Our inclusive and forward-thinking culture encourages creativity, collaboration, and professional growth.

Who You Are

• Strategic thinker: You break down complex business problems into clear, structured recommendations. You are comfortable operating at the C-level and translating ambiguity into actionable insights.
• Data-savvy consultant: You don't need to be a programmer, but you are genuinely curious about data and AI technologies and eager to deepen your expertise in this space.
• Project & Engagement Leader: You have a proven capacity to lead projects client side. You excel at managing expectations, defining project scope, and providing strategic guidance to technical teams to ensure delivery aligns with business objectives.
• Client-facing communicator: You build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, present ideas with clarity, and adapt your message to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborative doer: You thrive in multidisciplinary teams, move fast, and take ownership of your work from day one.
• Ambitious and driven: You are motivated by impact, eager to grow, and excited by the opportunity to help shape a fast-growing office.

What You Will Do

• Drive strategy development: Work with client leadership teams to address high-stakes questions — How can AI reshape our business model? How should we govern and organize for data? Which strategic programs deliver the most impact?
• Solve complex problems: Break down ambiguous challenges into clear, actionable recommendations using structured frameworks, enriched by Artefact's data and AI expertise.
• Deliver end-to-end engagements: Support projects from hypothesis framing and market/competitor analysis to client workshops, governance design, and implementation roadmaps with the technical team.
• Engage senior stakeholders: Collaborate closely with C-level executives and business unit leaders, building trusted relationships and ensuring strategic alignment throughout engagements.
• Build knowledge and offerings: Contribute to the growth of Artefact's Belgium office by shaping new service offerings, creating intellectual capital (frameworks, thought pieces, benchmarks), and supporting business development efforts.
• Contribute to thought leadership: Publish insights, participate in industry events, and help position Artefact Belgium as a leading voice on AI and data transformation.

What You Bring

• A Bachelor's and Master's degree (preferred) in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, or a related field; an excellent academic track record is highly valued.
• Approximately 2-4 years of experience in strategy consulting, data/digital consulting, or a related field (including internships or business analyst roles).
• A dual affinity for business and technology — you enjoy solving complex problems and can approach challenges in a structured, strategic way.
• Familiarity with data and digital technologies (e.g. analytics, AI, machine learning concepts, digital marketing, cloud platforms); you don't need to be a programmer, but you should be tech-savvy and eager to grow in the data/AI domain.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience creating impactful presentations and reports for senior audiences.
• Proficiency in English and French or Dutch is required; additional languages are a plus.
• You must be eligible to work in Belgium.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation aligned with your expertise and experience.
• A unique positioning at the crossroads of boardroom-level strategy and cutting-edge AI — not a traditional consultancy, not a pure tech player.
• Visibility and impact from day one as part of a growing Belgian team.
• Professional growth through regular training in both strategy consulting methodologies and AI/data capabilities, combined with international exposure across Artefact's global network.
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture of doers — innovative, fast-moving, and committed to delivering impact while supporting each other's growth.

At Artefact Belgium, we value motivation and potential above all else. Don't worry if you don't meet every criterion — if you're passionate about leveraging data and AI to drive real business impact, we'd love to hear from you.
