Job description

As a (Senior) Director Strategy & AI Transformation at vector8 in Switzerland, you act as a trusted advisor to C-suite leaders across Financial Services and Insurance, shaping and delivering enterprise-wide AI-driven transformation agendas. You originate and lead high-impact engagements – from defining strategic ambition and unlocking new growth opportunities to driving large-scale implementation across operating models, technology and culture. In doing so, you deliver measurable and sustainable business outcomes while embedding lasting organizational change.

You will join a small, entrepreneurial, multi-disciplinary team where you play a pivotal role in shaping the firm’s strategic direction, market positioning, and growth trajectory. Leveraging your strong consulting foundation, you will drive business development, build and expand senior client relationships, and lead high-performing teams. This role requires a passion for impact, proven leadership experience, and the ability to operate at the intersection of strategy, AI, and commercial growth, alongside a willingness to travel for high-profile client engagements.

  • 12 - 15+ years of experience in top-tier consulting and/or industry leadership roles, with significant exposure to complex, regulated industries (e.g., financial services, insurance, banking)
  • Proven track record of originating, selling, and delivering large-scale transformation programs at executive level
  • Demonstrated experience advising C-level and Board-level stakeholders on enterprise strategy and transformation
  • Deep expertise in strategy, operating model transformation, and AI/data-driven business innovation, with the ability to shape enterprise-wide agendas
  • Strong commercial acumen, including business development and account expansion
  • Recognized leader with the ability to build, scale, and lead high-performing teams and leadership layers
  • Established thought leadership in AI and/or digital transformation (e.g., publications, speaking engagements, industry recognition)
  • Advanced understanding of AI strategy, governance, and large-scale implementation, including risk, regulatory, and ethical considerations
  • Exceptional communication, influencing, and stakeholder management skills across senior executive audiences
  • Fluency in German and English required; French a strong plus
  • Act as a trusted strategic partner to C-suite and Board-level executives, shaping enterprise-wide strategy and transformation agendas
  • Originate, lead, and scale high-impact client engagements, including owning senior client relationships and driving long-term account growth
  • Define and lead large-scale, multi-year transformation programs, ensuring measurable business impact across strategy, operations, technology, and culture
  • Drive the firm’s AI transformation proposition, including development of new offerings, methodologies and market positioning
  • Take ownership of business development and revenue generation, including pipeline creation, proposal leadership, and closing strategic deals
  • Build and nurture senior client relationships, positioning yourself as a long-term advisor across the client organization
  • Lead, mentor, and develop the team, fostering a strong leadership pipeline and high-performance culture
  • Shape and embed best-in-class strategy and AI methodologies, ensuring consistent delivery excellence across engagements
  • Represent the firm externally through thought leadership, publications, and industry events, strengthening market presence and credibility

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
