A fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed enterprise AI automation startup is looking for an Enterprise AI Transformation Lead to own and scale AI-driven change across the DACH region from Munich. This is a senior, high-ownership role working directly with the founding team to help multibillion-euro enterprises become AI-native operators.
You will serve as a trusted strategic partner to C-suite leaders, personally build and deploy high-impact AI agent solutions, and play a central role in growing the regional team as the company expands across Europe. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of elite consulting, cutting-edge AI, and hands-on company building.
Own regional outcomes across DACH, operating primarily from Munich.
Act as AI transformation partner to CEOs, CIOs, and Chief Transformation Officers at large enterprises.
Run each account as a structured consulting engagement — stakeholder mapping, diagnostics, roadmapping, rollout, and measurable results.
Identify the highest-value AI use cases for each customer and diagnose where AI creates the most leverage.
Build the first agents yourself to prove value, then drive adoption org-wide.
Host executive workshops, strategic briefings, and leadership-oriented QBRs.
Navigate complex enterprise politics to find champions, remove blockers, and expand impact.
Collaborate closely with the founding team on regional strategy, key accounts, and Munich team-building.
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 to eliminate manual work.
Dealbreakers:
Native-level German proficiency — essential for C-suite engagements in the DACH market.
Based in Munich or fully willing to relocate.
3+ years of enterprise AI transformation experience delivering roadmaps and C-suite engagements at large enterprises.
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, QuantumBlack) or equivalent transformation track record.
Proven experience leading C-level engagements and driving large-scale enterprise transformations with measurable outcomes.
Deep hands-on AI expertise: agent building, model selection, eval design, and integration architecture.
Experience building and deploying agent workflows in enterprise AI platforms or equivalent tooling.
Commercial acumen across renewals, expansions, and multi-stakeholder revenue motions.
Experience building and leading a regional team with ambitions to scale across Europe.
Nice to Have:
Mindset: Extremely high agency, high energy, fast decision-making, concise communication. Low ego, high ownership — willing to do unglamorous work to drive results.
Salary: €90,000 – €150,000 per year, depending on experience.
Opportunity to grow into a regional leadership role as the company scales across Europe.
Visa sponsorship: Not available — candidates must already have the right to work in Germany.
This is an on-site role based in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Candidates must be located in Munich or willing to relocate. Frequent travel to customer sites across the DACH region is expected.
