Description du poste

We are looking for you to complement our team of round pegs in square holes!

AI is transforming everything, and we are not here to watch from the sidelines. We are already Germany's leading AI powerhouse and play it boldly.

With a team of 50 friendly nerds, we deliver what Accenture, BCG, and Capgemini merely talk about: genuine AI breakthroughs for DAX-listed companies, hidden champions, international NGOs and even the government. That’s why we have just secured the first place in the Data & AI category of WirtschaftsWoche's Best of Consulting ranking.

We are looking for a Partner:in (m/w/d) who identifies with most of the following:

What the role is about

• You will build and own your own book of business – winning relevant new clients with credible access on C-level
• You will turn strong first engagements into larger, long-term client relationships, systematically growing strategic accounts
• You will be steering our delivery and consulting teams to measurable business value from use cases to real AI-first transformation
• You will be the client partner for a squad of engineers, consultants and project leads and ensure quality, growing value and excellent staff
• You will sharpen our offering, pricing, and commercial steering along the AI value chain, protecting margin, quality, and client relationship at the same time
• You will grow the impact of people around you developing talent and multiplying your effect beyond your own contribution
• You will be part of our senior executive team, working hand in hand with our founder, managing director and senior leaders to steer One Thousand towards impact across Europe
• You will represent One Thousand credibly in the market, (e.g. during executive dinners, as a conference speaker) translating our AI expertise into real relevance externally
• You will be working not only with large corporates, but also help powering the "Mittelstand," with particular depth in mechanical and plant engineering, manufacturing, metal and pipes, retail and commodity trading, media and publishing, medical technology, and energy
• You will have the chance to fully be yourself and will be embraced if you respect the others :-)

What you bring

• Winning business, personally: You have a proven, quantifiable track record of personally originating relevant business over the past three years – with clear numbers on revenue, margin, deal size, sales cycle, and your own share in it.
• C-level access: You can name concrete relationships you could credibly activate today, and you know why it would be you who opens that door.
• Industry depth: You bring real network and credibility in one or more of our core industries – mechanical and plant engineering, manufacturing, metal and pipes, retail and commodity trading, media and publishing, medical technology, or energy.
• Growing accounts strategically: You have multiple examples where you have taken a first engagement with a client and systematically developed it into a larger, recurring partnership.
• Owning delivery end-to-end: You can walk us through a mandate from business goal to productive solution, with a clear personal contribution at the critical moments
• Thinking commercially: You know when to deliberately not sell, or reshape a project, in order to protect margin, quality, or the relationship – you own your P&L contribution
• Leading people: You have visibly made someone else bigger, and it shows in how you develop talent and multiply impact through others, not just through yourself.
• Being dedicated: You fully support the team to reach our goals in a result-oriented way of working while fostering a culture of caring.
• Dealing with ambiguity: Even if some challenges are vaguely defined, you make sense of what needs to be done. See it. Say it. Sort it!
• Ability to communicate in German and English with level C1 or higher.
• Openness to travel to clients and across our Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Zürich locations as the role requires.

How we work

• Inherent Drive for Greatness: Our world-class team of outliers ships AI breakthroughs extremely fast while ensuring quality standards are met. We are people who feel like they still have something to prove and we do so by working on something 1000x greater than us.
• Relentless Resourcefulness: Creating AI breakthroughs requires the ability to thrive in uncertainty. We have the strength to bounce back and a tenacity to keep pushing to go where it hurts. We balance persistence with lightness.
• Infectious Enthusiasm: We care about making AI a blast for everyone involved. With electrifying empathy, we propel our clients forward in understanding, building, and thriving with AI and boost our team with the opportunity to shape our future.

What we offer

• Ascension: We are committed to pushing and enabling you to do the best work of your life.
• Anti-Mimeticism: We are on the journey to 1000 AI breakthroughs since long before the recent hype.
• Real Partnership: A hybrid model with prospective equity participation – you build and benefit from the business you grow, not just run it.
• Captivating AI Projects: Engage with high-impact projects that offer ample room for personal development, experimentation, continuous learning, and growth.
• Leadership Role: A defining partner set-up in a pioneering AI company with the autonomy to build and lead your own area of the business.
• Professional Environment: Enjoy a professional, yet flexible work environment, innovative practices along "No rules rules," and continuous mutual support.
• Competitive Compensation: We offer top-of-market pay and equity upside for a Partner.
• We care: Family-friendly policies.
• Female Empowerment: Equal opportunities & diversity, mentorship & career development, leadership support for women.

We are determined to foster and embrace diversity not just among our clients but especially within our own walls. We believe that this will make our organization and quality of work better, but more importantly, we strongly believe it is the right thing to do.
