About the role

Artefact is a French consulting and engineering firm specializing in data and AI, and a leader in Europe. Headquartered in Paris, we are now present in 23 countries across all continents, with a team of 1,700 employees. Our mission is to help businesses unlock the full potential of AI and data by developing tailor-made solutions that address their specific industry challenges. Our clients span all key economic sectors - industry, retail, luxury, consumer goods, healthcare, and finance - and include major international corporations. As Head of Business Transformation, you own Artefact's transformation across all functions. You lead a portfolio of Tech & AI powered transformation initiatives spanning Finance, HR, Marketing, IT, and Data - with one north star: provide a better experience to all Artefactors by making our operations faster, more efficient, and ready for our next stage growth.

Responsibilities

Discover Needs

You act as the internal consultant who listens before designing. Your first mandate is to build a deep, ongoing understanding of how each support function operates - and where it hurts.

Conduct structured discovery sessions with function leads (CFO, CHRO, CMO, CTO) to map pain points and unmet needs

Observe end-to-end workflows to identify friction that teams have normalised but shouldn't accept

Translate qualitative frustrations into quantified improvement opportunities with a clear business case

Maintain a living pipeline of prioritised opportunities, updated as the organisation evolves

Lead a Portfolio of Transformation Initiatives

You personally own the transformation roadmap and are accountable for delivery - from process redesign and tooling deployment to change adoption - across all support domains:

Domain

Examples of processes in scope

Finance

Mission closure, Order to cash, Cost controlling,..

Evaluation, Learning, Staffing, Onboarding & offboarding,..

Marketing

Lead generation, Campaign operations

Finops, access management, - Vendor & licence governance - Security compliance

Data & Ai service

AI & Data services & tools to all Artefactors

Design target-state processes and deploy solutions (automation, AI, tooling) that deliver measurable improvements

Drive adoption through structured communication and training - results matter, not just go-lives

Collaborate with Artefact's Data & AI teams to co-design and industrialise internal AI use cases

Drive Change & Build Stakeholder Alignment

The best process redesign fails without people behind it. You own the human side of transformation.

Act as a trusted advisor to function leads, balancing constructive challenge with genuine support

Embark & engage key leaders ( Country CEOs, Heads of chapter,) along a shared vision

Foster a culture of continuous improvement that outlasts any individual initiative

Benchmark internal practices against industry standards and import outside-in thinking

Transformation Portfolio Monitoring & COMEX Reporting

You give the Executive Committee full visibility on where the transformation stands, what it delivers, and what decisions are needed.

Own the transformation dashboard: initiative status, milestones, risks, and value delivered

Track ROI across the portfolio - productivity gains, cost savings, risk reduction

Escalate blockers proactively and formulate clear options for leadership decision-making
