Partner – Head of Data & AI

Location: Southern Germany (Hybrid)

About the Opportunity

An ambitious, fast-growing specialist advisory and investment organisation is building a next-generation consulting business dedicated exclusively to the Financial Services sector.

The firm combines strategic advisory, investment capabilities, and venture building to help leading financial institutions navigate complex transformation programmes. With an entrepreneurial culture, strong backing, and an experienced leadership team, this is a rare opportunity to build and lead a Data & AI practice from the ground up while becoming part of the firm's long-term growth story.

This is a genuine Partner-level opportunity offering significant influence, ownership and the ability to shape the future direction of the business.

The Role

This is not a position where you inherit an existing practice—you will build one.

You will take full ownership of the Data & AI business, defining its strategy, growing the leadership team, developing new offerings and leading business growth across the Financial Services market.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead the firm's Data & AI practice.
• Define strategy, operating model and service portfolio.
• Recruit, mentor and develop senior consulting leadership.
• Take ownership of the practice P&L and commercial performance.
• Originate and close major transformation programmes with executive-level clients.
• Develop long-term relationships across the Financial Services sector.
• Represent the business through industry events, publications and thought leadership.
• Shape the wider growth strategy as part of the senior leadership team.

What We're Looking For

You are an entrepreneurial leader with a proven history of building successful businesses, practices or high-performing consulting teams.

Experience

• Extensive leadership experience within Data & AI consulting or Financial Services transformation.
• Proven experience building and scaling consulting practices or enterprise Data & AI organisations.
• Strong commercial background with responsibility for significant revenue growth.
• Demonstrated success winning and delivering multi-million Euro transformation programmes.
• Deep understanding of AI, Data Strategy, Analytics, Data Platforms and Digital Transformation.
• Strong Financial Services domain expertise.

Leadership

• Proven people leader with experience hiring, coaching and developing senior consultants.
• Able to inspire high-performing teams while making commercially driven decisions.
• Comfortable operating in entrepreneurial, high-growth environments.

Network

• Well-established executive network across Financial Services.
• Trusted relationships with C-level stakeholders and senior technology leaders.

Languages

• Fluent German and English.

What's on Offer

• Genuine Partner-level position with significant long-term ownership opportunities.
• The opportunity to build and shape an entire business unit.
• Market-leading compensation with highly attractive performance incentives.
• Direct influence over strategy, investment and future growth.
• Entrepreneurial culture with rapid decision-making.
• International environment with offices across Europe.
• Excellent benefits package, flexible working and extensive career growth opportunities.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced Data & AI leader who wants to move beyond leading projects and instead build a market-leading practice with genuine ownership, strategic influence and long-term value creation.
