The Role

Job Title

AI Strategist (m/f/d)

Location

• Berlin, Germany
• Why this role matters

Most enterprises know AI will redefine their sector, but lack the strategic and technical sparring needed to identify high-ROI opportunities and shape viable initiatives.

Embedded in our 5-person AI Strategy practice at the Berlin AI Campus, you will lead the strategic frontend—steering pre-sales, structuring complex AI engagements, and aligning executive ambition with technical reality.

What you'll do

Overall ownership of strategic AI advisory, pre-sales shaping, and high-impact machine learning use case roadmaps.

• Lead executive-level AI strategy engagements, defining high-impact ML use cases and measurable business outcomes.
• Drive commercial pipeline growth in partnership with the Growth team through pre-sales leadership and tailored proposal shaping.
• Act as the strategic sparring partner between client C-level leadership and internal machine learning engineering teams.
• Advance our AI Strategy practice by evolving proprietary advisory frameworks, tooling, and AI maturity models.
• Author high-signal thought leadership and represent our strategic AI perspective across industry forums and client networks.
• Who this is a fit for
• 2+ years in management consulting, strategic advisory, or high-growth tech environments.
• Solid practical grasp of modern ML architectures, capabilities, and business viability.
• Track record of steering C-level conversations, pre-sales pitches, and strategic client roadmaps.
• Background in quantitative or business disciplines (MBA, Computer Science, Data Science, or Analytics).
• Fluent in written and spoken German and English at a professional level (C1+).
• What it's like to work here

An entrepreneurial, high-ownership environment with flat hierarchies, a culture of rapid iteration, and open 360-degree feedback across the company.

Weekly and monthly AI innovation events on campus with flexible working hours and strong peer support.

• The offer
• High autonomy within a focused, entrepreneurial 5-person AI strategy team.
• Base at the Berlin AI Campus with direct access to leading AI founders and researchers.
• Flat hierarchies with transparent 360-degree feedback and rapid iteration cycles.
• Direct ownership to shape our AI strategy frameworks and client offerings from day one.
• This probably isn't for you if
• You see yourself primarily as an operational change manager or internal process coordinator.
• You lack practical curiosity and technical understanding of modern machine learning models and feasibility.
• You prefer delivering static corporate slide decks without driving strategic pre-sales and commercial impact.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first.

I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career.

Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire.

Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description.

We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
