About this role

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. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: €90,000 – €150,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. This is not a remote role.
