AI Change Management Consultant

Nion is an IT consultancy and Tech Partner with offices in Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg, Skopje, Bitola and Sofia, where 200+ IT specialists work together to deliver tailored digital solutions. We help mid-market and large organisations across the Nordics and the UK simplify complex challenges and turn AI ambition into real business value. What we do spans Data, AI and Adoption. We bring agnostic data and AI platforms, Forward Deployed Engineers embedded inside client teams, AI-first Cloud Teams, and hands-on advisory and adoption — because sustainable change covers platforms, processes and people, not just technology. This unique combination of advisory, adoption and deep technical delivery capability is what lets us create enormous value for our customers. But that value is only realised through active dialogue and experienced change management at management-team level — and that is exactly where this role sits. We are looking for an experienced AI Change Management Consultant — based in our Stockholm office and working with clients across the Nordics, the UK. We already have many of the pieces: the engineering foundation and the Forward Deployed Engineers who build AI into live operations, the data platforms, infrastructure and tooling, and our education and enablement services. What we need are experienced consultants to lead theorganisational and human side of AI transformation — who takes a medium or large organisation that is still experimenting with AI, with a traditional mindset and traditional structures, and guides it to become a genuinely AI-first organisation across organisation, processes, infrastructure, platforms, tools and, above all, people. What the role is about This is a change-management and organisational-advisory role — a management consultant with a genuine focus on organisation, ways of working and people — combined with a deep, current understanding of AI transformation and what it actually takes to move an enterprise from AI experiments to an AI-first operating model. You work at senior manager and leadership level to set direction, and you work with the client organisations to make change real. Our research and delivery experience is clear on one point: the characteristics that make an organisation ready for AI — fast flow, psychological safety, shared decision-making, agility, and clear, measurable processes — are the same characteristics that have made organisations successful for the past twenty years. Your job is to build that readiness deliberately, but also help organisations to shift mindset, organisation, and process to fully take advantage of the emerging capabilities of AI. Our vision for AI is human-centric. AI deployed in a robust but safe and governable way, has the potential to free up human attention and creativity towards vision, innovation, judgement, quality and accountability. AI amplifies, which applies to the good and the bad. It also exposes silos, unclear ownership and broken processes. You help organisations navigate that shift with clarity and confidence, not fear. You therefore help establish Nion as a trusted partner on all levels from strategy, through change and adoption, to technology and delivery. What you'll do You own the change agenda from ambition to adopted reality, working across five areas: - AI readiness & maturity assessment — diagnosing where a client really is: process maturity, data foundations, team dynamics, governance, leadership alignment and cultural readiness — and defining a realistic destination. - Transformation strategy & operating model — designing the target AI-first operating model: how work is organised, where decisions sit, which processes are redesigned, and how the organisation governs architecture, data, quality and accountability. - Change & adoption leadership — stakeholder management, communication, capability building and behavioural change so that new ways of working are embraced across the organisation and outlast the engagement. - Governance, sovereignty & compliance — embedding governance, risk and responsible-AI practice — data, digital and AI sovereignty, GDPR and the EU AI Act — as active leadership decisions, built in rather than bolted on. - Value & orchestration — quantifying business value, prioritising where to start fast, and orchestrating Nion's engineers, data specialists, educators and the client's own teams into one coherent transformation programme. Throughout, you translate between the boardroom and the delivery team, and you account for business value, AI spend, total cost of ownership, sovereignty, governance and compliance at every step. Your profile - Minimum 8 years in management consulting, organisational development or transformation, with a strong track record in change management and ways-of-working change in medium and large organisations - A genuine, current understanding of AI and its organisational implications — what generative AI, and agentic AI change about how work is designed, governed and performed (you don't need to build the models, but you must understand how teams and organisations work with them) - Proven ability to run enterprise change: operating-model design, process redesign, stakeholder management, capability building and adoption at scale - Strong command of a recognised change-management approach (e.g. ADKAR/Prosci, Kotter or equivalent) and comfort adapting it to AI-driven transformation. Also comfortable tailoring your own approach based on the constraints and needs of the client. - Solid understanding of AI governance, data protection and responsible AI — GDPR and the EU AI Act — and how to make them practical for leadership teams - Confident and credible with C-level and board stakeholders, and equally comfortable embedded with the teams doing the work - Able to quantify value and connect transformation to measurable business outcomes — comfortable selling and delivering outcomes rather than headcount
