Job Description

So, what are the main responsibilities of the AI Strategy Manager in Netcompany's Enterprise Solutions?

Joining us as an AI Strategy Manager, you will own a portfolio of clients and the AI projects we deliver for them. You will be the person these clients call first. You will help them decide where AI creates value in their business, and you will be accountable for turning those decisions into projects that our team delivers.

This is a client and management role first. We are looking for someone who understands how large organisations work, where AI creates real value for them, and how to turn that understanding into projects that reach production and lead to further work.

You will report to the AI Leader and lead the engineers on your projects. You will work with our shared pool of architects on solution design and proposals, and you will rely on them for technical depth when a project needs it.

As the AI Strategy Manager, you will:

• Help clients define their AI strategy: where AI creates value in their business, which use cases to start with, and how to move from pilots to production.
• Build and manage relationships with senior stakeholders at our clients, from business owners to C-level, and act as their trusted advisor on AI adoption.
• Identify new opportunities with existing and new clients, shape them into concrete proposals, and lead the commercial side of the bid together with sales and the architecture team.
• Own the delivery of your projects: scope, plan, staffing, quality and client satisfaction.
• Staff projects with the right mix of seniority and keep the team utilised across your clients.
• Lead, coach and develop.
• Run client workshops, discovery sessions and steering meetings, and explain what AI can and cannot do in terms the business understands.
• Manage risks, escalations and difficult conversations with clients before they turn into problems.
• Report on the health of your portfolio to the AI Leader: pipeline, revenue, margin, utilisation and delivery status.

Qualifications

What would make you a fit for the role:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in consulting, systems integration or technology delivery, with at least 4 years in a client-facing management role such as engagement manager, delivery manager or account lead.
• A proven record of growing client accounts and winning new work, including writing and leading proposals.
• Experience leading teams of 5 or more people across several projects at the same time.
• Experience presenting to and negotiating with senior executives.
• Good knowledge of at least one of Financial Services, Telecommunications or Energy & Utilities, including how organisations in that sector make decisions, buy technology and operate under regulation.
• A working understanding of GenAI and AI delivery (LLMs, RAG, agents, evaluation, governance) that is deep enough to challenge a technical design and to judge whether a project is on track. Hands-on coding is not required.
• Fluency in Greek and English.

It would also be a plus if you match some of the following:

• An engineering background before moving into management.
• Experience with AI governance, responsible AI or the EU AI Act in a client context.
