AI Process Consultant
$120,000–$150,000 year
On-siteSt. Louis, Missouri, United States
Job Summary
Embed directly with clients to run discovery, interviewing operators, observing live workflows, and mapping current-state processes to surface high-ROI opportunities for AI and automation. Build the business case for each engagement by quantifying status quo costs, modeling expected ROI, and prioritizing sequenced automation roadmaps. Design future-state workflows with detailed process diagrams, decision logic, and integration touchpoints. Partner with AI Engineers to translate client requirements into technical specs, validate outputs, and brokering trade-offs in plain language. Lead change management through stakeholder alignment, communication plans, and adoption tracking. Own the client relationship end-to-end, serving as the single point of accountability for outcomes from first conversation through post-deployment reviews. Contribute internally by codifying reusable discovery frameworks, ROI models, and industry playbooks.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Operations, Economics, Computer Science, or a related field
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future
- 2+ years of professional experience in management consulting, deployment strategy, technical program management, operations, or a similar client-facing strategic role
- Demonstrated track record of driving complex projects to measurable outcomes in client or stakeholder-facing environments
- Strong analytical foundation — comfortable with spreadsheets, ROI modeling, basic SQL, and quantitative reasoning
- Working knowledge of modern AI capabilities and what LLMs, agents, and RAG systems can and can't do and the judgment to scope realistic AI solutions vs. avoid AI theater
- Ability to work independently in ambiguous, fast-moving client environments. You attack messy problems without waiting for a project plan
- Exceptional communication skills. You can run a discovery interview with a warehouse foreman and an executive readout with a CEO on the same day
- Problem-solver who gets energy from sitting across the desk from a real operator and figuring out where the friction actually is
Desired Qualifications
- Python literacy is a plus but not required
- Prior consulting experience at a top firm (MBB, Big 4 Strategy, Deloitte, Accenture, or boutique strategy/operations firm) or a deployment-strategy / forward-deployed role at a software company
- Experience leading process re-engineering, workflow automation, or digital transformation engagements end-to-end
- Familiarity with workflow automation platforms (Zapier, Make, n8n) or major SaaS systems (CRMs, ERPs, ticketing, document management) at the level of 'I can spec an integration without help'
- Experience working with SMB clients across industries such as professional services, healthcare, logistics, or retail
