  • Experience designing or overseeing ML / AI solutions in production
  • Strong understanding of data modelling, governance, and large-scale systems
  • Experience in client-facing or consulting environments
  • Ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders at senior level

Benefits & conditions

What's in it for you:
