You work with a modern, AI-native toolstack - from LLM-powered environments (e.g. Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) and agentic workflow tools (e.g. n8n, Lovable) to coding assistants and automation platforms - and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Familiarity with SQL or Python remains a plus, but the ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate analysis and delivery is what we value most.</li> <li><strong>Project delivery:</strong> Take ownership of project workstreams and ensure high-quality, timely delivery in alignment with overall project goals. Work collaboratively within interdisciplinary teams across consulting, data, and tech functions.</li> <li><strong>Data & AI solutions:</strong> Support the development of data strategies, AI use cases, and business intelligence solutions, contributing to governance frameworks and implementation roadmaps where relevant.</li> <li><strong>Knowledge sharing & collaboration:</strong> Contribute to a strong team culture by sharing knowledge, staying up to date with digital and AI trends, and supporting continuous team development.</li> <li><strong>Business development & thought leadership:</strong> Actively contribute to Artefact’s growth in Germany - supporting client proposals, shaping new service offerings, and creating intellectual capital such as frameworks, point-of-views, and benchmarks that strengthen our market position.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Candidate Profile</strong></h3> &am
