HOW YOU'LL IMPACT.

Shaping Inverto’s digital knowledge ecosystem. You shape and continuously develop Inverto’s digital knowledge ecosystem. You co‑own the strategic definition and execution of the firmwide knowledge and AI roadmap and ensure that our platforms are scalable, secure, and aligned with business priorities. Your work directly enables consulting teams to access, use, and scale knowledge efficiently across the firm.

Product ownership and driving AI and automation at scale.

Stakeholder management, governance, and value steering. You collaborate closely with IT, compliance, vendors, Practice Areas, Centers of Excellence, and senior leadership. You ensure robust platform governance, operational stability, and compliance with data governance, security, and internal control standards. At the same time, you define and track relevant KPIs (e.g., adoption, efficiency gains, platform performance) to ensure transparency and business impact. You manage external vendors and contribute to budget planning and oversight for knowledge and AI‑related initiatives.

Leading change and people. You lead firmwide change initiatives to promote a digital and knowledge‑driven mindset and to drive adoption of new tools and ways of working. You coach and develop Knowledge Infrastructure Specialists and Coordinators, set clear priorities, and foster a strong, future‑oriented team in a cross‑functional and matrix‑driven environment.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING.

You hold a degree in business informatics, information management, information systems, or a comparable field, paired with 5+ years of experience in platform management, digital product ownership, or knowledge infrastructure–related roles.

You bring deep expertise in digital enterprise platforms, knowledge enablement, and AI‑driven solutions, combined with strong strategic thinking and architecture‑level problem‑solving skills.

You have proven leadership experience, guiding individuals and leading teams in complex, cross‑functional or matrix environments.

You have experience translating strategic objectives into scalable, secure, and future‑ready platforms, processes, and services, with a strong focus on business value and adoption.
