About the role and the Xomnia culture

At Xomnia, we make sure data and AI deliver real value. As a Data & AI Strategy Consultant, you speak both business and tech, and use that combination to shape strategies and unlock impact. You navigate seamlessly between stakeholders, data scientists, and engineers, turning complex challenges into solutions that work – and keep working. You help clients get the most out of their data investments, and you make sure data solutions deliver measurable results with a human-centered approach.

Our culture thrives on curiosity, shared ownership, sharing knowledge, and the drive to challenge the status quo. We work in dynamic environments and empower clients to build data solutions that stick.


Are you ready to take on this challenge?

In this role, you’ll shape how organizations turn Data and AI ambition into real, executable outcomes. You will work at the front of complex engagements, helping clients clarify what they should do, why it matters, and how to do it without unnecessary risk.

You combine strategic thinking with practical judgment. You enjoy ambiguity, ask sharp questions, and are comfortable challenging assumptions early to ensure teams build the right things in the right way.


Your role

  • Translate business strategy and ambition into feasible Data and AI initiatives, turning vague or generic “we want AI” ambitions into concrete, actionable plans.

  • Lead early-stage discovery, framing, and Phase Zero engagements.

  • Shape proposals, scopes, and Statements of Work together with Sales and technical teams.

  • Challenge assumptions and identify risks around value, feasibility, data readiness, and delivery.

  • Define success criteria, sequencing, and go or no-go decisions for initiatives.

  • Act as strategic counterpart to senior client stakeholders.

  • Maintain coherence from pre-sales through handover and remain involved during delivery to ensure scope, assumptions, and priorities evolve deliberately as learning occurs.

  • Protect delivery teams by enforcing clear scope, expectations, and decision boundaries, especially when change pressure emerges.

  • Collaborate closely with Data Scientists, Engineers, Product, and Sales teams to align strategy, feasibility, and execution reality.

  • Contribute to the development of Xomnia’s strategy playbooks, offerings, and ways of working.


What you bring to the table

  • 5+ years of experience in consulting, product leadership, data strategy, or similar roles, with experience launching new initiatives, products, or experiments in ambiguous environments.
  • Proven experience owning ambiguous problems and shaping them into concrete plans.
  • Comfort operating at the intersection of business, data, and technology.
  • Enough technical fluency in data and AI to challenge solutions and trade-offs.
  • Experience with stakeholder management at senior and executive level.
  • A strong sense of ownership and accountability for outcomes, not just outputs.
  • A consulting mindset: you enjoy listening, challenging, and guiding clients toward better decisions.
  • Clear, structured communication and the ability to say no when needed.
  • Fluent in English. Dutch is a strong plus.
  • A drive to continuously learn, improve, and share knowledge with others.
  •  


What's in it for you?

We offer more than a job - we offer a platform for growth:

  • A monthly salary between €3.800 - €6.200 per month (based on 40 hours and excluding vacation allowance)

  • €5.000 annual development budget

  • 25 vacation days to fully recharge

  • Secondary benefits such as pension, flexible working options (in terms working location) and the possibility to take unpaid leave

  • Memorable company trips (Berlin this year!)

  • The opportunity to grow along with our success through Stock Appreciation Rights

At Xomnia, we believe that collaboration, knowledge sharing, and personal development are the keys to our success. That’s why we offer various training sessions through our ‘Learning Labs’ and organize a yearly Health Month. We also regularly enjoy boat trips through the Amsterdam canals with our own boat, and there is always a healthy (free) lunch and a bar at the office.


Hear it from our consultants!

There's only one way to verify if all of the above is also experienced by our people themselves: ask them! We sat together with Inbal and David, Data & AI Strategy Consultants, to talk about their exciting projects at Albert Heijn and Rabobank, and what it is like to work at Xomnia.
