Data & AI Consulting Manager (Athens, Greece)

D ONE is a premium consultancy specialized in data, AI, and transformation.

We help organizations turn ambition into impact by aligning strategy, building strong data foundations, delivering high-impact solutions at scale, and ensuring adoption and trust through governance and people focus. From Zurich, Munich, and Athens, we support clients across Europe with deep expertise along the entire data value chain. Our approach is pragmatic, people-centric, and built for lasting value.

As Data & AI Consulting Manager in our Athens hub, you own client engagements end to end: you lead the delivery team, manage senior stakeholders and make sure our technical work turns into business results. Our engagements range from focused proofs of concept to multi-year platform builds and managed services, for clients in Switzerland, the DACH region and Greece across industries such as retail, aviation, insurance, pharma and technology.

Your tasks will include:

• Lead engagements end to end, from scoping and planning through delivery, keeping scope, budget and quality under control on both fixed-price and time-and-material projects.
• Advise senior and C-level stakeholders on their data and AI roadmap, helping them identify and prioritise the use cases that deliver measurable value.
• Lead and develop your team, mentoring our Data & AI experts and fostering a culture of excellence, growth and pragmatic problem-solving.
• Grow existing accounts and win new ones by shaping proposals, estimates and presales conversations.
• Work closely with colleagues in Zurich and Munich, with occasional travel to Switzerland and to client sites.

What you bring:

• At least 8 years of professional experience, a significant part of it leading data and AI initiatives in consulting or in a comparable client-facing role.
• A proven track record in managing projects and budgets, with a solid understanding of the Data & AI lifecycle, from data strategy to production-grade solutions.
• Enough hands-on familiarity with modern data platforms (eg Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake) and cloud (Azure, AWS or GCP) to be credible with engineers and to challenge estimates.
• Experience taking GenAI or agentic AI use cases beyond the proof-of-concept stage.
• Confidence with senior stakeholders and complex organisations, and the ability to turn ambiguity into a clear plan.
• A down-to-earth, entrepreneurial and pragmatic attitude; you are a doer who can also think big.
• Excellent professional English; German is a plus.
• A university degree in business, engineering, computer science or a related field.

What we offer:

• An uncomplicated and low-noise environment that enables you to focus on what matters most: delivering value.
• An international team of talented people from diverse backgrounds who share an ambition for excellence and a sense of fun.
• Dedicated development through our D ONE Academy, including specialized leadership training, mentoring, and access to our global expert groups.
• Frequent offsite socializing events and a collaborative "one-team" spirit between Athens, Zurich, and Munich.

To be successful in this role you will need to:

• Strive to understand your clients' needs.
• Deliver high-impact results with clear, actionable insights.
• Have the intellectual agility required to get the job done in an easy-to-do-business-with way.
• Value clever and creative team play.
