Senior Consultant - AI/ML

AI/ML Senior Consultant

Do you want to see your models change how a healthcare company works, not just score well in a notebook? Do you like owning the whole lifecycle – from framing the business problem to the pipeline that keeps a model healthy in production? Do you want to help build a new office from the ground up?

For our Zürich office, we are looking for an AI/ML Senior Consultant to design, build and deploy machine learning, GenAI and automation solutions together with our healthcare clients.

An AI/ML Senior Consultant combines deep technical expertise with consulting craft. You care about whether a solution delivers measurable business value, not just whether the model is accurate, and you work across the lifecycle to make it happen – from data and experimentation to deployment, MLOps and governance. You'll represent the data science competencies in small cross-functional teams of product builders, ML engineers and strategy consultants, and help shape the development and commercial growth of Intellishore in Switzerland.

Who is Intellishore?

Founded in 2013, Intellishore is home to 80+ passionate specialists in healthcare strategy, AI, and data, working from our Copenhagen and Zürich offices. We partner with leading organizations to shape the future of health across the ecosystem by unlocking the full potential of data and AI.

We are builders who believe in an open and honest approach to consulting. We ask questions, stand by our beliefs, and cut through complexity to create clarity. For us, progress doesn’t come from technology alone – it happens when the right people have the right data, strategy, and tools to act. As a collective of developers and strategists, visionaries and pragmatists, we bring energy, expertise, and a passion for helping others succeed.

Intellishore CH, our Zürich entity, is focused on empowering healthcare companies to realize their AI aspirations – combining the entrepreneurial setup of a young office with the backing of the wider Intellishore family.

What will you be working on?

You'll be part of delivering client projects across the healthcare and life sciences value chain – such as improving HCP engagement and experience to performance optimization through advanced ML models. Here are some examples:

• Building ML and GenAI solutions. Design and implement machine learning, GenAI and automation solutions using Python and modern ML frameworks – including LLM-based solutions built on retrieval, vector databases and RAG. Choose the approach that fits the problem, not the one that is most fashionable.
• Deploying into the cloud. Take solutions to production in cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, or GCP, with a focus on scalability and reliability. Make sure what you ship is production-ready, secure and compliant with the standards of a regulated industry.
• Running MLOps across the lifecycle. Build and maintain end-to-end MLOps pipelines: CI/CD automation, model versioning, performance monitoring, data and model drift detection, and automated retraining. Put the monitoring and alerting in place that keep production ML systems healthy over time.
• Defining how we deliver AI. Establish best practices for delivering scalable AI solutions across the entire lifecycle, from experimentation to production, and drive adoption of emerging technologies that improve model accuracy, speed and business applicability.
• Building Intellishore CH. Help shape the market position, commercial growth and strategic journey of our Zürich office, and cultivate a culture of innovation and continuous learning within the AI team.

Across all of it, you'll stay ahead of industry trends in AI/ML, cloud platforms and automation frameworks – and bring the ones that matter into client work.

Who are we looking for?

This is a senior role, but don't worry about whether you have too much or too little experience – your title will reflect your level of seniority and expertise. Whatever your level, you care about what happens after the model is trained. You care about the work that makes an AI solution deliver value:

• Sound statistical foundations behind every model
• The full lifecycle – data ingestion, model development, training, deployment, monitoring, retraining and governance
• Automated, repeatable deployments through CI/CD
• Monitoring of performance and of data and model drift
• Security, compliance and data protection – especially with sensitive health data
• Solutions that scale reliably in the cloud
• Measurable business impact, not just model accuracy

You are perfect for this role if you:

• Have delivered AI/ML solutions. You have 3+ years of experience in data science, machine learning or AI solution delivery – preferably from consulting – and an educational background in Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML or a related field.
• Are fluent in Python and ML. You are proficient in Python and associated frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn and Pandas, with a solid grasp of statistics.
• Have taken ML to production in the cloud. You have hands-on experience building and deploying AI solutions at scale on Azure, AWS, or Databricks.
• Have built AI/ML on modern data platforms. You have worked with AI/ML in Snowflake and Databricks – for example, building, training and deploying models where the client's data already lives.
• Know MLOps. You understand CI/CD, automation, monitoring and retraining strategies – and have put them into practice.
• Work with LLMs. You are familiar with LLMs, vector databases and RAG techniques.
• Consult with confidence. You bring excellent communication, stakeholder management and strategic understanding, and you can explain technical trade-offs to business and technical audiences alike.
• Stay open-minded about technology. We are technology-agnostic and implement only tailored, best-fit solutions for our clients, so you are curious and quick to learn new tools.

Experience from the pharmaceutical or healthcare industry – clinical, medical, commercial or supply chain use cases – would make you stand out. You are fluent in English; German or French is a plus. The role requires on-site presence in Zürich.
