AI Transformation Manager

We are a premier Berlin-based AI venture and transformation consultancy helping leading enterprises and Mittelstand champions turn cutting-edge machine learning into operational reality. As our AI Transformation Manager, you will bridge the gap between technical possibilities and boardroom strategy, steering end-to-end organizational change across Europe's industrial core.

Overview

Why this role matters

Enterprises are stuck between endless AI proofs-of-concept and genuine operational scaling. You will serve as the strategic sparring partner to executive leaders, unlocking real business value by turning lighthouse initiatives into enterprise-wide AI capabilities. Without you, ambitious AI roadmaps remain theoretical prototypes rather than scaled transformations.

Responsibilities

What you'll do

You will own the end-to-end execution of enterprise AI transformations, commercial account growth, and internal practice development.

  • Steer end-to-end AI transformation programs from initial lighthouse use cases to company-wide adoption across Mittelstand and enterprise clients.
  • Drive key account expansion, proposal writing, and pre-sales engagements alongside our sales and technical squads.
  • Manage executive stakeholders and lead change management initiatives to embed long-term AI capabilities in client organizations.
  • Build and publish thought leadership, shaping the public discourse around applied AI trends, feasibility, and adoption pathways.
  • Evolve our AI transformation playbooks, methodologies, and delivery frameworks to continuously sharpen our market offering.
  • Mentor cross-functional project teams consisting of AI strategists, researchers, and delivery leads.

Candidate profile

Who this is a fit for

  • 8+ years in management consulting, boutique advisory, enterprise tech, or AI-driven environments.
  • Proven track record leading complex, cross-functional organizational and technical transformation programs.
  • Deep fluency in machine learning concepts, feasibility assessments, and AI operating models.
  • Experienced in consultative pre-sales, client proposal creation, and executive stakeholder sparring.
  • Skilled change manager with hands-on experience guiding Mittelstand and large enterprises.
  • Fully fluent in both German and English (business-level communication).

Culture

What it's like to work here

Our company fosters an entrepreneurial, high-ownership culture situated in Berlin. The environment is characterized by flat hierarchies, highly open feedback loops, and significant flexibility with hybrid setups. Team members thrive on autonomy, collaborating closely across cross-functional squads comprising AI strategists, researchers, and delivery leads. Professional growth and knowledge sharing are prioritized through weekly and monthly AI events, structured learning budgets, and a strong shared commitment to developing ethical, impactful AI solutions.

What you get

The offer

  • High-autonomy culture embedded at the Berlin AI Campus with flexible hybrid working setups.
  • Cross-functional collaboration with top-tier AI researchers, strategists, and technical delivery leads.
  • Dedicated structured learning budgets and continuous access to specialized weekly/monthly AI events.
  • Direct influence over the strategic methodologies and tools of a fast-growing AI advisory practice.

A quick note

This probably isn't for you if:

  • You prefer purely theoretical strategy work without getting involved in hands-on delivery and change management.
  • You lack confidence discussing modern machine learning techniques and technical feasibility with engineers and C-level clients.
  • You are uncomfortable with active pre-sales, proposal writing, or representing thought leadership publicly.
