AI Business Consultant

HEMA wants to continue growing even harder in the coming years, and that is only possible if we start working smarter. That cannot be achieved with just a few smart tools. For that, the work itself must change. Managers cannot manage that change alone, and that is why we are looking for you. You will work intensively with a number of teams. You facilitate workshops, dare to ask the difficult questions, and keep the target vision both ambitious and realistic. For each team, you deliver an opportunity assessment, a target vision of the work process, a prioritized portfolio, and an established plan with owners, KPIs, and financials. You substantiate the savings per team in a business case and, together with Business Control, track whether the value is actually being realized. If it falls behind, you adjust course. You help develop the standard approach, templates, and tools, monitor planning and progress across teams, and report to the AI Lead and the MT. You are also responsible for the step from plan to practice. For each use case, you choose the right route (build in-house or procure) and build rapid prototypes yourself using, for example, Claude, Copilot, or Lovable to make the target vision tangible. Together with HR, you carefully guide what this means for roles and staffing. You work in the central AI team (part of HEMA's Strategy Team) and report to the AI Lead. You are the linchpin between the Transformation Specialists in the four priority teams, the AI Solution Engineers who support implementation, and the teams themselves. Furthermore, you work with Business Control, HR, and Digital.

At HEMA, you work in an environment where people truly collaborate. You are given the space to develop yourself, receive good guidance, and get feedback that is truly useful to you. Whether you are just starting out or already have experience: you are welcome with us. Additionally, at HEMA you receive:

• 💸 A good salary appropriate to your knowledge and experience.
• 🌴 30 vacation days (based on 40 hours) and 8% holiday allowance, so you can recharge in time.
• 🎯 A variable reward of up to 14% of your annual salary - depending on the collective result.
• 💸 A net monthly expense allowance
• 🎄 A fixed year-end bonus of 4% of your annual salary
• 🛍️ 15% staff discount on all your HEMA favorites - from cream puffs to towels and notebooks.
• 🧓 A good pension scheme, so you are well-situated later on as well.
• 🚗 Travel allowance of €0.23 per kilometer (from 10 km one way up to max. 30 km)
• 🎡 Access to the 'benefits at work' platform, with discounts on top brands, day trips, and other extras that make life more enjoyable.

Based on knowledge and vision, you dare to challenge a department toward a truly different design. Not just a little faster, but truly different. You have leadership and presence, you are pragmatic, and you achieve or build something yourself, instead of only advising. You remain level-headed, even when a conversation about roles and costs becomes tense. Furthermore, you bring:

At HEMA, we work with over 17,000 colleagues toward a better everyday life in a more beautiful world. With products that are more practical, more beautiful, better, and also last longer. And with colorful stores in villages, cities, and online. We are proud of how far we have come, but we are not yet satisfied. HEMA is truly HEMA again and ready for the next step. Our ambition? To become the leader in a challenging market. We do that together, as one team, with proud colleagues, entrepreneurs, and partners. By playing to win. That means being curious, seizing opportunities, collaborating with pleasure, and always aiming for the best result. You dare to speak your mind and challenge others to become better together. With your unique contribution, you can help build the HEMA of tomorrow. You make HEMA real. Will you join us?
