Enterprise AI Transformation Lead, DACH

About the Role This is a senior, client-facing role at a Y Combinator–backed enterprise AI startup, responsible for owning and scaling AI transformation across the DACH region from Munich. You'll work closely with founding leadership to help large enterprises become AI-native operators — acting as a trusted strategic partner to C-suite executives and building high-impact agent deployments that drive measurable outcomes. What You'll Do Lead the full regional rollout across DACH, owning outcomes end-to-end from Munich. Serve as the primary AI transformation partner to CEOs, CIOs, and Chief Transformation Officers at large enterprises. Run accounts like consulting engagements: stakeholder mapping, diagnostic, roadmap, rollout, and measurable results. Diagnose where AI creates the most leverage and identify the highest-value automation use cases per customer. Build the first agents yourself to prove value, then scale adoption org-wide. Host executive workshops, briefings, and strategy-oriented QBRs to engage senior leadership. Navigate complex enterprise politics — find champions, remove blockers, and expand impact. Represent customer needs to product and engineering, prioritising what matters and pushing back when necessary. Help build and grow the regional team as the company expands across Europe. Continuously automate your own workflows by building agents to eliminate manual work. What We're Looking For 3+ years of relevant experience in enterprise AI transformation, top-tier consulting, or an AI-native company. Proven track record leading C-level engagements and large-scale enterprise transformation programs. Hands-on AI expertise: shipping production agents, model routing, evaluation design, data residency, and enterprise integration architecture. Experience building and deploying agent workflows in enterprise AI platforms. Commercially sharp, with experience in renewals, expansions, and multi-stakeholder revenue motions. Experience building and leading a regional team. Native-level German fluency — essential for this role. Based in Munich or ready to relocate. High agency, fast decision-making, low ego, and a willingness to do hands-on work to drive results. Comfortable with frequent customer travel and multi-day on-site engagements. Ex-founder or early startup experience is a plus. Compensation & Benefits Salary range: €90,000 – €150,000 per year . Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. Location On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany . This is not a remote role.
