AI Transformation Lead (m/f/d)

Your daily workout

Ready to lead the AI revolution inside a tech unicorn on a rocketship journey? On our path towards one of the biggest tech and fitness companies in Europe we’re making AI the next engine of our internal productivity, and we're looking for you to take the driver's seat in Munich. 
As our AI Transformation Lead (m/f/d), you will build and lead our internal-facing AI team from the ground up. This small, high-impact team will report directly to the CTO, orchestrating AI adoption across every corner of EGYM.

• Proven Track Record: You have successfully applied AI and LLMs to drive internal productivity improvements in companies with 250+ employees
• Strategic Transformation Experience: You have a background in top-tier consulting or a senior corporate role (e.g., Head of Digital Transformation, Innovation Manager, Platform Product Director) where you've successfully driven complex, cross-functional technology adoption programs
• Product & Tech Acumen: You have a background in building and scaling internal platforms or products (e.g., developer tools, AI copilots, data products) and have strong credibility with engineering teams
• Educational Foundation: You have a STEM degree (e.g., Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML) or a related technical foundation, ideally complemented by an MBA or executive business training

Your training goal for your first 6 months

• Establish the Foundation: You will define the mission, strategy, and initial roadmap for the internal AI team in close collaboration with the CTO and other key leaders
• Score Early Wins: You will identify and launch 1-2 high-impact pilot projects to demonstrate the value of AI and build momentum for broader adoption across the company
• Build Key Relationships: You will establish yourself as the go-to trusted advisor for all things related to AI, building strong partnerships with leaders across the organization
