Job summary

Thomson Reuters seeks a Principal AI Transformation Consultant to lead AI-enabled workflow redesign and value realization for large client teams, embedding with sales, AI engineers, enablement, and product groups from first contact through rollout.

You’ll guide senior leaders on workforce changes, adoption strategies, and measurable outcomes, leveraging broad industry and regulatory knowledge and a strong consulting background in complex technology delivery.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Law, Business, Organizational Transformation, Computer Science, or a related field; advanced degree or relevant certifications preferred.
• 10+ years in professional services, management consulting, transformation consulting, or complex AI or enterprise‑technology delivery.
• Experience leading complex workflow redesign, targeted operating changes, technology‑enabled adoption, and measurable customer outcomes.
• Ability to advise executives, structure ambiguity, facilitate difficult decisions, challenge assumptions, and translate strategy into practical plans.
• Commercial judgment in shaping opportunities, scoping work, estimating effort, and delivering against what was promised.
• Analytical ability to combine usage, survey, operational, and stakeholder evidence into defensible recommendations and value measures.
• Experience in legal, tax, trade, risk, compliance, or another complex regulated knowledge‑work domain.
• Strong understanding of AI capabilities and limitations, change and adoption, responsible‑use considerations, and cross‑functional delivery.

Responsibilities

• Lead complex transformation engagements from discovery and value hypothesis through workflow redesign where needed, proof of value adoption, and value realization.
• Advise senior leaders on priority AI‑enabled workflows and the targeted changes to roles, skills, practices, controls, and ways of working needed to scale them.
• Shape transformation opportunities from early customer discovery through delivery planning, defining achievable outcomes, scope, approach, estimates, and statements of work with Sales and specialist teams.
• Own the hardest calls on your engagements: the approach when the path is unclear, the tradeoffs when stakeholders disagree, and the commitments we make to the customer on scope and outcomes.
• Set the adoption and activation strategy; diagnose and recover stalled or declining adoption, including barriers in workflow fit, confidence, risk, or customer ownership.
• Establish value hypotheses, baselines, measures, and evidence standards so customer‑facing value claims match what the data supports.
• Work shoulder to shoulder with forward deployed AI engineers as they build against the customer’s real systems and data, shaping what gets built and turning technical possibility into workflow change that holds up in practice.
• Bring adoption, enablement, product, and customer‑success specialists into one outcome; coach consultants on complex work; and turn field learning into reusable methods and value frameworks.
