Enterprise AI Transformation Lead, DACH

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.

• 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.

Deal breakers:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
