## Description

Artefact is looking for an AI & Data Consulting Manager: someone who runs projects autonomously, develops the people on them, grows the client relationship - and builds with AI along the way.

Managers at Artefact are AI-literate builders. You use AI tools every day to produce your own work faster and better, and when a recommendation needs proof, you can prototype it: open Claude Code or Gemini CLI and turn an idea into something the client can click on. We need someone who is not afraid of the terminal - someone who, with the help and guidance of AI, will build the thing rather than just describe it.

What You''ll Do

 * Manage projects end to end: structure sub-streams, distribute work fairly, set team OKRs, and give sponsors clear visibility.
 * Build robust plans that anticipate deadlines, delays, and risks - and communicate them before they become surprises.
 * Structure mission deliverables: write C-level executive summaries autonomously and build presentation storylines with partner support.
 * Hold Artefact''s quality bar on everything that leaves the team.
 * Your recommendations are grounded in hands-on understanding of the AI stack.
 * Define client needs through interviews with client teams and technology partners, and translate them into strategic data and AI recommendations.
 * Prototype with AI tools - agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex - to test feasibility and make ideas tangible in workshops and steering committees.
 * Understand context engineering well enough to shape how clients connect AI to their data, documents, and systems (RAG, semantic layers, MCP).
 * Maintain specialization in at least one AI platform ecosystem - Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI - and keep it current.
 * Make the people under your influence progress.
 * Give precise, actionable feedback on analyses, decks, and client behavior.
 * Set SMART objectives, run proper evaluations, and keep the team engaged.
 * Coach consultants on AI-native ways of working: which tools, when, and how to verify what they produce.
 * Mentor juniors and seniors toward autonomy.
 * You will maximize client satisfaction and help expand the relationship.
 * Build the client development strategy with the partner; detect needs and shape farming proposals.
 * Maximize client NPS through delivery quality and relationship care.
 * Pitch Artefact: contribute to new business proposals and content development (research, articles, business cases).
