About the Role

A fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed enterprise AI platform is hiring an Enterprise AI Transformation Lead to own and scale AI-driven change across the DACH region from Munich. You'll work directly with senior leadership to transform multibillion-euro enterprises into AI-native operators — acting as a trusted strategic partner to C-suite executives, building high-impact agent deployments, and helping grow the regional team as the company expands across Europe.

This is a high-agency, high-ownership role for someone who combines top-tier consulting instincts with deep hands-on AI expertise and the energy of an operator.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the regional rollout across DACH from Munich, owning regional outcomes end-to-end.

  • Serve as the AI transformation partner to CEOs, CIOs, and Chief Transformation Officers at large enterprises.

  • Run each account like a consulting engagement: stakeholder mapping, diagnostic, roadmap, rollout, and measurable outcomes.

  • Diagnose where AI creates the most leverage and identify the highest-value use cases for each customer.

  • Build the first agents yourself to prove value, then scale adoption org-wide.

  • Host executive workshops, briefings, and strategy-oriented QBRs that engage senior leadership.

  • Navigate complex internal politics to find champions, remove blockers, and expand impact.

  • Work directly with company leadership on regional strategy, key accounts, and team-building in Munich.

  • Represent the voice of the customer to product and engineering, prioritising what they need and pushing back when necessary.

  • Systematically automate your own workflows by building agents and processes that eliminate manual work.

What We're Looking For

Dealbreakers

  • Native-level German proficiency; based in Munich or fully willing to relocate.

  • 3+ years in enterprise AI transformation consulting, delivering transformation roadmaps and C-suite engagements for large enterprises.

  • Proven hands-on experience shipping production AI agents, including model routing, evaluation design, data residency considerations, and enterprise integration architecture.

Required

  • Tier-one consulting background (e.g. McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Roland Berger, or equivalent) or equivalent transformation experience delivering enterprise AI programmes.

  • Experience building and deploying agent workflows in enterprise AI platforms or equivalent environments.

  • Experience building and leading a regional team and scaling across European markets.

  • Proven track record leading C-level engagements at large enterprises — driving strategy, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes.

  • Commercially sharp: experience with enterprise renewals, expansions, and multi-stakeholder revenue motions.

  • Extremely high agency, fast decision-making, and concise communication style.

  • Low ego, high ownership — willingness to do the unsexy work to drive results.

Nice to Have

  • Ex-founder or early-stage startup experience.

  • Willingness to travel and spend multiple days per week at customer sites.

Visa: Sponsorship is not available for this role.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: €90,000 – €150,000 per year, depending on experience.

  • Opportunity to build and lead the DACH regional team from the ground up.

  • Work directly with senior leadership at a well-funded, high-growth AI company.

  • Meaningful ownership and influence over product direction as the primary customer voice.

Location

This is an on-site role based in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Candidates must be based in Munich or willing to relocate. Regular travel to customer sites across the DACH region is expected.
