Manager, AI & Data Consulting

The Role

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.

What You'll Do

• Manage projects end to end: structure sub-streams, distribute work fairly, set team OKRs, and give sponsors clear visibility.
• Build robust plans that anticipate deadlines, delays, and risks — and communicate them before they become surprises.
• Structure mission deliverables: write C-level executive summaries autonomously and build presentation storylines with partner support.
• Hold Artefact's quality bar on everything that leaves the team.
• Your recommendations are grounded in hands-on understanding of the AI stack.
• Define client needs through interviews with client teams and technology partners, and translate them into strategic data and AI recommendations.
• 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.
• Understand context engineering well enough to shape how clients connect AI to their data, documents, and systems (RAG, semantic layers, MCP).
• Maintain specialization in at least one AI platform ecosystem — Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI — and keep it current.
• Make the people under your influence progress.
• Give precise, actionable feedback on analyses, decks, and client behavior.
• Set SMART objectives, run proper evaluations, and keep the team engaged.
• Coach consultants on AI-native ways of working: which tools, when, and how to verify what they produce.
• Mentor juniors and seniors toward autonomy.
• You will maximize client satisfaction and help expand the relationship.
• Build the client development strategy with the partner; detect needs and shape farming proposals.
• Maximize client NPS through delivery quality and relationship care.
• Pitch Artefact: contribute to new business proposals and content development (research, articles, business cases).

What We're Looking For

• 5–7 years of full-time, client-facing work experience in consulting, technology, media, or a related field.
• Proven experience managing projects and small teams autonomously in a client environment.
• Demonstrated AI literacy as a builder: daily use of AI tools for real work, and hands-on experience prototyping with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, or similar).
• Comfort in the terminal and with modern AI workflows, with the judgment to verify what AI produces.
• Working knowledge of at least one AI platform ecosystem — Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI — and of core GenAI concepts (RAG, agents, context engineering).
• Excellent communication skills: C-level-ready writing and presence, structured storytelling, and precise feedback.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and a conviction that decisions should be made with facts and data.
• Undergraduate degree, preferably in business, technology, or another field related to our work.

Preferred Experience

• Strategy consulting and/or digital marketing background.
• SQL or Python skills for hands-on analysis.
• Experience contributing to proposals and business development.
• Intercultural experience across global teams.
