Lead Advisor - Strategic AI Transformation

1 Lead Advisor - Strategic AI Transformation Your Tasks

• Assess clients' AI readiness, develop their AI vision and target picture, and translate both into a concrete, prioritised transformation roadmap.
• Design AI-native operating models - rethinking team structures, ownership, value streams, and ways of working to make organisations genuinely fit for AI.
• Design and drive enterprise-wide AI adoption programs - from governance setup and enablement strategies to managing resistance and scaling AI initiatives across business units.
• Lead change enablement programs that drive real adoption: transformation narratives, leadership coaching, and communication strategies tailored to CxO and board audiences.
• Facilitate high-stakes strategic workshops, including Big Picture Event Storming, AI Readiness Assessments, and AI portfolio prioritisation sessions with senior stakeholders.
• Shape AI governance frameworks in line with EU AI Act requirements - covering risk classification, ethics guidelines, and auditability.

Your Qualifications

• 5+ years in strategic consulting or transformation roles, with direct exposure to C-level stakeholders (CIO, CDO, CPO, or board level) - from financial services, insurance, or beyond.
• Comfortable in technical conversations - you understand modern software delivery, CI/CD, AI-assisted engineering, and architecture concepts.
• Fluent in AI - you don't just understand LLMs, Agents, RAG, and data architecture concepts, you actively use AI tools in your own work: custom workflows, agents, or automation that go well beyond ChatGPT. You translate between business and technology with confidence, without needing to build production systems yourself.
• You have arrived at a clear conviction: AI doesn't just change IT - it changes how entire organisations operate. You think in terms of parallel transformation across business, people, and technology, not sequential rollout.
• Solid command of change management frameworks such as ADKAR, and organisational design methods including Team Topologies, Value Stream Mapping, or Operating Model Design - the broader your toolkit, the better.
• Familiar with AI governance requirements, including the EU AI Act, risk assessment approaches, and ethics principles for AI deployment.
• A track record of identifying and shaping new opportunities within client relationships, and the confidence to drive these forward independently.
• written and spoken communication skills in German and English - both are required.
