## About the Role

* Background. Outstanding degree in an analytical field from a top-tier university, or a track record that speaks for itself.

 * Experience. Minimum 5 years in a high-pressure, results-driven environment - top strategy consultancy with a strong data and AI practice, or fast-growing AI-native technology company. Deep hands-on experience delivering data and AI projects is required. An established network across the data, AI, and financial services community is expected at this level.

 * Industry Focus. You have worked inside or deeply alongside financial services institutions. Sub-sector expertise in insurance preferred, but we would consider experience in banking, asset management, or payments as well.

 * Technical Depth. Fluency in modern data and AI stacks - machine learning, generative AI, cloud platforms, production deployment. You have advised and shipped real systems, not just slides.

 * Leadership. You have led teams that delivered. We hire managers who build businesses, not just project plans.

 * Analytical edge. Data-driven by default. Leverage data to drive decisions, not just decorate slides.

 * Languages. Fluent in English and German. Additional languages are a plus.
