Let's talk!

What this job is all about

More and more of our clients come to us with the same questions about AI: where to start, what the return will be, and how to get their teams to actually use it. We're looking for a Lead AI Strategist who will build the AI strategy practice and take ownership of it with clients - from the first workshop with the board to rollout and measurable results.

This is a key role for someone who thrives where business strategy meets hands-on building. You'll be the person who connects the board's ambitions, the realities of day-to-day operations, and what technology can deliver today. You'll shape the business case and the product vision, and then stay with the engagement while our Data & AI engineers build the solution - until AI becomes part of how the client's teams work. We judge our work by adoption and by numbers the client can see in their own business.

What you'll do

• lead AI engagements end to end - from discovery and the business case, through product definition, to rollout and measuring results,
• run workshops with management boards and sessions with operational teams to understand processes, bottlenecks, and data,
• identify and prioritize AI use cases, building roadmaps with value estimates and clearly stated assumptions,
• turn strategy into requirements and success criteria that engineers can work with,
• prototype ideas yourself with Claude, Lovable, and other tools, so the client can see and test them early,
• design adoption - training, change management, and internal AI champions - and track how solutions are used after go live,
• advise senior stakeholders on trade-offs and risks, and recommend a change of course when the data calls for it,
• shape proposals, scope and price engagements, and join pitches,
• develop Future Mind's AI offering and the practice behind it - methods, playbooks, hiring, and mentoring strategists who will join the team.

Here's what we're looking for

• 6+ years in consulting, digital strategy, product management, or business transformation, including at least 2 years leading a portfolio of AI engagements,
• proven impact - you have led at least one AI initiative to production and can show the results in numbers,
• strong structuring skills - you bring order to ambiguous problems and turn them into a realistic plan,
• AI as part of your daily toolkit - your build agents and automations that support your everyday work in e.g. Claude / Claude Code, ChatGPT / Codex, Cursor, Lovable - and first-hand knowledge of what these tools can and cannot do,
• ability to build a business case and defend its assumptions in front of a CFO,
• comfort working with both engineers and executives, and explaining technology in business terms,
• a self-starter attitude and ownership of outcomes,
• excellent communication and facilitation skills in English and Polish (workshops, stakeholder alignment, storytelling).

Nice to have

• domain knowledge in retail, e-commerce, travel, or insurance,
• experience in selling advisory services and growing client accounts,
• understanding of data and how it shapes AI solutions, and the ability to talk with data engineers about sources, quality, and integrations,
• experience with enterprise platforms for building agents (e.g. Agent Bricks and Genie, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, Claude Managed Agents) and agent frameworks (e.g. Claude Agent SDK, LangChain, Mastra),
• articles, talks, or side projects about applied AI.

and here's what we offer

• non-corporate, transparent work environment where everyone has their say,
• frequently reviewed salary, relevant to market rates, your developing skills, and the results you achieve,
• possibility to significantly impact your projects - your input has real value,
• working hands-on with the latest AI tools and in direct contact with Anthropic as our partner,
• continuous professional development and application of new technologies - we all keep learning,
• active support of experienced mentors and team leaders along a well-structured professional development path,
• frequent team meetings with the purpose of sharing knowledge and discussing interesting case studies and problems that we come across on our projects,
• financial support for professional development, when you want to learn, take part in a conference, or go to a meetup,
• work-life balance and integration, with truly flexible working hours,
• the ability to work fully or partially remotely, or check in to one of our offices whenever you like,
• fully paid private health insurance, subsidized sports membership, and language courses,
• free breakfast, snacks, and drinks, along with a chill-out space, a foosball table, and some gaming gear at our Warsaw office for when you need to relax and charge your batteries,
• a laptop with the operating system which you choose (Mac/PC/Linux) and an additional, good quality monitor.
