Napoli – 2 openings highlights the growing presence of multinational consultancies in the south. Both roles are with Accenture and focus on “AI native” and forward‑deployed engineering, signalling a demand for professionals who can embed AI directly into client‑facing products and services.
Beyond these three hotspots, a handful of openings appear in smaller locations such as Ancona, Arezzo, Lanza, Stezzano, Terni, Torino, and Vicenza. While the numbers are modest, they demonstrate a nation‑wide appetite for AI talent, ranging from specialist engineers to applied AI leads.
