Senior AI Consultant

Lead end-to-end AI engagements for enterprise clients — from strategy framing to production deployment — within a boutique that values precision, autonomy, and measurable impact.

About the role

As a Senior AI Consultant at ProActys, you serve as the primary trusted advisor for C-level stakeholders navigating their AI transformation. You combine deep technical fluency with business acumen to design AI strategies that deliver tangible, measurable value — not just prototypes that never leave the lab.

You work across sectors (financial services, pharma, manufacturing, public sector) and across the full engagement lifecycle: opportunity assessment, use-case prioritisation, solution architecture, vendor evaluation, implementation oversight, and post-launch performance tracking.

Key responsibilities

• Lead AI strategy workshops and maturity assessments for enterprise clients, translating complex technical possibilities into actionable business roadmaps

• Design and oversee end-to-end AI project delivery — from data readiness audits to model deployment and change management

• Conduct use-case discovery sessions, build business cases with ROI modelling, and present recommendations to executive committees

• Architect AI solutions leveraging LLMs, computer vision, NLP, and predictive analytics, selecting the right tool for each business problem

• Manage relationships with technology partners (cloud providers, AI platform vendors) and coordinate multi-stakeholder project teams

• Mentor junior specialists and contribute to ProActys thought leadership through Insights articles, conference talks, and internal knowledge-sharing

• Ensure all AI implementations comply with the EU AI Act, Swiss data protection regulations, and ethical AI principles

Your profile

• Master's degree or higher in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field

• 5+ years of experience in AI/ML consulting, data science, or AI product development — at least 2 years in a client-facing advisory role

• Proven track record of delivering AI projects from strategy through to production in enterprise settings

• Strong understanding of ML/DL frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), and MLOps best practices

• Excellent communication skills — able to translate technical concepts for non-technical executives and board members

• Fluent in English; German and/or French is a strong plus

• Swiss work permit or EU/EFTA citizenship

Nice to have

• Experience with LLM-based applications (RAG architectures, fine-tuning, prompt engineering at scale)

• Knowledge of AI governance frameworks (ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF) and the EU AI Act classification system

• Familiarity with regulated industries (banking, insurance, pharma) and their specific compliance requirements

• Certifications such as AWS ML Specialty, Azure AI Engineer, or Google Cloud Professional ML Engineer
