Executive Manager, AI Transformation (People & Culture)
Sydney
Who is Quantium?
Quantium is a world leader in data science and artificial intelligence. Established in Australia in 2002, Quantium is a global team of more than 1,200 people across 14 locations with a unique blend of capabilities across product and consulting services to help businesses unlock value from data and analytics. Quantium partners with the world's largest corporations to forge a better, more intelligent world.
As Executive Manager, AI Strategy & Transformation, you'll play a key role in how Quantium actually adopts AI - not as a side project, but as a live transformation with real outcomes, real challenges and real commercial value on the other side. This is primarily an internal transformation role: roughly 80% is making AI land inside Quantium, and 20% is turning what you've built into a credible story for clients - showing them that Quantium doesn't just advise on AI transformation, we live it. The distinction matters. You're not here to theorise - you're here to get dirt under your fingernails.
This is a rare role for someone who pairs strategic vision with execution discipline, who leads through influence rather than authority, and who gets energised by building something new with real commercial and organisational impact.
How You'll Create Impact
-
Set and own the strategic direction for AI transformation across Quantium, building and iterating a rapidly evolving roadmap that balances quick wins with systemic capability building
-
Develop and execute a go-to-market strategy that turns our internal AI transformation into a compelling proof-point for clients - packaging accelerators, toolkits and methodologies into client-ready offerings alongside Consulting and Product
-
Build and champion the investment case for AI transformation, demonstrating measurable ROI and strategic value to executive leadership
-
Oversee the design, delivery and scaling of AI products and accelerators that solve real organisational challenges - architected for external commercialisation from the outset
-
Own the measurement framework and change strategy for AI adoption, driving lasting behavioural change across the organisation through champion networks and executive engagement
-
Build trusted relationships with Executive and Group Executive leaders, and lead and develop a small but high-impact team with curiosity, collaboration and a relentless drive for impact
The Superpowers You'll Be Bringing To The Team
-
Influencer, not authority figure: You have one direct report. Everything else gets done through relationships and trust - you navigate complexity with diplomacy and bring people on the journey even when change is uncomfortable.
-
Pragmatic transformation leader: You've been in a consulting organisation, and you've worked inside a complex one. You know that frameworks don't move organisations - implementation discipline and stakeholder trust do.
-
Commercially minded: You see the connection between internal transformation and external value. You've built business cases that win executive approval and you can articulate value in the language of business - revenue, ROI, competitive differentiation and client impact.
-
Systems thinker with genuine AI fluency: You're not building the AI tools yourself, but you understand what makes them work - data quality as the foundation, UX considerations, how systems connect, how to evaluate what's actually landed.
Required Experience And Capabilities
-
10+ years across consulting, organisational transformation, technology advisory, product management, or related fields with progressive leadership responsibility
-
Demonstrated experience setting strategic direction for a function or practice area and translating strategy into execution
-
Track record of leading transformation initiatives that delivered measurable commercial and organisational outcomes
-
Experience operating in ambiguous, greenfield environments - building functions, capabilities, or offerings from scratch
-
Strong commercial acumen with experience developing business cases, financial models, and articulating ROI at executive level
-
Proven ability to influence Executive and C-suite stakeholders without direct authority, with exceptional communication and facilitation skills across boards, clients and industry forums
