ABOUT US
We're an independent European digital product studio with a strong track record of delivering market-defining strategies, products
and platforms for enterprises and governments. With about 200 talented people across three countries, premium AI capabilities and
a diverse portfolio of international clients, we define, design and ship at scale and with impact. From global cloud-based
platforms, AI-systems and large-audience apps to medical devices, banking software and full AI Transformation roadmaps. We live
and breathe digital.
BECOME A PART OF OUR TEAM
At In The Pocket, you join a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, strategists and AI specialists who care about the
work as much as the people they work with. We work in small, autonomous teams that stay close to our clients and their users, and
we give everyone the space to take ownership, speak up and grow. You'll learn from colleagues across our studios, impact thousands
or even millions of people with your work and help shape our business in the age of intelligence.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
AI is rewriting how organisations operate and compete. Many of our clients know they need to act, but struggle with where to
start, what to prioritise and how to scale AI beyond the proof of concept. That's where you come in.
As a Senior AI Transformation Consultant, you help organisations see their future through the lens of AI and give them the
framework to work towards it. You work across strategy, organisational design and applied AI, moving fluidly between a boardroom
workshop and a hands-on pilot with a product team. You're comfortable telling a CEO which bets to make and equally comfortable
rolling up your sleeves to define the use case, sketch the architecture and plan the rollout. You'll operate from our studios in
Ghent, Antwerp or Leuven, but this is a client-facing role. You should be open to prolonged embedded assignments at enterprise and
government clients, leading their AI transformation on-site as a trusted advisor who's part of their daily rhythm, not a
consultant who flies in for a slide deck.
You'll work within our AI Transformation team, which covers three areas: Organisational AI Readiness, AI Discovery and Applied AI.
These areas require different focus and expertise, we’re curious to hear where you thrive and excel (and where you don’t). In The
Pocket has developed a proprietary and successful approach to AI Transformation, which you’ll champion across industries, such as
healthcare, government, utilities, retail and finance.
HELP ORGANISATIONS GET AI-READY:
* Assess a client's organisational maturity for AI adoption: governance, tooling, data foundations, capabilities.
* Design and set up an AI Centre of Excellence: the team, the mandate, the decision rights, the guardrails and the metrics. The
goal is to unify scattered AI efforts under shared standards while giving teams enough room to move fast.
* Define the AI orchestration layer: how models, agents and automation are governed, made available and kept under financial and
compliance control across the organisation.
* Map an organisation's capabilities to create a framework for distributed ownership of AI initiatives, making it clear where AI
shifts value creation and who's accountable
DISCOVER WHERE AI CREATES VALUE:
* Facilitate workshop series to uncover and prioritise AI use cases for a client, producing a growth map ranked by value and
feasibility, with clear owners, timelines and success metrics.
* Develop AI differentiation strategies: where can this client build a competitive edge through? What will their competitors do,
and what can they do that's different?
* Create solution concept sketches, stakeholder maps and data requirement overviews for the top-priority use cases.
* Build roadmaps that balance quick wins with longer-term foundational investments, so clients can show results while laying the
groundwork for scale.
GET AI INTO PRODUCTION:
* Scope, plan and guide AI pilot projects from defining success criteria to shipping a working solution that proves value and
builds internal buy-in.
* Define KPI’s and evaluation frameworks focused on impact and outcome.
* Lead the path from pilot to production. Define KPIs and evaluation frameworks that prove impact and guide clients through the
inevitable gap between a successful pilot and a production-ready solution.
ENSURE RESPONSIBLE ADOPTION:
* Embed privacy, security and compliance into AI initiatives from day one. We're ISO 27001-certified and work in regulated
industries. You should be comfortable in that context.
* Keep governance aligned with evolving regulation, including the EU AI Act.
* Promote human-first AI principles: AI as augmentation, not replacement. Help teams adopt AI in a way that feels safe and makes
sense for their day-to-day work.
GROW THE PRACTICE:
* Contribute to the development of our AI Transformation frameworks, playbooks and toolkits.
* Support our Sales team and help shape proposals and pitches for new AI transformation engagements.
* Coach and mentor more junior consultants across engagements.
* Share knowledge across In The Pocket and with the broader market through talks, articles or workshops.
WHO YOU ARE
* You have 7+ years of professional experience, with at least 3 years in consulting, digital strategy or transformation roles
serving enterprise or public-sector clients.
* You thrive working on-site with clients, building long-lasting relationships rather than doing research from a distance.
* You have a solid grasp of AI and machine learning concepts — not necessarily as an engineer, but enough to have credible
conversations about what's possible, what's practical and what's hype. You can partner with engineering and data teams without
needing to be walked through the basics.
* You've led or been deeply involved in organisational change programmes. You know that shipping the technology is half the job;
the other half is adoption and change.
* You can run a workshop with senior stakeholders, synthesise findings into a clear strategy and present it back with confidence.
You don't hide uncertainty from executives; you explain trade-offs honestly.
* You think in terms of business outcomes, not features.
* You have experience with capability mapping, operating model design, data governance or similar organisational disciplines. You
don't need all of these, but you should have depth in at least one.
* You're familiar with the current AI landscape: foundation models, agentic workflows, AI orchestration platforms, the
buy-vs-build trade-offs companies face.
* You’ve learned to think and work “AI-first” and are a fluent orchestrator of various relevant AI-tools.
* You write well and you’re a great communicator. Discrete when required and on stage when the opportunity presents itself.
* You're comfortable with prolonged on-site engagements at client organisations. This role isn't remote-first — you'll spend real
time in our studios and at client locations across Belgium and occasionally beyond.
* You're fluent in Dutch and English, with strong communication and presentation skills in both. French speaking ability is a
strong plus.
* You are looking for a permanent full-time position.
WHAT WE OFFER
Joining In The Pocket means becoming part of a team that shapes the future of our clients’ businesses across Europe. Here’s what
you can look forward to:
* You’ll start with a permanent contract in a role that comes with responsibility and the opportunity to make a real impact from
day one.
* We offer a competitive salary that reflects your experience and the value you bring.
* Our benefits package has you covered with hospitalisation and group insurance, meal vouchers, a phone subscription, and more.
* You’ll have a mobility budget that lets you decide how to get around, your way.
* Life at In The Pocket isn’t just about work, we host team events throughout the year to celebrate, connect, and have fun
together.
* Learning never stops here, so after six months, you’ll receive a dedicated learning and development budget to keep growing your
skills and exploring new horizons.
