I’m partnering with a fast‑growing, AI‑focused consulting business that’s expanding its strategic advisory capability. We’re looking for a client‑facing consultant who can sit comfortably between business strategy and technical delivery .

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with senior stakeholders, shaping AI‑led initiatives, and translating complex technical concepts into clear commercial outcomes, without needing to be hands‑on coding day‑to‑day.

The opportunity

You’ll work closely with clients to define and deliver AI and data‑driven strategies , guiding them from problem definition through to scalable solutions. While this is a strategic role, a working knowledge of software engineering or data modelling is essential due to the nature of the work and the business size

What you’ll be doing

- Partnering with client leadership teams to identify and shape AI use cases aligned to business goals
- Acting as a trusted advisor on AI strategy, data platforms, and operating models
- Translating business problems into logical AI, data, or software solution designs
- Working alongside technical teams to guide delivery and ensure solutions meet strategic intent
- Communicating complex AI and data concepts in a transparent, outcome‑focused way
- Supporting pre‑sales activity, solution shaping,



and executive presentations

What I’m looking for

- Experience in a client‑facing consulting or advisory role (strategy, technology, data, or AI)
- Strong understanding of how software is built or how data models are structured
- Exposure to AI‑driven solutions, advanced analytics, automation, or modern data platforms
- Ability to operate credibly with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders
- Commercial mindset with strong problem‑solving and communication skills

Nice to have

- Experience working with cloud platforms or modern data ecosystems
- Exposure to AI, ML, or applied analytics use cases
- Experience contributing to go‑to‑market or solution design initiatives

Why this role stands out

- Strategic, high‑impact work with genuine AI‑led transformation projects
- Strong balance of client exposure and solution influence
- Competitive package up to $170k base + super
- Flexible, remote working and a high‑calibre consulting environment

If you’re looking for a role where you can shape AI strategy, work closely with clients, and stay close to the technical detail without being purely hands‑on, I’d be keen to have a confidential conversation.
