About us 

Do you want to actively drive Switzerland’s digital transformation in the age of AI and support decision-makers as a trusted sparring partner?
ELCA Advisory is the independent partner for sovereign AI and digital transformation in Switzerland’s core sectors.
We shape Switzerland’s sovereign AI transformation, moving strategy, delivery and change in lockstep. Our experienced consultants and coaches work alongside 2,000+ engineers, sovereign solutions, infrastructure and AI cybersecurity experts — what we shape with clients is what ELCA can build and scale.
To support our growth, we are looking for a Consultant with a strong interest in AI-powered Digital Business Transformation to strengthen our teams in Pully/Lausanne and Geneva.

• Supporting the building and nurturing of lasting client relationships, including contributing to proposals and public tenders
• Actively contributing to the development of ELCA Advisory through knowledge sharing and internal initiatives
