Job Description

We’re looking for an AI Transformation Consultant who combines business transformation expertise with hands-on experience designing and building AI agents and AI-enabled solutions for enterprise stakeholders. In this role, you’ll partner directly with business and technology leaders to identify opportunities for AI-driven transformation, assess and redesign existing business processes, and translate complex operational challenges into practical AI solutions. You’ll be responsible for both shaping AI transformation strategies and actively building, prototyping, and implementing agentic AI solutions that deliver measurable business value. The ideal candidate brings a strong consulting and problem-solving mindset, experience driving business-facing transformation initiatives, and demonstrated technical capabilities in developing AI agents. We’re specifically looking for individuals who have built AI agents in collaboration with business stakeholders to address real organizational needs, beyond personal productivity tools or individual process automations. You should be comfortable engaging with business leaders to understand their challenges, identifying where AI can meaningfully improve operations, and getting hands-on with the technology to bring those solutions to life. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of AI strategy, business transformation, and technical implementation, helping organizations move beyond AI experimentation toward scalable, enterprise-wide adoption. What You’ll Do Identify & Shape AI Transformation Opportunities

• Partner directly with business stakeholders and enterprise leaders to assess existing business processes, identify operational challenges, and uncover opportunities for AI-driven transformation.
• Lead discovery sessions, stakeholder workshops, and current-state assessments to understand business needs and identify high-impact AI use cases.
• Translate complex business problems into actionable AI transformation strategies, future-state workflows, and technical solution requirements.

Design, Build & Implement AI Agents

• Personally design, develop, prototype, and implement AI agents and agentic workflows that address business challenges identified in partnership with stakeholders.
• Work directly with business users, product owners, and technical teams to gather requirements, define agent capabilities, and translate business needs into functional AI solutions.
• Build AI agents capable of executing multi-step tasks, interacting with enterprise systems, retrieving information, and supporting complex business workflows.
• Develop and configure agentic workflows involving LLMs, tool integrations, orchestration, decision logic, and human-in-the-loop processes.
• Leverage AI development frameworks, APIs, and platforms such as OpenAI, Azure AI, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Claude, LangChain, LangGraph, or comparable technologies.
• Test, troubleshoot, and refine agent behavior, prompts, integrations, and workflows to improve reliability, accuracy, and performance.
• Collaborate with engineering and data teams to integrate AI agents into existing enterprise systems and support deployment into production environments.
• Demonstrate the ability to explain technical design decisions, agent architecture, implementation approaches, and the business impact of solutions personally developed.

Drive End-to-End AI Transformation

• Support AI transformation initiatives from initial opportunity identification and strategy development through solution design, implementation, and adoption.
• Assess current-state business processes and design future-state operating models that incorporate AI agents, automation, and human-AI collaboration.
• Partner with cross-functional business and technology teams to embed AI solutions into existing operations and enterprise workflows.
• Help organizations transition from manual or fragmented processes to AI-enabled operating models that improve efficiency, scalability, and decision-making.
• Manage competing priorities, navigate ambiguity, and drive execution across complex stakeholder environments.
