AI Transformation Manager

Job Summary:

Job Description:

Core Responsibilities

AI Opportunity and Roadmap

• Work with BU leaders to identify and prioritise AI use cases based on commercial impact, customer experience, feasibility and strategic fit.

• Translate priorities into actionable roadmaps and help teams build the business cases to move forward.

• Share successful approaches across BUs, so when something works in one business others can benefit.

Implementation Support

• Act as the practical implementation partner as BUs drive AI initiatives from concept to deployment.

• Guide and advise BUs on cost-efficient tool use and synergy creation across the Group.

• Identify and remove blockers, such as process friction, data gaps and change resistance, to keep projects moving from pilot to production.

• Run AI pilots designed to generate transferable learnings and scalable outcomes.

Capability Building

• Support BU AI Champions day to day with guidance, escalation paths and access to Modaxo AI Center of Excellence resources.

• Run practical training, especially prompt crafting and real-world AI use, to build skills at team level.

• Help AI Champions grow into confident, independent leads so BUs do not rely on central support for every question.

Group Leader Partnership

• Maintain a live group AI roadmap defining the key themes and initiatives to roll out across all BUs.

• Keep the Group Leader informed on progress, blockers and decisions that need their input.

• Make AI adoption a visible part of normal operational performance conversations.

• Define the AI governance approach for the Group.

Who We're Looking For

The strongest candidates will have made complex change happen inside real businesses, not just planned it. Backgrounds in consulting, transformation or senior business partnering tend to work well.

Essential

• Track record of driving adoption of significant change programmes in complex, multi-site organisations.

• Background in business transformation, change management, senior commercial or operational roles with meaningful change exposure, or management consulting with relevant transformation experience.

• Comfortable managing multiple stakeholder relationships and competing priorities across business units, and used to getting things done through people who do not report to you.

• A genuine, hands-on user of AI in a professional context: credible, curious and up to date.

• Understands the realities of running a business unit, including commercial pressures, imperfect systems and limited bandwidth; a practitioner mindset.

• Fluent in English and German, written and spoken; additional European languages are a plus.

Desirable

• Experience in a multi-business group or divisional structure.

• Familiarity with AI adoption or change frameworks (ADKAR, Kotter and similar).

• Modaxo or sector-relevant background.

Practical

This is a full-time role reporting to the Group Leader. Occasional business travel is required, primarily within Europe but not exclusively.
