Location: Madrid, Spain

Are you passionate about helping clients navigate the most critical challenges of the digital age? Do you have experience shaping and scaling high-impact, technology-enabled transformation? Are you a visionary builder who thrives in entrepreneurial environments?

If the answer is yes, we have an exciting opportunity for you to help architect the next chapter of Uvance Wayfinders, Fujitsu’s global consulting brand, in Europe.

Uvance Wayfinders is committed to guiding customers through business and management transformation, turning concepts into reality and delivering tangible results through our consulting approach. Working side by side with clients, we deliver integrated solutions that span the full lifecycle of change, from initial strategy to sustained impact. We are focussed on fostering an inclusive environment where diverse talent thrives.

In Iberia (Spain and Portugal), we are building the practice from the ground up, with Data & AI at its core and an initial focus on Banking & Insurance, Energy & Utilities and the Public Sector. We connect strategy, technology and execution end-to-end, from the first diagnosis through to production.

Your role will involve:

As Manager / Senior Manager for Data Advisory & Transformation, you’ll work with our Associate Partners to build the trusted, governed, AI-ready data foundations that clients need to scale AI.

You’ll lead data strategy, data migration and modernisation, and data quality and governance programmes. The role works across our sectors, with an initial focus on Energy & Utilities.

Reporting to a Director or Associate Partner (as appropriate), you’ll combine deep hands-on expertise with client leadership: shaping solutions, supporting business development and leading delivery teams through to measurable results.

As an expert in your field, you’ll help shape how Uvance Wayfinders delivers, bringing fresh perspectives and creating reusable assets for the practice.

As a Manager / Senior Manager, you will be responsible for:

• Defining data strategies and multi-year data modernisation roadmaps with measurable outcomes.
• Leading large-scale data migration and platform modernisation to modern cloud data platforms.
• Putting in place data quality, data governance and metadata management practices.
• Using AI to accelerate data modernisation: mapping, profiling, quality checks and migration.
• Preparing data so it can be used by AI and agents: data products, semantic layers and access controls.
• Integrating operational (OT), business (IT) and external data, including sustainability and ESG data for reporting and decision-making.
• Leading multidisciplinary teams and managing day-to-day delivery with clients.
• Owning the end-to-end solution architecture and engineering rigour of AI systems, ensuring they are designed, built, deployed and governed to run reliably in production.
• Applying MLOps and LLMOps practices: evaluation, monitoring, drift detection and lifecycle management.
• Guiding teams on trade-offs between rules-based systems, machine learning, LLMs and hybrid approaches.
• Building value cases and facilitating workshops with client stakeholders to frame problems, align on priorities and shape engagement outcomes.
• Building and maintaining trusted relationships with client stakeholders, ensuring high satisfaction and repeat business.

Practice development 

• Contributing to the Data Advisory & Transformation offering, including methodologies, accelerators, reusable assets and thought leadership.
• Leading and coaching consultants, providing direction and quality assurance over team performance and deliverables.
• Working with Uvance Wayfinders colleagues across Europe and with the teams already present in client accounts.
• Helping build a culture of collaboration, continuous learning and hands-on excellence.

Your transferable skills and experience:

• Several years of experience in data strategy, data migration or data platform modernisation programmes.
• Hands-on knowledge of modern data platforms such as Microsoft Fabric, Databricks or Snowflake, on Azure, AWS and/or Google Cloud.
• Experience in data governance, data quality and metadata management.
• Understanding of how data foundations enable generative AI and AI agents.
• Experience leading teams and managing client relationships at senior level.
• Hands-on understanding of modern data and AI architectures: cloud data platforms and pipelines, machine learning, LLM-based solutions (prompting, RAG, agents), orchestration and monitoring.
• Experience taking AI systems into production and managing their operational risks: performance, drift, reliability and security.
• Demonstrated ability to build value cases (complex value cases at Senior Manager level) and to facilitate workshops with senior stakeholders.
• University degree in a technical or quantitative field preferred.
• Fluent in Spanish and professional English; Portuguese is a plus.

Nice to have:

• Experience integrating OT data (SCADA, IoT, sensors) with business data.
• Understanding of sustainability reporting requirements (such as CSRD) and the data they require.
• Experience with data sovereignty requirements.
• Relevant cloud or data platform certifications.
