Your role in the team

  • Data and AI are the levers that will help our agency work faster and smarter. That’s exactly why we’re looking for you.
  • You lead our Data Team of data scientists and analysts, develop data-driven products for customers and teams, and drive our internal AI initiative forward: LLMs in analytics processes, automated reporting, less manual work, more insights.
  • You’re not just involved at a strategic level—you’re also hands-on in day-to-day operations: you work directly on analyses, automations, and customer projects, and pitch in wherever you’re needed.
  • You report directly to the COO and CEO and shape the business with your own budget and genuine decision-making authority.
  • You drive our internal AI initiative forward, both strategically and operationally.
  • You integrate LLMs into analytics processes: text analysis, unstructured data, and faster insight generation.
  • You automate reporting and standard analyses, shortening the path from raw data to insight.
  • You build automations and API integrations that run in client projects and in the day-to-day work of the agency.
  • You evaluate new tools and optimize our tool landscape, including from a cost perspective.
  • You lead the Data Team both professionally and disciplinarily, including making personnel decisions.
  • You actively support the development of your team members and keep them highly motivated through feedback and recognition.
  • You create clear communication channels and a positive work culture.
  • You develop data-driven products for customers and internal use, iteratively based on feedback and performance data.
  • You identify customer and team needs as well as market opportunities through data analysis.
  • You roll out products together with the other leads at the agency.
  • You are the primary point of contact for our customers on data-driven topics.
  • You create and present analyses, reports, and dashboards, and advise on data strategies as an equal partner.
  • You support new business and increase sales of data-driven products.
  • You are responsible for the Data Intelligence department’s budget.
  • You develop our internal data strategy and present it as a white paper.
  • You optimize resource utilization and the ratio of booked to billable hours.

Our expectations of you

Qualifications

  • Confident use of automation, APIs, and common analytics and dashboard tools.

  • Very good German and good English skills.
  • Willingness to work on-site at our office in Berlin.

Experience

  • Several years of experience in data science, analytics, or business intelligence, ideally in an agency or consulting environment.

  • Leadership experience or a clear ambition to lead and develop a team.

What we offer

  • Key role in the company, reporting directly to the COO and CEO.
  • Further development of our AI strategy – the opportunity to shape the AI strategy of an entire agency, not just a subproject.
  • Budget responsibility – Own budget and decision-making authority for tools, products, and personnel.
  • Team responsibility – a strong team and a culture of open communication.
  • Networking & Community - Whether at the weekly team lunch, regular events, or through internal networks, you’ll find a sense of belonging and build genuine connections with us.
  • Knowledge & Development - Our free in-house academy offers relevant training opportunities to help you grow professionally and personally and keep you up to date with the latest AI technologies.
  • Personal development - From day one, you’ll be given responsibility and tasks that challenge and help you grow.
