What will you do?

🔎 Spot the opportunities — Work with our account teams to find business challenges in banking & insurance, energy & utilities, retail & consumer goods, and healthcare & life sciences where AI, data and digital product can move a KPI that matters.

🧪 Turn problems into testable hypotheses — Define what should change, by how much and how we will measure it, before anyone writes a line of code.

⚡ Own the PoC — Shape the minimum scope with our TechLab engineers: data, architecture, success criteria and a timeline measured in weeks, not months. Decide what goes in, what stays out and when to stop.

🎯 Prove the value — Build the story and the demo for the client's leadership: the problem, the evidence, the business case and the path to production. Present it and defend it in front of C-level.

🤝 Turn PoCs into business — Work with account managers and delivery teams to move from PoC to proposal to project. You co-own the pipeline the TechLab generates.

🧭 Shape our value proposition — Turn what we learn into repeatable industry offerings, reusable demos and assets.

🚀 Read the market — Keep a radar on how each industry and the technology evolve, and bring the TechLab the signals worth betting on.

The kind of person we’re looking for

You're the person a client's leadership trusts to understand their business — and the person our engineers trust to decide what is worth building.

Industry insight + technical judgment + business impact.

The role

We're building the AI TechLab, the team that runs PoCs and pre-sales exercises to define our value proposition: quick prototyping, hypothesis validation and proof of value.

As Industry Lead, you'll be the link between our clients' industries and the TechLab, reporting to the Head of TechLab. You arrive with a business problem and leave with evidence that it's worth solving.

This is not a pure sales role and not a hands-on engineering role. We're looking for someone who speaks both languages and can hold the room with a CEO in the morning and with our engineers in the afternoon.

Industries change fast, and so will the TechLab's focus. Adaptability is part of the job.

Madrid based, hybrid, with frequent client visits.

What do we value?

• 8+ years in consulting, pre-sales, solution consulting or digital transformation, with at least 3 working directly with client leadership.

• Proven industry experience in at least two of: banking & insurance, energy & utilities, retail & consumer goods, healthcare & life sciences.

• A track record of taking PoCs, pilots or MVPs into production projects or signed contracts — and the numbers to show it.

• Solid understanding of generative AI and agents, data and advanced analytics, and digital product: enough to design solutions with engineers, challenge estimates and spot what isn't feasible. You don't need to code.

• Ability to build a business case and defend it in front of a CFO.

• Excellent executive communication in Spanish and English.

• Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities.

Bonus points: client-side experience in one of our target industries, hands-on prototyping (low-code, notebooks, AI coding assistants), product discovery, Lean Startup or design thinking, knowledge of hyperscaler and AI vendor ecosystems, familiarity with the EU AI Act, GDPR and sector regulation (e.g. DORA), or a senior network in our target industries.
