The role
Visium combines strategy, frontier AI, and deep regulated-industry expertise to build and deploy AI-native systems that reinvent how businesses operate - unlocking the value of AI at scale.
We're not a strategy firm that ships slide decks and walks away. Not a tech consultancy that builds what won't get adopted. Not a product company chasing problems it doesn't understand. We're all three at once: strategy, deep technical and integration expertise, and product, working as one. That combination is our flywheel. Consulting keeps us close to the hardest real-world problems. Products let us solve them at scale. Every engagement sharpens our products; every deployment makes the next engagement faster, deeper, and more certain.
We're obsessed with outcomes. While 95% of enterprise AI pilots never reach production, Visium is built to be the 5% delivering productised AI that compounds in value, not point solutions that deliver marginal gains. We are AI-native, not AI-adjacent. We don't bolt AI onto broken workflows; we redesign them with AI at the core.
What you'll do
As a Senior Data Strategist, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering high-impact data transformation initiatives for Visium's clients. You will lead strategic workstreams, act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders, and ensure the delivery of robust, actionable strategies grounded in strong data management principles.
You will combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, leveraging your experience in consulting and data management to drive measurable business outcomes.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Define data strategies, platform visions, and transformation roadmaps aligned with business objectives.
- Design data governance frameworks, ownership models, and data management practices
- Translate business priorities into prioritized portfolios of data & AI use cases with clear business cases
- Lead the design of data foundations and modern data platforms (e.g. data products)
- Structure analyses and deliver high-quality, insight-driven strategic recommendations.
- Lead end-to-end transformation workstreams from discovery to implementation
- Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders (CDO, CTO, business leaders)
- Identify opportunities to expand engagements and create additional client value.
- Contribute to proposals and positioning of Visium's Data & AI offerings.
- Mentor consultants and contribute to practice development and thought leadership.
