We file this job under AI Engineer, by the work the posting describes.
AI engineers build products on top of AI models that already exist, most often large language models: they connect a model to a company's data and tools and ship the assistants, agents and search features people use.
Postings ask for strong Python or TypeScript, experience with model APIs, retrieval and agent frameworks, and ways to test whether the model's answers are good enough.
An ML engineer trains and serves models; an AI engineer usually starts from a model someone else trained and builds the product around it, though titles often mix the two.

The Role
As a Senior Data & AI Consultant, you will help clients turn their data and AI ambitions into measurable business value. You will shape and deliver consulting engagements across data and AI strategy, transformation, bespoke AI solutions, and platform development. Working closely with senior business stakeholders and interdisciplinary delivery teams, you will identify high-impact use cases, structure roadmaps, guide delivery, and ensure successful adoption. You will also support business development, contribute to compelling proposals, create reusable consulting assets, and represent Zühlke’s Data & AI discipline as a trusted advisor and thought leader.
How you’ll make an impact
You will help clients realise their Data & AI ambitions across a wide range of strategic and delivery-focused engagements, including:
Data & AI strategy and transformation: identifying value-adding use cases, assessing organisational maturity, and defining and executing transformation roadmaps.
Bespoke AI solution development: leading use case discovery, shaping product backlogs, guiding delivery teams, and ensuring solutions meet user and business expectations.
Data & AI platform development: translating user and business needs into architecture requirements, defining service and operating models, and overseeing the delivery of data products and platform capabilities.
You will structure complex consulting engagements, steer project delivery, ensure the quality of our deliverables, and manage customer expectations and satisfaction.
You will facilitate collaboration across interdisciplinary stakeholder groups, bridging the gap between delivery teams — including data scientists, data engineers, architects, and software developers — and business stakeholders at all levels, from CxOs to junior team members.
You will contribute to Zühlke’s growth by supporting consultants and business developers throughout the sales pipeline, from early positioning conversations through to the development of concrete consulting proposals.
You will act as an ambassador and thought leader for our discipline, both internally and externally, by publishing impactful content and speaking at professional events.
You will develop reusable assets that improve the team’s effectiveness, including packaged consulting offerings, templates, and demonstrators.
