You are a self-driven management consultant who excels at guiding organizations to accomplish their strategic objectives through technology and execution excellence. We're looking for an AI Specialist who is passionate about building cutting-edge AI solutions — especially using Microsoft Copilot Studio and other leading web-based AI development platforms. You are front and center with our clients and their executive teams, exploring new solutions, developing market-defining roadmaps, and rolling up your sleeves to execute the vision.

What You’ll Do

• Strategize & Coach: Help clients and team members better understand AI capabilities, create strategies and drive adoption of the tools you build.
• Design and Build: Lead the design, development, and deployment of AI applications using Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI Services, and other web-based AI development frameworks.
• Collaborate and Co-Create: Work closely with business strategists, developers, and client stakeholders to design solutions that are intuitive, scalable, and solve real business challenges.
• Prototype Rapidly: Build proofs-of-concept and minimum viable products (MVPs) to quickly validate ideas and assumptions, leveraging agile development approaches.
• Integrate: Connect AI applications to enterprise data sources, CRM systems, operational platforms, and more — ensuring solutions are robust, secure, and sustainable.
• Stay Current: Keep ahead of evolving AI technologies, Copilot extensions, LLM advancements, and best practices for secure, responsible AI deployment.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in AI application development, with a strong track record of delivering production-ready solutions preferred.
• Technical Expertise:
  • Hands‑on expertise with Microsoft Copilot Studio (building custom copilots, leveraging plugins/connectors).
  • Proficiency in Azure AI services (e.g., Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Services, Bot Framework).
  • Strong skills in Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate) and/or low‑code development environments.
  • Familiarity with REST APIs, GraphQL, and integration architectures.
• Consulting Mindset: Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions, with an emphasis on clear communication, stakeholder engagement, and problem‑solving.
• Builder's Spirit: You enjoy creating — not just maintaining — and you thrive in fast‑paced environments where curiosity, experimentation, and collaboration are key.
• Ethical AI Awareness: A working knowledge of responsible AI practices, bias mitigation, security standards, and data privacy requirements.

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with Copilot extensions for Dynamics 365, Teams, or SharePoint.
• Skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or other backend web languages.
• Knowledge of industry-specific AI applications (e.g., healthcare, manufacturing, financial services).
