Enterprise AI Transformation Lead, DACH

About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE

A fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed enterprise AI platform is looking for an Enterprise AI Transformation Lead to own and scale AI-driven change across the DACH region, based in Munich. You'll work directly with senior leadership to transform large, multibillion-euro enterprises into AI-native operators — serving as a trusted strategic partner to C-suite executives while also rolling up your sleeves to build and deploy AI agents yourself.

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at the intersection of enterprise transformation consulting and cutting-edge AI. You'll shape regional strategy, grow a local team, and be a direct voice from customers back to product and engineering.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Lead the DACH regional rollout of the company's agentic AI platform, owning regional outcomes end-to-end from Munich.

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

- Run each account like a consulting engagement: stakeholder mapping, diagnostics, transformation roadmaps, rollouts, and measurable outcomes.

- Identify the highest-value AI use cases per customer and diagnose where AI creates the most leverage.

- Build the first AI agents yourself to prove value, then scale adoption across customer organisations.

- Host executive workshops, briefings, and strategy-oriented business reviews that engage senior leadership.

- Navigate complex enterprise politics — find champions, remove blockers, and expand impact.

- Contribute directly to regional strategy, key accounts, and team-building in Munich alongside senior leadership.

- Represent the voice of the customer to product and engineering, prioritising their needs and pushing back when necessary.

- Systematically automate your own workflows by building agents and automated processes to eliminate manual work.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Dealbreakers:

- Native-level German proficiency (written and spoken).

- Based in Munich or fully willing to relocate.

- 3+ years leading enterprise AI transformation engagements with C-suite stakeholders 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, or equivalent) or equivalent transformation experience delivering enterprise AI programmes.

- Deep, practical AI power-user skills: building and deploying agent workflows in enterprise AI platforms, model selection, eval design, and integration architecture.

- Proven track record driving C-level strategy, roadmaps, and measurable transformation outcomes.

- Experience building and leading a regional team and scaling operations across Europe.

- Commercially sharp: experience owning renewals, expansions, and multi-stakeholder revenue motions.

- Extremely high agency, fast decision-making, concise communication, and a low-ego, high-ownership mindset.

Nice to Have:

- Ex-founder or startup experience in an AI-native company.

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

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Salary: $90,000 – $150,000 USD annually.

- Opportunity to work directly with senior leadership and shape the European expansion of a well-backed AI platform.

- Visa sponsorship: Not available — candidates must already have the right to work in Germany.

LOCATION

- Primary location: Munich, Bavaria, Germany.

- Work arrangement: On-site. Relocation to Munich is required.

- Regular travel to customer sites across the DACH region is expected.
