The role

We are looking for a Senior Manager Data & AI with a solid combination of leadership, technical vision, and client focus, capable of taking full responsibility for data and artificial intelligence services and projects.

This role is designed for professionals with mature experience who have grown from a technical background and are now able to lead teams, manage clients, ensure delivery excellence, and provide architectural insight when the project requires it. We are not looking for a purely administrative manager: we are looking for someone who understands technology, makes informed decisions, and serves as a reference for both the client and the team.

You will work very closely with the management of the Data & AI division, with real autonomy, visibility, and direct responsibility for quality, client relationships, and the sustainable growth of services.

What you'll do

  • You will lead the management of Data & AI services and projects, ensuring the achievement of objectives, quality of deliverables, and client satisfaction.
  • You will be the main point of contact for clients in the Data & AI field: you will manage expectations, prioritize needs, and build long-term trust-based relationships.
  • You will lead and develop teams of architects, data engineers, and senior profiles, fostering technical leadership, autonomy, and professional growth.
  • You will ensure delivery excellence, working alongside project managers on planning, monitoring, risk management, and issue resolution.
  • You will provide technical and architectural insight on complex projects: you will validate key decisions, unblock critical situations, and ensure technical coherence.
  • You will actively participate in pre-sales, leading or supporting estimations, solution definition, RFP/RFI responses, and client sessions.
  • You will drive continuous improvement in the division, defining standards, best practices, service models, and scalable ways of working.
  • You will coordinate the management of multiple initiatives and clients, balancing priorities, team capacity, and commercial commitments.

How you'll work

Hybrid position in Madrid, with occasional travel.

Soft Skills

  • Mature and approachable leadership: you build trust, set direction, and develop talent.
  • Clear client and business orientation: you understand priorities, manage commitments, and seek real impact.
  • Ability to make decisions in complex contexts with incomplete information.
  • Clear and structured communication, both with technical and executive profiles.
  • Strategic vision with a focus on execution: you set the course but also dive into details when necessary.
  • Autonomy and sense of responsibility: you take ownership of the division's results.
