We are looking for an AI Transformation Lead for our client WirelessCar.



WirelessCar's Journey

WirelessCar develops connected vehicle services and digital solutions for the global automotive industry. The company is now accelerating its AI journey, aiming to make AI a natural part of how it operates, develops and creates customer value.



WirelessCar is looking for an AI Transformation Lead to shape and drive this journey through a federated approach, combining shared AI direction and governance with strong local ownership.



About the Role

The AI Transformation Lead will drive the company's AI strategy, governance and shared capabilities while enabling business units to adopt and scale AI.



The role combines strategic leadership, technical understanding and change management, requiring the ability to engage senior leaders, technical teams and the wider organisation.



The ideal candidate can create direction, inspire people, connect capabilities and turn AI opportunities into tangible business value.



What the AI Transformation Lead Will Do

Shape the AI strategy and common foundations

  • Help develop and drive a clear, forward-looking AI strategy aligned with WirelessCar's business ambitions.
  • Translate developments in AI into relevant opportunities for the business, products, technology and ways of working.
  • Work with relevant functions to establish company-wide governance, principles, frameworks and standards for responsible AI adoption.
  • Help shape common AI tooling and technology foundations that enable reuse, scalability and cost efficiency.
  • Ensure strong, practical guardrails around areas such as security, data protection, quality, compliance and responsible use of AI.
  • Balance the need for common direction and control with the speed, flexibility and innovation required locally.



Enable ownership and execution

  • Support business units and core functions in translating the company-wide AI direction into their own priorities and initiatives.
  • Provide guidance, expertise, frameworks and tools that make it easier for teams to experiment, implement and scale AI solutions.
  • Encourage local ownership of implementation, adoption and results rather than building unnecessary central dependencies.
  • Identify opportunities for collaboration and reuse across business areas, avoiding unnecessary duplication.
  • Take an active, hands-on role in resolving obstacles and accelerating important initiatives when needed.



Lead change through people

  • Inspire and support colleagues in understanding, exploring and adopting AI.
  • Help leaders and teams develop new competences and adapt their ways of working.
  • Communicate clearly, build trust and engage stakeholders across organisational boundaries.
  • Balance providing direction with creating ownership, encouraging teams to find their own solutions.
  • Use sound people judgement and sensitivity to the different needs and perspectives involved in change.
  • Create momentum through visible leadership, practical examples and demonstrated results.



Connect and strengthen the organisation

  • Build relationships and credibility across business units, core functions and organisational levels.
  • Bring together expertise from engineering, IT, business, people, security and other relevant functions.
  • Encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing and the scaling of successful approaches.
  • Identify where common solutions create value and where local flexibility is more effective.
  • Help establish practical ways to measure progress, capture learnings and continuously improve the company's approach.



What WirelessCar Is Looking For

WirelessCar believes the right person combines strategic vision, technical understanding, strong communication skills and a genuine ability to make change happen.



The ideal candidate brings:

  • Visionary and strategic thinking: The candidate can see the bigger picture, identify future opportunities and translate them into a clear direction.
  • AI understanding: The candidate has a solid understanding of AI technologies, their possibilities and limitations, and how they can be applied in practice.
  • DevOps understanding: The candidate understands modern software development and delivery practices well enough to work credibly with technical teams.
  • Strong communication skills: The candidate can explain complex topics clearly, inspire others and build understanding across different audiences.
  • Change leadership: The candidate has experience driving transformation, supporting people through change and overcoming resistance.
  • A hands-on mindset: The candidate is a doer who takes initiative, experiments, solves problems and follows through.
  • Cross-functional leadership: The candidate can create alignment, influence decisions and make progress across organisational boundaries without relying on formal authority.



WirelessCar also values:

  • Strong business understanding and sound judgement.
  • Experience working in federated or decentralised organisations, balancing central governance with local accountability.
  • Understanding of enterprise IT, shared technology platforms and scalable technical frameworks.
  • Experience establishing practical governance and enabling responsible technology adoption.
  • Project management and stakeholder management capabilities.
  • Experience in automotive technology or connected services.
  • The ability to balance decisive leadership with coaching, collaboration and empowerment.



Above all, the ideal candidate is curious, pragmatic and comfortable navigating uncertainty.



The candidate has the confidence to challenge established thinking, the humility to learn from others and the ability to build trust with both technical specialists and business leaders.



The candidate understands that successful transformation is not about controlling everything centrally, but about enabling people throughout the organisation to succeed within a shared direction.



Success in This Role

Success means that AI becomes a practical and valuable part of how WirelessCar operates, develops its capabilities and creates value.



The candidate will make a difference when:

  • WirelessCar has a clear AI direction, supported by practical governance, shared frameworks and appropriate guardrails.
  • Business units and core functions have the capabilities, confidence and freedom to execute AI initiatives within that framework.
  • Common tools, knowledge and solutions are effectively shared and reused across the company.
  • Prioritised initiatives deliver measurable improvements and business outcomes.
  • AI competence and adoption develop throughout the organisation.
  • The company achieves the right balance between central consistency and local innovation, speed and accountability.



The candidate's success will not be measured by how many initiatives they personally deliver, but by how effectively they enable the whole organisation to turn AI opportunities into sustainable business value.



What WirelessCar Offers

At WirelessCar, the candidate will work with skilled colleagues in an international technology environment where trust, collaboration and personal responsibility are important parts of the company's culture.



The candidate will have the opportunity to influence how WirelessCar approaches AI at company level, while working closely with teams across the organisation to turn the direction into reality.



WirelessCar values people who are curious, willing to challenge and committed to making a difference.



This is an opportunity to combine technology, strategic thinking and people leadership in a role with meaningful influence on the company's future.



To Join the Journey

WirelessCar is looking for someone who combines vision with action, understands technology and enjoys helping people and organisations develop.



The ideal candidate believes in creating a shared direction while empowering people and teams to make things happen.



WirelessCar would like to hear from candidates who are motivated to take on this challenge.



Join WirelessCar and help shape how AI becomes part of everything the company does.



We offer continuously. That means that we sometimes remove the assignments before deadline. If you are interested we recommend that you apply immediately.
