About the Principal – AI Strategy Role

This is not a traditional advisory-only role. We are looking for a leader who combines executive-level strategic judgment with hands-on AI fluency — someone who can identify high-value AI use cases, shape practical roadmaps, guide rapid prototyping, and help clients embed AI into real workflows.

The ideal candidate has led complex AI, digital, technology, analytics, or transformation programs and is comfortable translating between business leaders, technical teams, and operators. Industry depth is welcome but not required; the core requirement is the ability to rapidly understand client environments and drive AI-enabled value across contexts.

• Define the business case, value pools, ROI logic, risks, and organizational requirements for AI-enabled transformation.

• Advise senior executives on how AI can reshape cost structures, revenue opportunities, productivity, customer experience, decision-making, and competitive positioning. <span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,&qu
