You Are:
You are a child welfare trailblazer - a seasoned leader who has spent your career championing the safety, permanency, and well-being of vulnerable children and families. You bring more than a decade of hard-won expertise navigating the complexity of child welfare systems, and you are ready to take that knowledge national. You understand that real transformation in child welfare requires more than good intentions - it demands deep regulatory fluency, systems thinking, and the ability to mobilize diverse stakeholders around a shared vision. At Accenture, you will amplify your impact, partnering with states and agencies across the country to drive meaningful, lasting change for the children and families who need it most.
The Work:
As a Senior Manager in Accenture's national Child Welfare practice, you will lead high-impact engagements that span child welfare system modernization, CCWIS compliance and implementation, program transformation, and stakeholder alignment - working with state agencies and their partners to reimagine how child welfare services are delivered. You will serve as a trusted advisor to state child welfare directors, program administrators, and agency leadership, helping them navigate federal mandates while designing people-centered, technology-enabled solutions that improve outcomes for children and families. From coast to coast, your fingerprints will be on some of the most consequential child welfare transformation efforts in the country.
Our Child Welfare practice is at the forefront of a national movement to modernize and transform how states care for their most vulnerable citizens. You will help grow and shape this practice, bringing your subject matter expertise to bear on business development, solution design, and delivery excellence across a dynamic national portfolio of engagements.
In this role, you will lead multidisciplinary teams to design and deliver child welfare transformation solutions that integrate policy expertise, operational know-how, and emerging technology. You will work hand-in-hand with child welfare agencies navigating complex federal requirements - including CCWIS regulations and associated ACF policy bulletins - while driving forward-thinking program redesign that puts child safety and family stability at the center.
As a subject matter expert and practice leader, you will: guide CCWIS planning, procurement, and implementation strategies for state child welfare agencies; lead child welfare system modernization initiatives from assessment through deployment; design and facilitate stakeholder engagement strategies that build consensus across agency leadership, advocacy groups, tribal partners, and community organizations; develop and present compelling points of view on child welfare policy, technology, and operational transformation; contribute to Accenture's national child welfare thought leadership, proposal development, and practice growth; and mentor and develop a team of passionate consultants who share your commitment to improving outcomes for children and families.
