# Data & AI Strategy Lead

Demand for data & AI projects is growing fast. To keep up, we are looking for a Strategy Lead - Data & AI to lead engagements, accounts and teams. You take Data & AI engagements from strategy through implementation and make sure clients get real, measurable value out of data and AI. First, you manage a team of strategy consultants to shape the strategy with the client; selecting the right use cases, defining the roadmap, aligning stakeholders and validating the business impact. Then you lead the implementation track that turns that strategy into reality, steering a mix of strategy, implementation and expert profiles. You also ‘debug’ Data & AI organizations, for example by reshaping their operating model or ways of working. In this role, you’re the go-to partner for C-level and senior management, and you work hand in hand with technical experts from Datashift and the client. You own key client relationships and accounts, lead your own teams and help grow our Data & AI Strategy practice. A few examples of recent engagements (anonymized): A large multinational struggled to get value from a fragmented landscape of AI initiatives. We led the team that defined a short- and long-term AI
