Job description

Who we are

ADC is a Boutique Data and AI consultancy with offices in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark, and an award-winning data design studio (CLEVER°FRANKE) embedded in the group. We help organisations turn data and AI into real impact, leading a mission to accelerate the responsible use of Data and AI. We bring the full data value chain under one roof: from strategy and engineering to analytics, data science, and design. This way, we turn complex data into clear roadmaps, scalable foundations, AI-powered tools, and experiences people actually enjoy using.

We are a collective of statisticians, designers, PhDs, and agentic AI engineers with deep expertise in the industries we serve: financial services, life sciences, healthcare, the public sector, retail, agriculture, and transportation. We do not arrive with generic tools and a slide deck. We walk in, work alongside the people who know the organisation best, and build solutions that actually run.

We call ourselves Wayfinders. Our clients trust us to navigate complexity and make it real: turning ambition into action in environments where the margin for error is small and the consequences of getting it wrong are real, for customers, employees, supply chains, and the bottom line.

• A strong grasp of the modern GenAI landscape (LLMs, RAG, embeddings and vector search, tool/function calling, agentic patterns, and protocols like MCP) and the judgment to know when to apply each
• Comfortable understanding the strategy & business context behind the technical problems you solve
• The ability to communicate with anyone in the room, explaining complex analytical concepts clearly to non‑technical audiences such as business managers, product owners, and commercial leads
