Quantium partners with the world's largest corporations to forge a better, more intelligent world.

As a Lead Consultant, AI Solutions you'll drive the delivery of innovative AI solutions while developing key business development capabilities. This role combines hands‑on delivery leadership with growing commercial responsibilities. You'll lead complex client engagements, build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, and identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts.

You will lead the end‑to‑end delivery of AI solution engagements, working closely with client teams to solve their most pressing business challenges. This role requires strong technical understanding, exceptional client management skills, and the ability to lead cross‑functional delivery teams while beginning to contribute to new business development activities. As a Lead, you will also play a key mentoring role for junior team members.

How You'll Create Impact

• Lead end-to-end delivery of AI transformation projects, taking ownership of timelines, deliverables, and outcomes while working autonomously with minimal direction
• Drive the analysis, design, and implementation of AI solutions, ensuring positive impact through hands‑on collaboration with clients
• Work directly with C‑suite executives as a thought partner, translating business ambitions into actionable technical solutions that create sustainable results
• Navigate ambiguous, ever‑changing client situations with intellectual curiosity and strategic thinking
• Shape project approach and methodology, balancing business impact with technical feasibility in complex organisational environments

The Superpowers You'll Be Bringing To The Team

• Strategic execution: Superior project management skills combined with the strategic thinking to see around corners. You excel in ambiguous situations and know how to drive clarity from complexity.
• Communication: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills that translate technical concepts into compelling business narratives. You influence decision‑making at the highest levels.
• Earning trust: Clients see you as someone who genuinely gets their business and consistently delivers. You build relationships that last beyond individual projects.

Required Experience And Capabilities

• 6–8+ years of consulting experience with substantial exposure to digital transformation or AI advisory within top‑tier consulting firms
• Tertiary qualification in Business, Engineering, Economics, Data Science or related field
• Proven track record leading large‑scale transformation projects from inception through implementation
• Comfort working both collaboratively in teams and autonomously with little direction
• Strong business fluency in AI/ML concepts and their strategic applications - sufficient to engage credibly with both executives and technical teams
• Exceptional communication skills across strategic, commercial, and technical contexts

By Joining The Quantium Team, You'll Get To

• Forge your path: So many of our team have moved around different teams or offices. You'll be in the driver's seat, and we empower you to make your career your own.
• Find your kind: Embrace diversity and connect with your tribe (think foodies, dog lovers, readers, or runners).
