Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a senior, client-facing role at a Y Combinator-backed enterprise AI startup, leading AI transformation across the DACH region from Munich. You will serve as a strategic partner to C-suite executives at large enterprises, owning regional outcomes and working closely with senior leadership to expand the company's footprint across Europe. The role sits at the intersection of hands-on AI building, executive consulting, and commercial growth.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3 or more years of relevant experience in enterprise transformation, top-tier consulting, or an AI-native company. - Background in a leading strategy consulting firm or equivalent large-scale enterprise transformation experience, or a founder or operator background at an AI-native company. - Proven track record leading C-level engagements and driving measurable transformation at large organisations. - Deep, hands-on experience building production AI agents, including model selection, evaluation design, and enterprise integration architecture. - Commercial experience across renewals, expansion, and multi-stakeholder revenue motions. - Experience building or scaling a regional team. - Native-level German proficiency; based in Munich or willing to relocate. - High agency, high ownership mindset with fast decision-making and concise communication.
