Your role as Senior AI Strategy Consultant

As a Senior AI Strategy Consultant, you help organizations both define their AI ambition and turn it into tangible business impact. You identify and prioritize high‑value AI use cases, assess feasibility and impact, and translate opportunities into clear business cases, roadmaps and transformation programs. You take ownership of both the strategic direction and the orchestration of AI transformation programs.

You help C‑level stakeholders understand where AI truly creates value and how to move from experimentation to scaled adoption in a responsible and sustainable way. From defining AI strategies and operating models to supporting implementation and change, you play a key role in shaping end‑to‑end AI transformations.

You will typically work in teams of 3 to 5 colleagues consisting of strategy consultants, AI engineers, and AI experts. In this team setup, you will play a key role in gathering and analyzing information, setting the course, and communicating recommendations, as well as project management.

What will you do?

• Build business cases, KPI frameworks, and roadmaps.
• Collaborate with AI engineers and data colleagues to ensure recommendations are grounded in technical feasibility and delivery realities.
