Management Consultant - AI Strategy & Transformation

Most organisations have already launched their AI pilots. The question is no longer whether to invest, but where, and how to make sure the value is actually realised. That is where we work. About Influence Influence is a management consultancy that combines strategy with the ability to execute it. We measure the quality of a strategy by what happens next. We work closely with our clients, with genuine care and the courage to say what needs to be said, so that every engagement leaves behind a sharper organisation, not a dependency on us. We are part of Newground, an alliance of specialist firms under one roof. That gives us depth in AI, data and technology when we need it, and collective intelligence as the foundation for everything we do. About The Role We are neither an AI training team nor a systems integrator. We help leadership teams make better decisions: where to invest, what to leave alone, how to move from experiment to scale, and how strategy, organisation and ways of working need to change for the value to become real. You work directly with our clients’ senior decision-makers. You prioritise opportunities, assess whether the organisation can actually realise them, shape transformation roadmaps, design operating models and governance, and lead clients from individual initiatives to impact across the whole business. You are the bridge between business leadership and technical specialists. You understand AI and technology well enough to challenge assumptions, vendor promises and unrealistic use cases, but your strength lies in business judgement and change. You are the voice in the room that challenges wishful thinking, and you do it in a way that builds trust. You also build business. Developing client relationships, shaping new engagements and driving our Tech-Driven Reinvention offering forward is a central part of the role. Who You Are

• 5–10 years of experience in management consulting or a strategic transformation role
• You understand AI, data and technology from a business perspective and are comfortable challenging technical assumptions without owning the delivery yourself
• You have driven real change, not just strategy on paper: new operating models, ways of working, governance or capability building
• You are used to complex organisations and have credibility with leadership teams
• You can tell what is strategically attractive from what an organisation can actually execute
• You balance clear direction from the top with experimentation and ownership close to the business
• You create alignment between business and technology, and you have commercial drive
• You are fluent in Swedish and English

Experience in AI or data governance, portfolio management, digital or software strategy, or large-scale transformation is a plus. Why Influence You get to help build our Tech-Driven Reinvention offering, not just deliver it. You work on some of the most critical questions leadership teams face right now, with large and mid-sized companies in retail, industry and services, and with Newground’s specialists by your side. And you do it in a culture people stay for. We live by what we say: great minds, genuine hearts, sustainable results. We review applications on a rolling basis. We look forward to hearing from you. Influence. For a wiser tomorrow.
