AI Transformation Manager (f/m/d)

AI is redefining how companies compete. Most organizations know they need to transform but only few know how to realize it. As AI Transformation Manager at Merantix Momentum, you are the person who bridges that gap: turning strategic ambition into lasting organizational change.

Merantix Momentum is developing the next generation of impact-driven AI. As a Berlin-based startup, we are driving enterprise AI transformations across industries by building and deploying B2B solutions, orchestrating scaled, AI-native operations. We work across several domains including automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, and others, transforming businesses through ML using our core expertise in state-of-the-art machine learning. Our start-up DNA defines the way we drive rapid value creation with a humble, diverse, and hungry team.

As an AI Transformation Manager at Merantix Momentum, you bring deep domain and consulting experience to lead clients through end-to-end AI transformation, from identifying strategic opportunities to driving organizational and technical change at scale. You are equally comfortable leading a focused 6-week engagement with a 500-person Mittelstand manufacturer as well as a multi-phase transformation with a large enterprise. You act as a trusted sparring partner to executives, steer complex transformation programs across functions, and bridge the gap between technical possibilities and business imperatives.

You support our business growth by contributing to lead conversion, proposal writing, and pre-sales activities with entrepreneurial energy. With a strong presence and an opinionated point of view, you represent Merantix Momentum’s AI Transformation perspective externally through expert discussions, LinkedIn content, and thought leadership in our core verticals.

Internally, you contribute to the continuous development of our AI Transformation offering by evolving expertise, methods, and tools, leading by example with a fast-paced, can-do attitude and high degree of self-assurance. You are fluent in modern AI trends and applied technology and you can educate, challenge, and influence stakeholders with credibility and confidence.

You don't just advise on AI: you understand how it truly works. You are fluent in modern AI capabilities and can explain how AI capabilities, products, and bespoke Machine Learning solutions are built. This allows you to credibly champion solutions, evaluate investment choices, navigate technical trade-offs, and convince key stakeholders of AI's transformative value.

Your main responsibilities will include the following:

• Lead AI Transformation Programs: Steer the end-to-end execution of AI transformation engagements — from first lighthouse use case to company-wide rollout. Find the internal champions, manage the blockers, build multi-threaded stakeholder relationships, and drive measurable adoption and organizational change.

• Support Key Account Growth: Convert pipeline opportunities into growing account relationships and multi-layered transformation programs with the Sales team; support pre-sales, proposal writing, and key-account expansion with an entrepreneurial mindset.

• Thought Leadership & Advocacy: Represent Merantix Momentum's opinion on AI transformation by inspiring and challenging stakeholders with opinionated, hands-on perspectives on applied AI trends, real-world adoption pathways, and what it actually takes to move from pilot to scale.

• Advance the AI Transformation practice: Evolve our methodologies, tools, and frameworks to keep our offering state-of-the-art and to develop reusable transformation playbooks, bringing in consulting or domain expertise into the team.

• Enable Colleagues: Advise colleagues on AI transformation best practices by leading project teams, sharing lessons learned, and contributing to a fast-paced, can-do culture.

When applying please include a cover letter explaining your fit and motivation for this role as AI Transformation Manager.
