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.
