Job description

Role: Technical Advisory Manager — Data & AI

Location: 100% remote or hybrid - you choose. You can always book a desk in our office in our office in Warsaw or Cracow

You'll combine hands-on Data & AI expertise with client advisory and business development. You'll work with senior client stakeholders to understand their challenges, shape high-level solution visions and identify opportunities where technology can create business value.

What you will actually work on?

• Partner with key clients to understand their business and technology needs and shape solutions across Data & AI.
• Translate technical expertise into solution visions connected to real business goals.
• Use your experience from Data Warehouse, Data Lake/Lakehouse, BI or AI projects to challenge assumptions and help clients choose the right direction.
• Work closely with Delivery and Technology teams to turn advisory conversations into actionable solutions.
• Build and develop long-term relationships with existing clients and identify opportunities to expand the services we provide.
• Work with new customers to understand their needs and contribute to business proposals.
• Collaborate with technology partners, including Microsoft, Databricks and Snowflake, when shaping solutions and opportunities.
• Organize and lead client meetings, workshops and presentations, and manage your own schedule around client and business needs.
• Travel occasionally within Europe and the Middle East, depending on client needs and events.

What you will work with?

Data Analytics | AI | Business Intelligence | Data Warehousing | Data Lake/Lakehouse | Microsoft | Databricks | Snowflake | Cloud Data Platforms

You'll work across technology ecosystems and solution areas, combining technical delivery experience with advisory and commercial discussions.

You'll probably enjoy working with us if...

• You enjoy talking to senior client stakeholders about their business challenges and then going one level deeper into the technology behind them.
• You can move comfortably between technical discussions, business conversations and commercial topics.
• You like taking a client problem and turning it into a clear solution direction rather than simply presenting a predefined service.
• You're comfortable challenging a client when your technical experience suggests there is a better approach.
• You naturally look for what could be done next — whether that means expanding an existing solution, addressing a new business need or opening a conversation with a new customer.
• You prefer having the freedom to organize your own client work, meetings, workshops and priorities.

This collaboration might not be for you if...

• You're looking for one predictable project that will stay largely unchanged for the next few years.
• You want to receive a finished specification, build exactly what's written there and move to the next topic.
• You'd rather stay away from client conversations and collaboration with different stakeholders.

Elitmind is a consulting company. Projects, clients, industries and technologies change. You'll collaborate with experienced people around you, but you'll also have a lot of freedom and responsibility for figuring out how to move your own area forward.

What collaboration with Elitmind looks like?

• Help build Enterprise IQ

Build the Data & AI foundations behind more intelligent organizations, connecting data, analytics, AI and business context to turn technology into better decisions, smarter actions and measurable value.

• Close to Microsoft

As one of Microsoft's key partners in Poland, we get early exposure to new technologies and solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem.

• Strong Data & AI expertise

Collaborate with experienced Data & AI experts across different areas, technologies and enterprise projects.

• Technology that keeps moving

Work across the Microsoft, Databricks and Snowflake ecosystems, with new technologies regularly explored and applied to real business challenges.

• Different projects, different challenges

Our projects span different industries, technologies and business contexts, so there's always something new to solve.

Take ownership of your scope and independently organize how you deliver the agreed outcomes.

• Flexibility that works around your life

Choose where you work best and organize your working hours with flexibility. Work remotely or book a desk in our office whenever you want to collaborate or meet the team in person.

What we're looking for?

• Hands-on and management experience delivering Data Warehouse, Data Lake/Lakehouse, BI or AI projects end to end.
• Strong understanding of Data Analytics, AI, Business Intelligence and Cloud Data Platforms.
• Practical experience with at least one of the Microsoft, Databricks or Snowflake ecosystems.
• Experience working directly with C-level, directors, architects, technology leaders or service managers.
• Experience designing and proposing high-level technical solutions or services together with clients.
• Experience in consulting or client advisory beyond project delivery.
• Experience identifying opportunities within existing accounts and contributing to business proposals.
• Very good English and willingness to travel occasionally within Europe and the Middle East.
