Benefits
Additional Information
The Senior AI Consultant supports clients in modernising their organisations through AI by conducting in-depth analyses of complex needs and proposing strategic solutions grounded in benchmarks, evidence, and operational reality. Drawing on AI expertise and consulting experience, you enrich recommendations, challenge stakeholders to think harder about the problems worth solving, and guide teams through the change that AI adoption demands. You formalise high-quality deliverables, evaluate the medium- and long-term impact of what you recommend, and ensure clients are satisfied with both the journey and the outcome. This role is client-facing. In most AI engagements you will be the senior SQLI voice in the room, supported by architects and engineers from across the Data & AI service line and the wider SQLI group. You will work closely with the Service Line Manager on offer development and with solution architects on solution design. You will also help shape the practice itself. New accelerators, points of view, and reusable IP come out of the work you do with clients. We want someone who treats that as part of the job, not a side project.
