AI & Data team comprises more than 500 specialist practitioners across Australia, each of whom are constantly curious and excited about combining their business acumen and technological expertise to create AI and data-centric solutions that help solve complex problems and transform or reinvent our clients’ business.

Our AI & Data team work with public and private sector clients, helping them design and implement world-leading solutions and capabilities. From solving air and ground transport network issues through our industry-first Optimal Reality digital twin solution, to bringing automation capabilities to vaccine rollout programs and helping our clients move to a sustainable world, we are the partner of choice for our clients and our alliance vendors.

Our technology relationships with market-leading vendors such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Databricks, Snowflake and Informatica enable our practitioners to be at the forefront of new and emerging capabilities and to deliver our suite of services at scale. We are consistently recognised as leaders in Cloud, Data, Analytics and AI, including in the latest analyst reports.

The AI Pioneers, Forward Deployed Engineers and Value & Adoption Leads are the new virtual teams that sit at the leading edge of this practice, ensuring our work stays AI-powered, our clients see real value, and our practitioners stay AI-fluent.
