Enterprise AI Transformation Lead, DACH

ABOUT THE ROLE This is a senior, high-ownership role at a Y Combinator–backed enterprise AI startup, sitting at the intersection of strategic consulting and hands-on AI delivery. You'll own regional outcomes across DACH, acting as a trusted AI transformation partner to C-suite executives at multibillion-euro enterprises while working directly with company leadership to shape strategy and grow the Munich team. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Lead the end-to-end rollout of the company's AI platform across DACH, owning regional pipeline and outcomes from Munich. - Serve as the primary transformation partner to CEOs, CIOs, and Chief Transformation Officers at large enterprises. - Run accounts as consulting engagements: stakeholder mapping, diagnostics, roadmaps, rollouts, and measurable business outcomes. - Identify the highest-value AI use cases per customer and personally build the first agents to demonstrate value. - Drive org-wide adoption by navigating internal politics, securing executive champions, and removing blockers. - Host workshops, executive briefings, and strategy-focused quarterly reviews to sustain and grow engagement. - Represent the voice of the customer to product and engineering, advocating for what matters most. - Continuously automate your own workflows by building agents and processes on the platform itself. - Build and scale the regional team in Munich as the business expands across Europe. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3+ years of experience in enterprise AI transformation, management consulting, or equivalent roles delivering C-suite engagements at large enterprises. - Background at a top-tier strategy consultancy or equivalent transformation experience; ex-founder experience is a strong plus. - Hands-on AI power user: proven ability to ship production agents, design evaluations, handle model routing, address data residency requirements, and architect enterprise integrations. - Experience deploying agent workflows on enterprise AI platforms or equivalent tooling. - Commercially sharp, with a track record in renewals, expansions, and multi-stakeholder revenue motions. - Demonstrated ability to build and lead regional teams and scale across geographies. - Native-level German fluency; based in Munich or ready to relocate. - High agency, high energy, low ego — comfortable doing the unglamorous work alongside the strategic work. - Willingness to travel and spend significant time at customer sites. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: €90,000 – €150,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Candidates must be based in Munich or willing to relocate.
