We do not just advise - we build, implement, and deliver results our clients can measure. Our teams bring together consultants, data scientists, data engineers, AI engineers, analysts, and digital experts to solve complex business challenges with pragmatic, production-ready solutions.\nAs we continue to grow in the US, we are building a team of entrepreneurial data and AI talent who can help clients move beyond experimentation and into scalable, governed, value-generating AI adoption.\nThe Role\nArtefact is looking for a Director of AI & Data Consulting to help lead our US consulting practice. Our consultants are not spectators of the AI transformation they advise on - they are builders. A Director at Artefact wins engagements with C-level executives, leads multidisciplinary teams to deliver them, and is personally fluent in the AI tools reshaping our clients' businesses. When a client asks what an agentic workflow could look like, you don't just describe it - you can open Claude Code or Gemini CLI and have a working prototype in the room by the next meeting. We need someone who is not afraid of the terminal.\nThis is a role for a leader who combines consulting excellence, commercial drive, and genuine AI literacy - and who can grow both a client portfolio and the people around them.\nWhat You'll Do\nServe as the primary contact and trusted advisor for client executives - CMO, CDO, CIO, and often CEO - on data and AI transformation.\nWin engagements: develop the client portfolio, grow the US commercial pipeline, and build and present winning proposals.\nLead multidisciplinary teams of consultants, data scientists, AI engineers, and analysts, and orchestrate Artefact's global offices when needed.\nEnsure delivery meets Artefact's quality bar: measurable impact, not just recommendations.\nShape AI and data strategies, operating models, roadmaps, and adoption programs that survive contact with reality.\nGuide clients from GenAI pilots to production-grade, governed AI adoption - including agentic AI, AI-native ways of working, and organizational change.\nBring a firm command of the data, marketing, and technology ecosystem, and keep it current as the AI landscape moves.\nBring (or build) vertical expertise - e.g., CPG, retail, financial services, healthcare, telecom.\nUse AI tools daily in your own work - analysis, writing, prototyping - and set the standard for what an AI-native consultant looks like.\nPrototype with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex) to make ideas tangible in pitches and workshops.\nMaintain real specialization in at least one AI platform ecosystem - Google (Gemini Enterprise), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI - deep enough to advise credibly on platform strategy.\nUnderstand context engineering well enough to shape how clients connect AI to their data, documents, and systems.\nLead and develop the US consulting team: recruiting, mentoring, training, and best-practice sharing across countries.\nDevelop others' AI literacy: make every consultant on your teams a more capable builder.\nContribute to content and thought leadership: Artefact-published research, articles, business cases, events, and PR.\nCommunicate successes internally and externally to strengthen Artefact's US market position.\nWhat We're Looking For\n8-10 years of demonstrated success at a consulting, technology, or media firm (or in-house in a related capacity), with robust experience managing both projects and clients.\nProven ability to win work: a business development track record, preferably having built a book of business.\nExperience advising senior executives (C-level) on data, digital, or AI transformation.\nDemonstrated AI literacy as a builder: regular hands-on use of AI tools to produce real work - prototypes, analyses, automations - not only slideware.\nWorking fluency with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex, and comfort in the terminal with AI guidance.\nSpecialization 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.\nOutstanding communication skills: executive presence, sharp storytelling, and the ability to make complex AI topics simple without making them wrong.\nExperience leading and developing consulting teams.\nThought leadership at the intersection of data, marketing, and technology\nPreferred Experience\nVertical expertise in CPG, retail, financial services, healthcare, or telecom.\nExperience taking clients from AI experimentation to scaled, governed adoption.\nFamiliarity with context engineering concepts: RAG, semantic layers, knowledge bases, MCP.\nAn existing network and reputation in the US data & AI market.\nWhy you should join us\nWe are united by our values and strengthened by our hybrid expertise.\nThere is always a way: We're from the breed of does, of diggers, of makers. Because ideas are valuable only if executed.\nClient trust is won on the field: Addressing client needs flows better hands on at their side.\nIf not used, it is useless: Our love for technology translates into a steep desire for adoption, true brilliance is about impact.\nIf not shared, our work is not done: Sharing knowledge is the best way to button up a mission, benefitting clients and colleagues.\nWe learn everyday: Tech is a land where everything move at the speed of light, you better be ready to challenge yourself.\nHow We Support Our People\nIn addition to our values-driven culture, we offer a range of benefits and programs designed to support our employees' growth and well-being, including:\nLearning and Development: Work alongside a multidisciplinary team of AI, data, and consulting experts who are committed to continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and professional growth.\nHybrid Flexibility: Our hybrid work model gives you the flexibility to balance collaboration, client needs, and personal commitments.\n Comprehensive Benefits: We offer a competitive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan with company matching, and paid parental leave.\nTime to Recharge: We believe sustainable performance matters. That's why we offer unlimited paid time off, giving you the flexibility to take the time you need.\n Growth Opportunities: As a rapidly growing organization, you'll have the opportunity to expand your skills, take on new challenges, and help shape the future of the company.\nThe estimated base compensation for this role is $200,000 - $230,000 (NYC location). Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, and experience. In addition, this role is eligible for competitive benefits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6987,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Growth opportunities","Hybrid work","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Management Consulting","Digital Marketing","AI Consulting & Integration","Analytics & BI Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-19T17:16:46Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":142500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":65,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.897,"p_room":0.72,"age_days":61,"expected_fill_days":167,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:mid","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":230000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/artefact-director-ai-data-consulting","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/artefact-director-ai-data-consulting.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T03:49:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5603,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":53062},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=53062"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fartefact-director-ai-data-consulting"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fartefact-director-ai-data-consulting"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fartefact-director-ai-data-consulting"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/artefact-director-ai-data-consulting\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fartefact-director-ai-data-consulting"}]}
