Director, AI & Data Consulting

Job summary

Responsibilities

Artefact is looking for a Director of AI & Data Consulting to help lead our US consulting practice. Our consultants are not spectators of the AI transformation they advise on — they are builders.

• Serve as the primary contact and trusted advisor for client executives — CMO, CDO, CIO, and often CEO — on data and AI transformation.
• Win engagements: develop the client portfolio, grow the US commercial pipeline, and build and present winning proposals.
• Lead multidisciplinary teams of consultants, data scientists, AI engineers, and analysts, and orchestrate Artefact's global offices when needed.
• Ensure delivery meets Artefact's quality bar: measurable impact, not just recommendations.
• Shape AI and data strategies, operating models, roadmaps, and adoption programs that survive contact with reality.

What they're looking for

• 8–10 years of demonstrated success at a consulting, technology, or media firm (or in-house in a related capacity), with robust experience managing both projects and clients.
• Proven ability to win work: a business development track record, preferably having built a book of business.
• Experience advising senior executives (C-level) on data, digital, or AI transformation.
• Demonstrated AI literacy as a builder: regular hands-on use of AI tools to produce real work — prototypes, analyses, automations — not only slideware.
• Working fluency with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex, and comfort in the terminal with AI guidance.
