The work includes regular days at the client's office.\n\nLanguage Professional Finnish and fluent English. Many of our clients work in Finnish, while a lot of our client teams and our own community run in English.\nSkills Strategy and transformation leadership at the business and technology interface, AI and data strategy, operating models and roadmaps, leading ambiguous early-phase discovery, facilitation and stakeholder work up to C-level, change leadership across cross-channel and increasingly agentic processes, daily hands-on use of current AI tools, honest content-driven advising\nDESCRIPTION\nAre you the person who can work with a client's leadership while their AI and data ambitions are still fuzzy, and turn that into a direction they can actually act on?\nPlenty of firms will sell them a strategy deck and move on. At Nitor we do it differently: we lead the transformation with the client and leave them able to run it themselves.\nAs a Strategy & Transformation Coach, you work at the interface of business and technology, from the first messy conversation through to real change on the ground.\nWhat this role actually is\nYour job is to structure what the client is really trying to achieve, define a realistic path to it, and stay close enough to delivery that the intent survives contact with production. AI is the lever here, not the point. What matters first is the judgement to know which bets are worth taking, and the credibility to carry a room of senior stakeholders with you. The shape of the work varies a lot by client. For some it's a focused AI and data strategy for one part of the business. For others it's broader: cross-channel and increasingly agentic processes that run across several products, channels, and functions at once, where the real question is how the whole organisation should work. This kind of work has come up concretely in our client cases over the past year. Often the client doesn't yet know whose problem this is, or where in the organisation the change should land. Drawing that boundary, while it's still being drawn, is a core part of the job.\nAcross an engagement, the day-to-day looks something like:\nLeading early, ambiguous AI and data conversations with business leaders, and turning vague ambition into clear problems, options, and decisions\nShaping AI and data strategies, operating models, and roadmaps that fit the client's real maturity and context, not a template\nDesigning the roles, governance, and ways of working a transformation needs to survive past the kickoff\nBridging business and technical teams so the intent set in strategy still stands when engineers are building\nStaying close as the work moves from slides to delivery, and protecting the business value while it gets built\nHelping clients see where AI genuinely fits their processes and business model, and where it doesn't, and being willing to say \"not yet\"\nCoaching the client's own leaders and teams to carry the change, so the capability stays when we leave\nJoining early client conversations and helping shape what we propose, because at Nitor we sell through expertise, not through offerings we have to push\nPushing broader transformation themes with clients rather than only reacting to incoming requests, and feeding what you learn back into how Nitor does this work\nWhat could you bring with you?\nThere's no clean checklist, but here's the shape of it.\nA track record of leading real change You're likely to have one or more of the following: advisory or consulting experience in strategy, digital, or data and AI transformation; experience in a larger organisation in a broader role, carrying responsibility across many stakeholders; or a proven record of leading or owning a real transformation. This is not an entry-level role. You need enough behind you to be credible in a room of senior stakeholders, up to C-level, and the judgement that only comes from having done it. Your experience and the lessons in it are what let you lead this in an accelerating AI era, without pretending anyone arrives with a finished playbook.\n\nYou leave people capable, not dependent You can drive a change yourself when the client needs someone to hold the pen, and you've done it. But you measure success by what the client can run without you once you're gone: who owns which decision, what gets escalated and to whom, and whether the operating model survives contact with a busy quarter. You coach the client's own leaders as you go, not just at the end.\n\nYou turn ambiguity into decisions You're comfortable in early-phase, undefined conversations, and you can turn them into clear problems, options, and decisions. You can make complex things legible for others with simple models and visuals that help people align, and you know a model is a means, not the point. You can navigate a complex organisation with many stakeholders, competing interests, and internal politics without losing the thread.\n\nAI and data judgement, in the language of the business You can tell the difference between a technically elegant AI solution and one the organisation's actual data, governance, and decision-making can support. Value here rarely comes from the model itself; it comes from whether the organisation can act consistently on what the model produces. You translate that judgement for people who don't live in the detail: what's realistic given where the client actually is, not where the vendor slide says they should be.\n\nA preference for honesty over buzzwords You'd rather have a content-driven conversation than a fashionable one, and you have the backbone to say \"no\" or \"not yet\" when something doesn't make sense. You know a transformation is real when it shows up in budgets, decision rights, and what gets measured, not in how polished the roadmap slide looks.\nWhat if you choose us?\nWe believe that recruitment is not about a company selecting a new employee. Ultimately, you make the choice. And we're here to help you make it.
