We're looking for a Head of AI Strategy & Transformation to define and drive the enterprise AI agenda for Allianz Benelux. In this leadership role, you'll ensure Artificial Intelligence becomes a true engine for business performance, operational excellence, and innovation — not just a technology experiment.

Reporting to the Chief Data, Analytics & AI Officer, you'll own the AI strategy and operating model, lead our AI Transformation Program, and take AI from ambition to measurable impact. You'll be the bridge between business priorities and AI capabilities — and the voice of Allianz Benelux in Group-wide AI discussions.

What We Offer?

A leadership role shaping the AI future of a leading international insurer
Direct engagement with the Executive Committee and senior business leaders
Full ownership of the enterprise AI strategy, roadmap, and transformation programme
An international environment with strong connections to Allianz Group and Allianz Technology
Access to cutting-edge AI technologies and hyperscaler platforms (Microsoft, Google, AWS)
Professional development, executive programs, and long-term career opportunities
Flexible hybrid working model with a focus on work-life balance
Competitive salary package with comprehensive benefits

Your Responsibilities?

AI Strategy & Roadmap: Define and execute the enterprise AI strategy, translating vision into a prioritized roadmap that drives measurable business value.
AI Transformation Program: Lead organization-wide AI adoption, literacy, change management, and capability building to embed AI into how we work.
AI Product Portfolio: Own the full lifecycle of AI products — from use case discovery and business case development to industrialization, scaling, and value realization.
Group Alignment: Act as the primary interface with Allianz Group and Allianz Tech, ensuring strategic alignment while championing Benelux priorities.
Responsible AI & Governance: Ensure all AI initiatives comply with EU AI Act, data privacy requirements, and internal governance frameworks.
Cross-functional Delivery: Coordinate Business, IT, Data, Risk, Compliance, and Legal stakeholders to deliver AI solutions efficiently and at scale.
Innovation & Emerging Technologies: Monitor AI market trends, evaluate new capabilities, and identify opportunities to accelerate experimentation and influence the Group roadmap.
AI-enabled Ways of Working: Embed AI assistants and autonomous agents into business processes, supporting leaders in redesigning operations for the AI era.

Your Profile?

You are a senior AI leader with proven experience defining and executing enterprise AI strategies and leading large-scale transformation programs. You've driven AI adoption across multiple business functions and delivered AI products that created measurable value — whether in productivity, customer experience, operational efficiency, or risk management.

You excel at working cross-functionally, aligning Business, IT, Data, and Risk teams around shared objectives. You've engaged Executive Committees to shape AI roadmaps, secure sponsorship, and communicate AI's business impact. You're equally comfortable presenting to the Board and rolling up your sleeves with delivery teams.

You bring experience in a multinational environment, collaborating with shared technology organizations or centers of excellence to balance local priorities with enterprise standards.

You hold a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Business Administration, or a related discipline. Additional certifications in AI, Generative AI, or Digital Transformation are a strong asset. You are fluent in English. Dutch and/or French is considered a strong asset.

What sets you apart:

Deep understanding of AI, Generative AI, Agentic AI, and emerging technologies — and how to turn them into business outcomes
Strong AI product management skills — portfolio governance, prioritization, value measurement, and scaling
Knowledge of Responsible AI, AI governance, and regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act)
Familiarity with the AI vendor landscape and hyperscaler services
Strategic business acumen paired with change leadership and stakeholder influence
A collaborative mindset — building trust across functions, Group entities, and external partners

Ready to shape the AI future of Allianz? If you combine strategic vision with execution power and want to lead AI transformation at scale, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today.
