About the role
- Lead complex, high-impact client engagements end-to-end—from discovery and value targeting through launch and scale-up—anchored to business KPIs.
- Facilitate executive workshops; identify high-leverage use cases; craft AI adoption roadmaps that deliver value in a quarter and compound thereafter.
- Work in lockstep with a senior technical lead to define scope, cut clean iterations, and de-risk delivery across data, integration, and security constraints.
- Orchestrate change-management, training, and communications; design workflows that stick; establish governance, playbooks, and measurement.
- Define success metrics, baselines, and experiment designs; build dashboards and run regular business reviews with client sponsors.

Requirements
- 8+ years (or equivalent skill level) in consulting, product, strategy, or program leadership roles delivering technology-enabled change (client-facing required).
- Fluency in generative-AI concepts (LLMs, RAG, agents, prompt engineering).
- Proven ability to lead executive-level stakeholder management, align incentives, and de-risk complex initiatives.
- Strong analytical and product mindset: able to turn messy problems into testable plans, write tight PRDs/briefs, and make pragmatic trade-offs.
- Excellent written, verbal, visual communication, and facilitation skills.
- Bias for action: builder mentality, caring more about outcomes than optics.
