About Us

We are pioneering the field of AI strategy and applied AI - partnering with the world’s most ambitious businesses to define how AI could create value for them, and then building the AI products that make that vision a reality. From developing the world’s first AI-native fashion and retail models  for one of the world's largest retailers to pioneering an autonomous innovation engine for a global CPG company, our work is first-in-kind and only accelerating.

About the role

As the EMEA Managing Director focused on our applied AI and technology offering, you’ll step into a dynamic, tech-forward environment where the foundation is already in place for you to thrive. With a team of engineers, product experts, a proven track record of successful build projects, and an active build pipeline, you’ll have the resources and momentum to make an immediate impact. This is the perfect moment to join—early enough to drive and shape the future of our applied AI and technology practice in EMEA, but not so early that you’ll be starting from scratch.

In this role, you’ll be a visionary leader, combining strategic acumen and technical insight to unlock transformational AI opportunities for clients. You’ll work directly with organizations to design and implement next generation AI tools, agentic workflows, and AI-led decision systems that solve complex problems and deliver measurable results. Your primary focus will be business development—building relationships with C-suite stakeholders, identifying opportunities where AI solutions can bring value, and driving our AI product offering forward as a market leader in the region.

Your ability to navigate the intersection of innovation, technology, and business outcomes for large enterprises across multiple sectors - especially CPG, F&B, industrials, healthcare, and financial services - will not only strengthen our presence in EMEA, but also cement BOI as a trusted partner for cutting-edge AI solutions globally.

This is a rare opportunity to make your mark in a high-growth environment where your leadership and entrepreneurial mindset will shape the future of AI Build at BOI.

Ideal Candidate Profile

We’re looking for someone who embodies these qualities:

• A Business Development Powerhouse
  You have a proven track record of independently generating and managing a €2-3M+ client portfolio, driving significant commercial growth. You excel at identifying opportunities, building trusted relationships, and closing high-value deals. You’re not just supporting sales—you’re leading it, creating opportunities where others see challenges, and delivering real, measurable results.

• Strategic and Consultative
  You stand out because you can do what few can: identify complex client challenges and craft solutions that deliver tangible value. You combine deep commercial awareness with a solutions-oriented mindset, bridging the gap between uncovering problems and implementing transformative AI solutions. This is not an implementation role - you’ll identify problems and design solutions from scratch, so a balance between strategic and technical expertise is critical.

• A Leader in AI Build & Engineering
  You have experience leading AI application builds and engineering programs, working closely with technical teams to design, build, and scale AI-powered systems. You don’t need to have an engineering background, but you must be comfortable leading product teams, engaging with engineers, and guiding product strategy decisions to ensure solutions are practical, scalable, and business-aligned. 

• A Self-Starter with Vision
  You’re joining BOI at a pivotal moment: the foundation for our AI technology practice in EMEA is established, and the team is in place. You’re ready to take this to the next level, scaling the offering across EMEA and shaping the future of custom AI solutions. You’re entrepreneurial, adaptive, and ready to make your mark.
