You translate business problems into prioritised AI solutions and roadmaps, and guide clients in implementing them with the support from our team of talented engineers and developers. Your role focuses on understanding business challenges and designing strategies based on a deep understanding of AI, rather than writing code.

• Define AI roadmaps and prioritised use case portfolios, anchored in business case and ROI
• Design (together with technical experts) and advise on data science and generative AI solutions for complex business problems
• Guide clients through AI transformation programmes, from vision to implementation
• Advise C-suite and senior stakeholders on AI adoption strategy and organisational change
• Bring emerging technology thinking to client conversations and internal teams

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Experience in an AI, data, or technology consulting role, preferably at a consulting firm or digital agency
• Strong track record working with enterprise clients, particularly across EMEA markets
• Confident working with senior stakeholders, from C-suite to IT product owners and marketing leaders
• Ability to build business cases and communicate ROI of AI initiatives
• Understanding of AI transformation, change management, and enterprise implementation
• Deep understanding of Generative AI, NLP, and MLOps concepts
• Familiarity with Python, SQL, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is a plus
• Analytical, commercially minded, and a strong communicator

WE OFFER

• A reputation for doing good. DEPT® has been a Certified B Corp® since 2021, has been named a Great Place To Work since 2022 in the Netherlands and named ‘Agency of the Year’ at both The Lovies and The Webby Awards.
