Manager, AI & Data Consulting

<p>Artefact is a next-generation data and AI consulting firm dedicated to accelerating the adoption of data and AI to create measurable business impact across the full enterprise value chain.</p> <p>We sit at the intersection of consulting, data science, AI technologies, data engineering, and digital transformation. We do not just advise — we build, implement, and deliver results our clients can measure. Our teams bring together consultants, data scientists, data engineers, AI engineers, analysts, and digital experts to solve complex business challenges with pragmatic, production-ready solutions.</p> <p>As we continue to grow in the US, we are building a team of entrepreneurial data and AI talent who can help clients move beyond experimentation and into scalable, governed, value-generating AI adoption.</p> <p><strong>The Role</strong></p> <p>Artefact is looking for an AI & Data Consulting Manager: someone who runs projects autonomously, develops the people on them, grows the client relationship — and builds with AI along the way.<br>Managers at Artefact are AI-literate builders. You use AI tools every day to produce your own work faster and better, and when a recommendation needs proof, you can prototype it: open Claude Code or Gemini CLI and turn an idea into something the client can click on. We need someone who is not afraid of the terminal — someone who, with the help and guidance of AI, will build the thing rather than just describe it.</p> <p><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p> <ul> <li>Manage projects end to end: structure sub-streams, distribute work fairly, set team OKRs, and give sponsors clear visibility.</li> <li>Build robust plans that anticipate deadlines, delays, and risks — and communicate them before they become surprises.</li> <li>Structure mission deliverables: write C-level executive summaries autonomously and build presentation storylines with partner support.</li> <li>Hold Artefact's quality bar on everything that leaves the team.</li> <li>Your recommendations are grounded in hands-on understanding of the AI stack.</li> <li>Define client needs through interviews with client teams and technology partners, and translate them into strategic data and AI recommendations.</li> <li>Prototype with AI tools — agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex — to test feasibility and make ideas tangible in workshops and steering committees.</li> <li>Understand context engineering well enough to shape how clients connect AI to their data, documents, and systems (RAG, semantic layers, MCP).</li> <li>Maintain specialization in at least one AI platform ecosystem — Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI — and keep it current.</li> <li>Make the people under your influence progress.</li> <li>Give precise, actionable feedback on analyses, decks, and client behavior.</li> <li>Set SMART objectives, run proper evaluations, and keep the team engaged.</li> <li>Coach consultants on AI-native ways of working: which tools, when, and how to verify what they produce.</li> <li>Mentor juniors and seniors toward autonomy.</li> <li>You will maximize client satisfaction and help expand the relationship.</li> <li>Build the client development strategy with the partner; detect needs and shape farming proposals.</li> <li>Maximize client NPS through delivery quality and relationship care.</li> <li>Pitch Artefact: contribute to new business proposals and content development (research, articles, business cases).</li> </ul> <p><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></p> <ul> <li>5–7 years of full-time, client-facing work experience in consulting, technology, media
