Enterprise AI Transformation Lead, DACH

About the Role

This is a senior, client-facing role at a Y Combinator–backed enterprise AI startup, responsible for owning and scaling AI transformation across the DACH region from Munich. You'll work closely with founding leadership to help large enterprises become AI-native operators — acting as a trusted strategic partner to C-suite executives and building high-impact agent deployments that drive measurable outcomes.

What You'll Do

• Lead the full regional rollout across DACH, owning outcomes end-to-end from Munich.

• Serve as the primary AI transformation partner to CEOs, CIOs, and Chief Transformation Officers at large enterprises.

• Run accounts like consulting engagements: stakeholder mapping, diagnostic, roadmap, rollout, and measurable results.

• Diagnose where AI creates the most leverage and identify the highest-value automation use cases per customer.

• Build the first agents yourself to prove value, then scale adoption org-wide.

• Host executive workshops, briefings, and strategy-oriented QBRs to engage senior leadership.

• Navigate complex enterprise politics — find champions, remove blockers, and expand impact.

• Represent customer needs to product and engineering, prioritising what matters and pushing back when necessary.

• Help build and grow the regional team as the company expands across Europe.

• Continuously automate your own workflows by building agents to eliminate manual work.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of relevant experience in enterprise AI transformation, top-tier consulting, or an AI-native company.

• Proven track record leading C-level engagements and large-scale enterprise transformation programs.

• Hands-on AI expertise: shipping production agents, model routing, evaluation design, data residency, and enterprise integration architecture.

• Experience building and deploying agent workflows in enterprise AI platforms.

• Commercially sharp, with experience in renewals, expansions, and multi-stakeholder revenue motions.

• Experience building and leading a regional team.

• Native-level German fluency — essential for this role.

• Based in Munich or ready to relocate.

• High agency, fast decision-making, low ego, and a willingness to do hands-on work to drive results.

• Comfortable with frequent customer travel and multi-day on-site engagements.

• Ex-founder or early startup experience is a plus.
