Does That Sound Like You?

You are passionate about helping organizations succeed with Data & AI. You thrive at the intersection of Leadership, Business, and Technology. You don’t stop at building vision and strategy — you stay to ensure that those ideas come alive. You are energized by guiding not only the what but also the how: orchestrating execution, ensuring governance, and connecting multiple workstreams into real outcomes.

The Xebia Data Division

Xebia Data is one of the divisions of Xebia Netherlands, renowned for its expertise building strong Data & AI practices to deliver value to our clients and their customers.

What You’ll Be Doing as an AI Strategy Consultant

Our team defines data strategies, uncovers and refines use cases, reorganizes and leads high-performing data teams, and trains C-level leaders at large corporations. You will work on projects of varying length—from three weeks to one year—each unique to the client. Projects involve the client in mixed teams of Xebians and client staff.
