Zusammenfassung

Artefact is seeking a Director of AI & Data Consulting to lead and grow our US practice. You will drive client engagements, shape AI strategy, and build multidisciplinary teams that deliver measurable outcomes.

The role requires executive-level collaboration, hands-on AI work, and a track record of winning work. You will mentor consultants, develop pipelines, and contribute to thought leadership while advancing production-grade, governed AI adoption across industries.

Qualifikationen

• 8–10 years of demonstrated success at a consulting, technology, or media firm, with robust experience managing both projects and clients.
• Proven ability to win work: a business development track record, preferably having built a book of business.
• Experience advising senior executives (C-level) on data, digital, or AI transformation.
• Demonstrated AI literacy as a builder: regular hands-on use of AI tools to produce real work — prototypes, analyses, automations.
• Working fluency with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex, and comfort in the terminal with AI guidance.
• Specialization in at least one major AI platform ecosystem — Google (Gemini Enterprise, Vertex AI), Anthropic (Claude Enterprise), or OpenAI — sufficient to advise on platform selection and adoption.

Aufgaben

• Serve as the primary contact and trusted advisor for client executives — CMO, CDO, CIO, and often CEO — on data and AI transformation.
• Win engagements: develop the client portfolio, grow the US commercial pipeline, and build and present winning proposals.
• Lead multidisciplinary teams of consultants, data scientists, AI engineers, and analysts, and orchestrate Artefact's global offices when needed.
• Ensure delivery meets Artefact's quality bar: measurable impact, not just recommendations.
• Shape AI and data strategies, operating models, roadmaps, and adoption programs that survive contact with reality.
• Guide clients from GenAI pilots to production-grade, governed AI adoption — including agentic AI, AI-native ways of working, and organizational change.
• Bring a firm command of the data, marketing, and technology ecosystem, and keep it current as the AI landscape moves.
• Bring (or build) vertical expertise — e.g., CPG, retail, financial services, healthcare, telecom.
• Use AI tools daily in your own work — analysis, writing, prototyping — and set the standard for what an AI-native consultant looks like.
• Prototype with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex) to make ideas tangible in pitches and workshops.
• Maintain real specialization in at least one AI platform ecosystem — Google (Gemini Enterprise), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI — deep enough to advise credibly on platform strategy.
• Understand context engineering well enough to shape how clients connect AI to their data, documents, and systems.
• Lead and develop the US consulting team: recruiting, mentoring, training, and best-practice sharing across countries.
• Develop others' AI literacy: make every consultant on your teams a more capable builder.
• Contribute to content and thought leadership: Artefact-published research, articles, business cases, events, and PR.
• Communicate successes internally and externally to strengthen Artefact's US market position.
