We advise leading national and international clients across industries on how to unlock the full potential of their data, build scalable data architectures and implement innovative AI solutions. As a **Senior Consultant (m/w/d) Data & AI Strategy**, you are at the center of this mission. You don't just deliver static presentations, but build the bridge between technological possibilities and business requirements.

In this role, you take responsibility for cross-functional workstreams, drive data-based decisions and actively shape the digital future of our clients.   What awaits you with us: - **Client Consulting & Strategy:** You work closely with (international) clients, understand their business requirements and translate these into data-driven recommendations that support strategic decisions and business transformation. - **Data & Analysis:** You collect, structure and prepare data for analysis. Using tools such as Excel, SQL and Python, you identify trends, patterns and concrete recommendations for action and communicate these clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. - **Project Delivery:** You take responsibility for project workstreams and ensure high-quality, on-time delivery in line with the overarching project goals. You work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams from the areas of Consulting, Data and Tech. - **Data & AI Solutions:** You support the development of data strategies, AI use cases and business intelligence solutions and contribute to governance frameworks and implementation roadmaps. - **Knowledge Transfer & Collaboration:** You contribute to a strong team culture by sharing your knowledge, keeping up to date with digital trends and AI developments, and supporting the continuous development of the team.   What you bring: At our core, we define ourselves through a culture of personal responsibility, intellectual curiosity and collaboration.

You enjoy identifying business challenges and translating them into practical AI- and data-driven solutions. - **Technical Skills:** You are confident using Excel and PowerPoint. Practical experience with statistical tools, BI software or programming languages such as SQL, R or Python for data exploration and preparation is a clear plus. - **Communication & Team Spirit:** You communicate complex technical topics clearly and comprehensibly in both German and English.

You thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy solving complex problems. - **Language Skills:** Very good German and English skills are a basic requirement.
