You translate between business and technology with confidence, without needing to build production systems yourself. * You have arrived at a clear conviction: AI doesn't just change IT - it changes how entire organisations operate. You think in terms of parallel transformation across business, people, and technology, not sequential rollout. * Solid command of change management frameworks such as ADKAR, and organisational design methods including Team Topologies, Value Stream Mapping, or Operating Model Design - the broader your toolkit, the better. * Familiar with AI governance requirements, including the EU AI Act, risk assessment approaches, and ethics principles for AI deployment. * A track record of identifying and shaping new opportunities within client relationships, and the confidence to drive these forward independently. * written and spoken communication skills in German and English - both are required.
