AI Management Consultant, AI Natives

ABOUT AI CENTRAL

AI Central (AIC) is NCS’s enterprise AI capability spine — responsible for building, productising, and deploying AI capabilities and reusable assets across regulated and mission-critical sectors.

We work at the intersection of AI, business transformation, and real-world client environments, turning opportunities into solutions that create measurable impact and can scale across sectors and markets.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an analytical and forward-thinking (Senior) AI Management Consultant to help clients identify where AI can create meaningful business value and translate those opportunities into tangible outcomes.

This is not a traditional advisory role. We are looking for AI-native consultants who combine structured problem solving and business acumen with a builder mindset — using AI as a force multiplier across research, analysis, solution design, and prototyping.

You will work closely with senior client leaders and multidisciplinary teams to move from business problem → AI opportunity → solution → measurable impact.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

AI Strategy & Transformation

• Assess client AI readiness, data maturity, business processes, and operational challenges
• Identify and prioritise AI, automation, and transformation opportunities based on business value and feasibility
• Develop AI strategies, business cases, transformation roadmaps, and implementation plans
• Redesign processes and operating models to embed AI effectively into business operations
• Define KPIs and success measures to track business impact and adoption

Build & Validate

• Translate ambiguous business challenges into clear solution hypotheses and actionable plans
• Work with engineering, data science, and product teams to turn AI opportunities into prototypes, MVPs, and deployable solutions
• Use AI tools actively across research, analysis, prototyping, and delivery
• Drive rapid experiments to validate desirability, feasibility, and business value
• Balance speed and experimentation with enterprise requirements around security, reliability, and governance

Client Engagement & Delivery

• Lead client engagements and manage delivery with a high degree of independence
• Facilitate workshops and engage stakeholders across all levels, including C-suite executives
• Translate effectively between clients, business requirements and AI-native build teams
• Advise clients on AI investment priorities, solution approaches, and build-versus-buy-versus-partner decisions
• Build trusted client relationships through structured thinking, sound judgement, impartial advisory and practical problem solving
• Contribute reusable frameworks, methodologies, and solution patterns that help scale NCS’s AI capabilities

Qualifications

WHAT YOU SHOULD POSSESS

• Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline
• 2–6 years of relevant experience in management/strategy consulting, AI consulting, forward deployed engineering, digital transformation, or related fields
• Experience in AI strategy, process transformation, operational excellence, or digital transformation
• Strong analytical, strategic, commercial, and structured problem-solving capabilities
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders across all levels, and independently lead engagements
• Excellent communication, presentation, facilitation, and client-facing skills
• Strong interest in AI with demonstrated ability to use AI tools effectively in your work
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, take proactive ownership, and deliver outcomes at pace

• Understanding of GenAI, LLMs, AI agents, automation technologies, and their practical business applications
• Experience working closely with engineering, data science, or product teams
• Experience in regulated or complex enterprise environments
• Deep sectoral expertise in a specific industry
