• Assist in technology selection projects with a focus on AI-enabling platforms, including ERP, MES, and data analytics tools.
• Support business development by contributing to proposals, client presentations, and thought leadership content.
• Work side-by-side with Ultra executives in managing client engagements and fostering trusted client relationships.
• Develop business cases and ROI models to justify AI investment and implementation roadmaps.

Qualifications:

• Prior experience in the manufacturing or distribution sector with knowledge of operational and digital best practices.
• Familiarity with enterprise technology platforms, including ERP, MES, data lakes, and cloud analytics.
• Experience planning and facilitating client workshops, training sessions, and strategic discussions.
• Proficient in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Microsoft Visio, Project, and SharePoint.
• Willingness for frequent travel to domestic client locations when deemed safe by the CDC.
• Commitment to professional engagement, including availability outside traditional working hours as needed.
• Comfortable working in a range of environments, from executive offices to manufacturing shop floors.
• Frequent visits to industrial sites may include exposure to machinery, noise, and other typical manufacturing conditions.
• Must maintain a professional home office suitable for remote client interaction.
• Routine travel by air, car, and other forms of transportation will be required.
