Head of Transformation

À propos du poste

WHO WE ARE

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.

THE ROLE

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.

KEY 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:

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
