Job description

The opportunity

This opportunity is within our Data & AI team and provides advisory services focused on AI Engineering and Generative AI (GenAI).

As an AI Engineering professional, you will help businesses unlock value by designing, building, and operationalizing scalable AI solutions using modern MLOps pipelines and cloud-native technologies. You will work on integrating large language models (LLMs), automating workflows with GenAI, and embedding AI capabilities into business processes. The consultant will collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and business leaders to ensure the AI-driven solutions are aligned with strategic goals and deliver tangible business impact.

This role will be based in Dubai, with a center of excellence in Jordan and Egypt, and will support MENA client engagements remotely. Travel may be required based on business needs.

In this fast-moving space, you will be a key driver in identifying opportunities, shaping offerings, and supporting business development efforts.

Your key responsibilities

Manage up to two projects alongside senior business leaders such as Directors and Partners, and enable clients to define an AI-driven FAAS strategy that appropriately addresses risk and maximizes value from emerging technologies. Help clients realize business value through AI use-cases—including LLMs, GenAI applications, and MLOps implementation.

Ensure timely delivery in compliance with regulatory requirements, effective execution of the FAAS service delivery framework, and collaborate with other service lines for integrated service delivery. Monitor engagement team performance against the budget, stay updated on emerging AI trends, evaluate innovative AI / GenAI tools, and support go-to-market efforts.

Skills and attributes for success

Proactivity, accountability, and a results-driven mindset are crucial. Manage competing priorities, communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and deliver high-quality, innovative solutions.

To qualify for the role, you must have

• A bachelor's degree and approximately 3 to 4 years of related work experience
• At least 2 years of experience in a global consulting firm
• Practical experience in AI and ML development with Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP)
• Hands-on experience building and fine-tuning LLMs, working with frameworks like LangChain, HuggingFace, or OpenAI APIs
• Experience designing MLOps pipelines, AI solution architecture, and deploying AI models in production
• Exposure to GenAI use cases such as document summarization, chatbots, intelligent assistants, and code generation
• Domain knowledge in Government, Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail, or Telecom
• Strong ability to translate complex business problems into AI solutions with measurable impact
• Knowledge of data privacy, ethical AI, and responsible AI principles
• Flexibility and willingness to travel on short notice, as necessary

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Experience with a leading consulting firm
• Experience with GenAI tooling ecosystems such as Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, or AWS Bedrock
• Proficiency in the Arabic language

What we look for

Ambitious leaders passionate about applying AI and GenAI to solve complex client problems. Entrepreneurial mindset, accountability for results, and eagerness to mentor the next generation of talent within EY are key qualities.

What we offer

We offer a competitive compensation package based on performance. Additionally, we provide:

• Continuous learning to navigate future challenges
• Success as defined by you, with tools and flexibility to make a meaningful impact
• Transformative leadership through insights, coaching, and confidence building
• Diverse and inclusive culture that embraces individuality and empowers voices
