CDI - Manager AI Builder - Paris

AI does not transform a company because it is available, but because employees embrace it to work differently. At Artefact, we are makers: “We Make AI Work”. Our job is not to comment on AI, it is to make it work, at the heart of businesses and at scale.

And it all starts with you.

Mission

As an AI Builder Manager, you will lead AI Adoption missions and programs that move AI from experimentation to business transformation. Working with executives and business leaders, you will define skill development programs, agent construction, and change management support. You are the engine of our missions: you ensure their quality, impact, and profitability, grow your teams, and develop your accounts alongside Directors and Partners.

You start with the challenges of business users, their processes, and their pain points to transform AI possibilities into tangible results. You remain a maker: you don't stop at the slide. You design engaging learning experiences, challenge and build functional AI solutions (no-code, low-code, vibe coding), and mobilize teams to move these solutions from prototype to sustainable usage.

You support organizations in transforming tasks, roles and responsibilities, and skills in the AI era. You articulate field initiatives (bottom-up) with large-scale transformation programs (top-down), in collaboration with our AI Strategy and Engineering teams. Your ambition: to make AI a lever for work transformation, with a concrete, measurable, and sustainable impact on teams and their performance.
