Transformational AI Strategist

Transformative AI Leader

About us

We're a global leader in Business Process Management (BPM) and digital transformation, trusted by leading brands across various sectors. Our AI Consulting practice drives measurable business outcomes through pragmatic, scalable AI adoption.

Role Overview

We seek a visionary leader with deep AI transformation expertise to translate AI opportunities into tangible P&L impact, EBITDA growth, and enterprise value creation.

This role is for someone who thrives at the intersection of boardroom strategy and delivery trenches – advising C-suite executives, architecting AI roadmaps, and ensuring execution that drives hard financial outcomes. You will connect traditional AI, Generative AI, and intelligent automation to real cost takeout, margin improvement, revenue growth, and competitive advantage.

Key Responsibilities

• Build trusted relationships with senior business leaders (CEO, CFO, COO, CDO).
• Shape multi-year AI transformation programs with clear EBITDA impact, including value articulation, business case development, and ROI modeling.
• Drive account expansion and originate $5M–$20M+ AI-led transformation deals.
• Lead AI maturity assessments, opportunity mapping, and prioritization workshops that explicitly link AI initiatives to P&L levers (revenue uplift, cost efficiency, asset utilization).
• Define enterprise AI strategies across Traditional AI/ML, Generative AI, and Intelligent Automation.
• Create build vs. buy AI roadmaps leveraging partner ecosystem (hyperscalers, AI platforms, niche ISVs).
• Oversee design and delivery of AI solutions that directly improve margins, optimize cost-to-serve, and unlock growth.
• Ensure AI is embedded into operating models, processes, and tech stacks to sustain financial impact.
• Govern delivery to ensure programs move from PoC to scaled financial results.
• Develop and refine AI consulting IP – frameworks, financial impact models, and accelerators.
• Represent the company in client forums, analyst briefings, and industry events as a trusted voice on AI's role in value creation.
• Mentor consulting talent to think in terms of financial levers, not just technology adoption.

• Proven track record of selling and delivering large-scale ($5M–$20M) AI/digital transformation engagements with measurable EBITDA impact.
• Expertise in linking operational changes and AI initiatives to financial metrics valued by boards and investors.
• Strong working knowledge of AI/ML lifecycle: data strategy, model development, deployment, MLOps.
• Understanding of traditional AI/ML (predictive analytics, optimization, NLP, computer vision) and Generative AI (LLMs, agentic AI, RAG architectures, fine-tuning, prompt engineering).
• Experience embedding AI into enterprise operations at scale to drive cost takeout and growth.
• Strong understanding of the AI technology stack including data ingestion and processing layers, data platforms, feature stores, model development environments, MLOps pipelines, APIs, and cloud-native AI services.
• Proven ability to work with Traditional AI (predictive analytics, optimization, NLP, computer vision) and Generative AI (LLMs, agentic AI, RAG architectures, fine-tuning, prompt engineering).
