Job description

Junior AI Implementation Specialist Olive Tree Consulting Cape Town, Western Cape, ZA

Olive Tree Consulting is currently assisting a major South African financial services firm as they integrate new internal workflows. We are looking for a Junior AI Implementation Specialist to join our team in a fully remote capacity. This role focuses on helping our clients use practical tools to handle documentation and decision tracking more efficiently. You will be helping to build the systems that keep large teams organized and focused.

About the role

This position exists to support our advisory practice by bridging the gap between strategic goals and daily operations. Olive Tree believes in clarity, and the Junior AI Implementation Specialist helps teams set up simple, automated systems that capture notes and track responsibilities. You will work closely with our advisors to ensure that technology serves the management rhythm rather than complicating it. This is a permanent, full-time position where you can develop your skills in a professional, supportive environment. Because we are a fully remote firm, you will coordinate with your teammates through written updates and scheduled calls, focusing on clear results rather than office presence.

What you will do

• Configure and test basic AI tools for automated transcription and meeting summaries to ensure they capture the right information.
• Review generated outputs to ensure they meet our standards for clarity and accuracy before they reach the client.
• Create simple documentation guides and how to manuals for client teams to follow.
• Assist in mapping out current communication habits and identifying where tools can reduce repetitive manual work.
• Support advisors by preparing data for client reviews and internal coordination meetings.
• Help maintain the internal knowledge base of best practices for tool deployment and configuration.
• Monitor the performance of implemented tools and gather feedback from users to identify areas for improvement.
• Participate in remote team syncs to discuss project progress and troubleshoot technical issues.

What we are looking for

• A curious mind that enjoys figuring out how different software tools work and how to make them better.
• Exceptional written communication skills and a strong preference for using plain, direct English.
• High attention to detail, especially when reviewing text for errors or checking data for consistency.
• A calm approach to solving technical problems and the patience to explain steps to others.
• The ability to work independently in a remote setting while staying connected to the team through regular updates.
• A commitment to making work easier for others through simple, clear instructions rather than complex explanations.
• A belief that technology should be a quiet helper in the background, not the center of the work.

Helpful background

• Basic familiarity with common AI chat tools, transcription software, or language models.
• Experience using project management software or shared documentation platforms like Notion or Google Workspace.
• A history of writing clearly for a professional or academic audience, such as reports or structured essays.
• A general interest in how businesses organize their internal work and manage their time.
• Any previous administrative or technical support work, even if it was in a part-time or volunteer capacity.
• The ability to learn new software interfaces quickly and teach others how to navigate them effectively.

What we offer

This is a fully remote role, meaning you can work from wherever you are most productive. We believe in a quiet, focused work environment that respects your time and your need for concentration. The compensation for this position is competitive for the market and reflects the value you bring to our team as a permanent employee. You will have the chance to learn from experienced advisors and gain exposure to how large organizations manage growth and structural change. We prioritize steady, sustainable work over artificial urgency, allowing you to build a career in a way that remains manageable and professional.

About Olive Tree Consulting

Olive Tree Consulting Group is a focused advisory practice that helps leadership teams solve recurring management issues. We typically work on the space between strategy and daily execution. A team can have very capable people and still find that decisions keep reopening, priorities stall, or responsibility remains unclear. These are rarely personality problems: they are structural habits that have not kept up with the company's growth.

We favor practical changes over large-scale transformation programs. Our work involves looking at how decisions are made, how meetings are run, and how ownership is recorded. We prefer useful written notes and clear ownership over polished presentations and vague alignment. Good advisory work should make things plainer and leave the team with a rhythm they can continue on their own.

The firm is built on the principle that memory is not a management system. We help teams create the smallest possible written record to support their work so that important follow-up does not depend on who was in the room or who has the best memory. The goal is a quieter management pattern that makes the existing work easier to lead.
