Job description
About us:
We are a fast-growing data and AI consultancy, helping businesses leverage AI and data-driven solutions to create real business impact. Our expertise spans end-to-end design and implementation of AI and advanced analytics solutions for enterprises – from opportunity assessments and solution design to full-scale AI implementation.
As we continue to scale, we are committed to maintaining the highest quality standards in our deliveries. To support this growth, we are looking for a Delivery Lead to take a central role in managing AI & data projects, ensuring smooth execution, and exceeding customer expectations.
About the role:
As a Delivery Lead you will lead the delivery of AI and data-driven projects, working with cross-functional teams consisting of designers, data scientists, and software engineers. You will ensure that projects run efficiently, balancing agile practices, stakeholder management, and business impact.
This is a great opportunity to expand your delivery and project management experience while deepening your expertise in AI. We do not expect you to be an AI delivery expert yet — but we do expect a genuine interest in growing in this direction.
In this role, you will also frequently encounter consultative situations with customers. Being able to advise smoothly when they have a need or challenge—or knowing when to bring in the right expert—is a key part of your success. Your ability to navigate these discussions and build trust will play a critical role in delivering value and strengthening long-term relationships with our clients.
Key responsibilities:
Lead and manage AI & data deliveries, ensuring projects are executed effectively and align with business objectives.
Utilize agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) to facilitate smooth project execution.
Support customers in their AI- and data-related projects, facilitating development activities and fostering collaboration.
Conduct AI and data assessments to uncover needs and opportunities as well as supporting clients with roadmapping and planning their development activities.
Manage expectations and ensure that as a team, we match and exceed customer expectations.
Support pre-sales efforts, actively participating in pre-sales discussions and managing internal teams to develop project proposals.
What we offer:
Opportunity to work on high-impact data and AI transformation projects with leading industry experts.
Career growth in AI delivery leadership, consulting and solution design.
Continuous learning in AI, data, and business transformation.
International team and projects (we have offices in Finland and the US).
Competitive pay and benefits.
Flexible working environment – regarding remote work, for instance.
Strong sense of community in our team, with a range of events and activities to join.
Job requirements
Ideal experience and skills:
3+ years of experience in technology, IT, and/or consulting.
Strong experience leading projects, deliveries, and managing customers or stakeholders.
Prior experience in AI, data, or software development projects (priority in that order).
Commercial mindset with excellent organizational and client interaction skills.
Background in consulting is very beneficial - as an agile company we appreciate capability to carry a hybrid-role in our deliveries.
Familiarity with agile project management tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar.
A strong interest in data & AI beyond the hype, with a curiosity for how these technologies create real business value.
Fluency in English; Finnish is a major plus.
