• Develop and maintain a suite of custom AI-enabled delivery tools (research automation, financial analysis, proposal generation, meeting synthesis) used across the practice to accelerate engagement delivery and quality.
• Mine and apply the firm's internal knowledge base to strengthen proposal credibility and track record positioning for new business.
• Act as a bridge between consulting delivery teams and the firm's emerging AI tooling capability.
