Technology Advisor – Data & Application Excellence

Job description

Your responsibilities

Would you like to help companies transform data, applications, and AI responsibly and with a forward-looking approach? Do you combine strategic thinking with technical execution and enjoy actively driving innovation? Whether full-time or part-time, you can help shape the digital future, build trusted solutions, and guide exciting projects from analysis through successful implementation. Define scalable data-governance frameworks that build trust while meeting privacy and compliance requirements. Advise organizations on responsible use of generative AI, from opportunity analysis and use-case design through technical conception. Help optimize application management for performance, resilience, usability, and business fit. Take responsibility across the full project lifecycle—from analysis and design and alignment with business teams through implementation and successful launch. Lead workstreams or small teams, using agile or traditional methods depending on the client. Actively drive innovation by monitoring market trends, developing thought-leadership content, and shaping our consulting portfolio.

Occasional travel within Switzerland is welcome.
