Job description

Help companies figure out what they should actually do with AI, then help them make it happen.

DBLU is seeking an exceptional Director of AI Transformation Consulting to help build and lead our consulting practice.

Most companies do not suffer from a shortage of AI tools. They struggle to determine where AI will create meaningful business value, how it should fit into the way their organization actually operates, and what controls need to exist before AI is given authority to act.

DBLU helps answer those questions. Our consulting-led approach begins by understanding the business before recommending technology. We work with executives and operating teams to uncover how work actually happens: objectives, workflows, systems, roles, terminology, information, policies, decision points, handoffs, constraints and governance requirements.

We then turn that understanding into a structured, human-reviewed model of the organization and use it to identify, prioritize and design AI opportunities that can create measurable business results.

What you’ll do

• Lead executive discovery with CEOs, COOs, CFOs and functional leaders.
• Guide creation of the client’s operational ontology across business objectives, customers, products/services, roles, teams, workflows, systems, information, policies, metrics, decisions, governance requirements, approval authorities, constraints and terminology.
• Identify and prioritize AI opportunities based on business value, revenue impact, cost reduction, capacity creation, customer impact, frequency, process friction, technical feasibility, data availability, readiness, governance, oversight, risk and measurable ROI.
• Turn analysis into clear executive recommendations.
• Sell consulting engagements by diagnosing needs, scoping work, developing proposals/SOWs, presenting methodology, converting conversations into paid discovery, and expanding successful engagements into implementation work.
• Build the consulting practice: methodology, interview frameworks, consultant training, quality standards, deliverables, staffing models, pricing, sales methodology, engagement economics, vertical playbooks, reusable IP and implementation patterns.
• Recruit and manage consultants as the practice grows.

Who we’re looking for

The ideal candidate combines management consulting discipline, business operating knowledge, executive presence and commercial instincts. Strong backgrounds could include strategy consulting, digital transformation, business-process consulting, technology strategy, AI transformation, or internal corporate strategy/transformation.

Ideal candidates will have approximately 7–15+ years of relevant experience, experience leading client engagements, strong structured problem-solving and executive communication, strong discovery/interview skills, process and operating-model fluency, business-case/ROI analysis, ability to present recommendations to senior leaders, and commercial experience selling or expanding consulting engagements.

Experience with AI, automation, governance, knowledge graphs, process mining or enterprise architecture is valuable but not mandatory.

Compensation & opportunity

We intend to offer competitive early-stage cash compensation, performance-based compensation tied to consulting revenue and growth, meaningful equity participation, direct access to DBLU leadership, and the opportunity to build and eventually lead a larger consulting organization.

This is an employee position, reflecting the central role this person will play in DBLU’s ongoing operations and intellectual property.

Our philosophy is simple: Business before AI. Understanding before automation. Authority before action.
