Data Consultant (m/f/d)

Who/What is Artefact? Artefact is a next-generation strategy and data consulting firm dedicated to transforming organizations through data and AI. We combine the rigor of top-tier strategy consulting with deep expertise in data, digital, and analytics to help clients achieve tangible business impact. With 2,000+ consultants, data scientists, and engineers across 26 countries, we work with global leaders such as Samsung, L’Oréal, Orange, and Sanofi. At our German offices, we are on a rapid growth trajectory, advising leading national and international clients cross-industry on how to unlock the full potential of their data, build scalable data architectures, and implement cutting-edge AI solutions. As a Senior Consultant (m/f/d) Data & AI Strategy , you will sit at the center of this mission. You won't just deliver static slides; you will bridge the gap between technical possibilities and business imperatives, guiding clients from a focused short-term engagement with Mittelstand manufacturers to multi-phase AI transformations with enterprises. In this role, you will take ownership of cross-functional workstreams, drive data-driven decision-making, and actively shape the digital future of our clients. What you will do: Client advisory & strategy: Work closely with (international) clients to understand their business needs and translate them into data-driven recommendations that support strategic decision-making and business transformation. Data & analysis: Collect, synthesise and iterate data to create actionable insights. You work with a modern, AI-native toolstack - from LLM-powered environments (e.g. Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) and agentic workflow tools (e.g. n8n, Lovable) to coding assistants and automation platforms - and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Familiarity with SQL or Python remains a plus, but the ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate analysis and delivery is what we value most. Projec
