Job Description

Shape Strategies. Deliver Impact. Make Transformation Last.

At Fusion, we help life sciences companies turn Data & AI into real business value, from strategy through implementation to lasting success.

We are looking for a Managing Consultant who combines strategic thinking, structured problem solving, and a strong drive for implementation. In this role, you will lead Data & AI strategy engagements, advise senior client management, and make sure strategies turn into real results.

This is not a traditional strategy consulting role.

We don’t stop at the strategy deck. You will connect strategy, implementation, and long-term client partnership.

Your Mission

You will lead Data & AI strategy engagements end to end, from structuring the client’s challenge to developing strategies, roadmaps, and operating models.

From there, you will make sure strategies are implemented correctly. You will steer transformation programs, track value realization, and keep strategic intent intact throughout delivery.

At the same time, you will build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, develop your team, and identify opportunities for long-term partnerships.

What You Will Do

Engagement Leadership & Strategy Delivery

- Lead Data & AI strategy engagements from scoping to final recommendation

- Structure complex problems and steer hypothesis-driven analysis

- Develop Data & AI strategies, target pictures, use case portfolios, and business cases

- Own the quality of deliverables and storyline

- Lead workshops, steering committees, and management presentations

Concept & Roadmap Development

- Translate strategy into operating models, governance frameworks, and transformation roadmaps

- Define implementation programs with clear scope, milestones, and KPIs

- Align business and technical perspectives with architects and delivery teams

Implementation Steering

- Steer transformation programs as program lead or strategic PMO

- Track value realization and course-correct when needed

- Manage risks, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment across business and IT

Client Relationship & Partnership

- Act as the primary senior counterpart for client management

- Build trusted relationships and grow sponsorship within client organizations

- Identify follow-on opportunities and support account development

Team Leadership & Capability Building

- Lead, coach, and develop project teams

- Plan staffing, workload, and engagement budgets

- Contribute to methods, frameworks, and reusable assets

- Support proposals and pitches

Qualifications

What We Are Looking For

Experience

- 6+ years of experience in strategy or management consulting, digital transformation, or a related field

- Proven track record leading Data & AI, digital, or data strategy engagements

- Experience advising senior management stakeholders

- Experience leading teams and managing engagement budgets

- Experience with Data & AI technologies, platforms, and operating models

- Experience in Life Sciences, Pharma, Biotech, or MedTech

Skills

- Structured, hypothesis-driven problem solving

- Strategic and conceptual thinking

- Storylining and executive communication

- Stakeholder management

- Team leadership

- Implementation mindset

- Fluent English and German

Nice to Have

- Background at a top-tier or specialized strategy consultancy

- Experience steering large transformation programs

What Makes This Role Different

✔ Develop strategies and see them through to implementation.

✔ Advise senior management on Data & AI transformation.

✔ Combine strategy consulting and delivery leadership in one role.

✔ Build long-term client partnerships, not one-off projects.

✔ Lead and develop your own team.

✔ See the real impact of your work.
