Strategy & Transformation Consultant

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Strategy & Transformation Consultant to lead our clients transition from initial ideas about AI and data into clear strategies, roadmaps and concrete initiatives that deliver measurable business impact.

You will lead early-phase conversations where AI and data maturity is often low, structure what the client is really trying to achieve, and define a roadmap for success. You will work at the interface of business and technology, from first discussions through to implementation.

We’re open to all experience levels; whether you’ve currently got a couple of years under your belt or you’re already a seasoned pro, we’d love to chat!

What you will do

• Work with business leaders whose needs are not yet clearly defined.
• Clarify objectives, constraints and expectations, and turn them into structured problem statements and realistic goals.
• Facilitate workshops, interviews and working sessions in environments where AI and data maturity vary widely.

• Translate business goals into concrete AI and data initiatives, portfolios and roadmaps.
• Define governance and prioritisation to match the client’s maturity and ambition level.
• Design operating models, roles and ways of working needed for sustained AI transformation.

• Ensure a shared understanding of goals, scope and constraints, and keep alignment from strategy through execution.
• Help clients see where AI makes sense (and where it does not) in the context of their processes, business models and technology.

• Join early client meetings to understand the situation and identify where we can create real value.
• Co-create proposals, scopes and engagement models that are realistic and outcome-driven

• Remain engaged as projects move from slides to delivery.
• Safeguard strategic intent and business value while technical teams execute.

• Contribute to our methods, frameworks and reference cases around AI-enabled transformation.
• Share lessons from client work, and help us refine how we approach AI-enabled business model renewal, process redesign and capability builds.
• Push broader transformation themes with clients, not only react to incoming requests.

What you bring

You are likely to have one or more of the following:

• Solid experience working at the interface of business and data/AI or digital transformation.
• Background in advisory-type consulting (strategy, digital, data/AI), or
• Experience in a larger company in at least middle-management roles with responsibility across multiple stakeholders.
• Proven track record in leading or owning (digital) transformation.
• Especially for less senior applicants: Education that signals strong analytical ability and comfort with complex systems is seen as an advantage (e.g. industrial engineering and management or similar).

You will need to be comfortable with:

• Leading early-phase, ambiguous discussions and turning them into clear problems, options and decisions.
• Designing AI and data strategies, operating models and roadmaps that fit the client’s context and maturity.
• Structuring thinking for others: frameworks, models, simple visuals that help people align.
• Navigating complex organisations with multiple stakeholders, interests and clients’ internal politics.

You will likely do well in this role if you prefer honest, content-driven discussions over buzzwords, and if you are willing to say “no” or “not yet” when something does not make sense.

Why this role might be interesting for you

You will not be “dropped into” predefined boxes. You will be part of the early discussions, help shape what we propose and how we work with clients, and then stay involved when the work starts.

We sell through our own expertise and advice, not through rigid offerings that you must push regardless of context.

You stay close to the work as it moves from strategy to implementation. The aim is real change in how our clients operate, not only decks.

There is clear potential for long-running partnerships where we become a strategic AI and data partner, not just a one-off supplier.

You can influence which industries you focus on and how we develop our AI/data transformation offering. There is space to build on your strengths.

Practicalities

• Location: You must be based in Finland and have a valid work permit in Finland.
• Office presence: Ability to visit our Helsinki office roughly once a week (sometimes more depending on client needs).
