Job summary

AHEAD is seeking a Principal Consultant, Internal AI to drive AI‑powered transformation across business units and the Transformation Office.

You will embed with business units to surface opportunities, facilitate design‑thinking workshops, and guide use‑case intake while balancing business outcomes with technology delivery.

This role emphasizes change readiness, executive engagement, and measurable impact through adoption and savings.

Qualifications

• Minimum qualifications are not explicitly listed in the original posting; the role requires strong consulting, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills, along with a proven ability to translate business challenges into actionable technology solutions.

Responsibilities

• Embed with assigned business units to surface technology transformation opportunities through structured discovery and diagnostic sessions.
• Facilitate design‑thinking workshops to translate fuzzy pain points into well‑scoped problem statements, success criteria, and MVP candidates.
• Guide stakeholders through AHEAD's use‑case intake funnel, determining whether a use case is a citizen‑development opportunity, a quick win, or a longer development effort.
• Champion a consistent, repeatable approach to enable scale.
• Serve as the strategic continuity layer between business units and technology delivery teams, ensuring cohesion across citizen and complex use cases.
• Provide informed guidance on platform fit without serving as the technical architect; connect the right people at the right time.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders to ensure solutions are executable within AHEAD's delivery model.
• Assess workforce and role impacts alongside AI solution design; flag when change‑management, role redesign, or training is needed and pull in the right change‑management partners.
• Support BU stakeholders through the full adoption arc—from first demo through sustainable, embedded use—ensuring AI solutions don’t land on a shelf.
• Build momentum by capturing and sharing early wins, time savings, and adoption metrics that demonstrate business value back to leadership.
• Manage relationships with business leaders, development team members, and senior sponsors across your assigned domain.
• Communicate progress, trade‑offs, and prioritization decisions clearly to executive and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Represent your team’s work in leadership forums, contributing a grounded, business‑backed perspective to platform and roadmap decisions.
• Define success metrics at the use‑case level—time saved, errors reduced, adoption rate, headcount impact—and track them consistently.
• Contribute to show‑back / charge‑back accountability model with clear, honest reporting on business value delivered.
• Proactively surface blockers, risks, or capacity constraints to course‑correct before they become larger issues.
