Jobbeschreibung

Artificial Intelligence is moving rapidly from experimentation to real business value, and organisations across every sector are looking for experienced professionals who can bridge the gap between technology and commercial outcomes.

We're working with an ambitious, fast-growing AI consultancy seeking an experienced Senior AI Project Lead to take ownership of complex client engagements from initial discovery through to successful implementation. This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of AI and digital transformation, helping organisations turn emerging technologies into practical solutions that deliver measurable impact.

If you enjoy working directly with senior stakeholders, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to shape projects that genuinely change how businesses operate, this could be an excellent next step in your career.

About the Organisation

Our client is a specialist technology consultancy focused on helping organisations unlock value through Artificial Intelligence, data, and digital innovation. They partner with businesses across a broad range of industries including enterprise organisations, growing companies, public sector bodies, and mission-driven organisations to solve complex challenges using modern AI solutions.

Rather than delivering lengthy consulting engagements, they believe in working collaboratively with clients to develop practical, scalable solutions that create lasting business improvements. Their culture encourages curiosity, ownership, continuous learning, and a hands-on approach to solving problems.

As the business continues to grow, they are looking for experienced leaders who can combine strong project delivery skills with commercial awareness and a genuine passion for AI.

The Impact You'll Have

As a Senior AI Project Lead, you'll play a central role in helping clients successfully adopt AI technologies and embed them into their organisations.

You'll oversee the full lifecycle of client engagements, coordinating multidisciplinary teams while ensuring projects remain commercially focused and deliver measurable outcomes. Acting as the primary point of contact for stakeholders, you'll build trusted relationships, guide strategic discussions, and help translate business challenges into practical technology solutions.

Beyond project delivery, you'll contribute to the continued growth of the consultancy by helping shape delivery standards, mentoring colleagues, sharing knowledge, and supporting the evolution of client services.

This is a highly visible position offering significant autonomy, influence, and the opportunity to make a genuine impact across multiple industries.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead AI and digital transformation projects from discovery through implementation and successful delivery.
• Build strong relationships with client stakeholders, becoming a trusted advisor throughout each engagement.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams including technical specialists, consultants, and business stakeholders.
• Facilitate workshops, strategy sessions, and enablement programmes that help clients understand and adopt AI technologies.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear business recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ensure projects remain aligned to agreed objectives, timelines, budgets, and quality standards.
• Identify risks early and proactively develop solutions to keep projects moving forward.
• Support continuous improvement across project delivery, client engagement, and internal collaboration.
• Contribute to business growth through knowledge sharing, thought leadership, and the development of new service offerings where appropriate.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with experienced project leaders who combine commercial awareness with a genuine enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies.

You’ll likely bring:

• At least four years’ experience leading complex client-facing projects within consulting, technology, digital transformation, AI, data, or a related environment.
• Practical experience delivering AI or Machine Learning initiatives in real business settings.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining excellent stakeholder communication.
• Confidence facilitating workshops, training sessions, and collaborative working groups.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build credibility with senior decision-makers.
• Strong analytical thinking and a structured approach to solving ambiguous or complex business problems.
• Commercial awareness with a focus on delivering measurable value for clients.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both German and English (C1 level or above).
• A collaborative mindset, a proactive attitude, and a willingness to take ownership.
• Flexibility to travel to client sites when required (approximately 50%).

Experience gained within management consulting, digital transformation, cloud technology, enterprise software, B2B SaaS, AI consulting, or similar professional services environments would be highly beneficial.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a business where your work will have a visible impact from day one.

You’ll work alongside experienced technology professionals on challenging projects that sit at the intersection of AI, data, cloud technologies, and business transformation. The organisation encourages new ideas, values initiative, and gives people the autonomy to influence both client outcomes and internal ways of working.

You’ll have the chance to expand your expertise across a wide variety of industries while working with modern AI technologies that are shaping the future of business.

For professionals looking to accelerate their careers in AI consulting and leadership, the role offers genuine opportunities for progression, continuous learning, and increasing responsibility.

In return, our client offers a highly competitive package alongside a supportive and flexible working environment designed to help people perform at their best.

Benefits include:

• Competitive salary with performance-based progression.
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
• Opportunities for continuous professional development and learning.
• Exposure to innovative AI, data, and digital transformation programmes.
• Significant autonomy and responsibility from the outset.
• Collaborative, inclusive, and supportive team culture.
• Clear opportunities for career advancement as the organisation continues to grow.
• Family-friendly policies and a healthy approach to work-life balance.
• A strong commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine leadership, AI expertise, client engagement, and meaningful project delivery while helping organisations embrace the next generation of technology, we'd love to hear from you.
