• Work alongside engineering, architecture, security and platform teams.
• Present solutions and recommendations to senior business and technical stakeholders.
• Support adoption of AI capabilities across enterprise teams.
• Develop reusable AI patterns, prompts, templates and best practices.

What we're looking for

The most important requirement is your ability to understand a business problem and work it through to a practical solution.

You will ideally have:

• Strong client-facing consulting, Business Analysis or transformation experience.
• Experience running discovery workshops and engaging senior stakeholders.
• A strong understanding of business processes and process improvement.
• Experience identifying and developing practical Generative AI / Agentic AI use cases.
