Consultant
AI & Digital Transformation
Remote. 70% take-home. Build your own practice.
Your expertise. Your clients. Your terms.
The Role
What you will do
Guide clients through AI transformation across strategy, implementation, and governance. Your specific focus depends on your expertise.
Strategy and advisory
Assess client readiness for AI adoption. Identify high-value use cases. Design deployment roadmaps that connect AI capabilities to business outcomes. Build investment cases and establish governance frameworks.
Implementation and delivery
Translate strategy into execution alongside client teams. Select technologies, design integration approaches, and ensure solutions work within existing enterprise environments.
Compliance and risk
Navigate the regulatory landscape: ISO standards, national AI safety regulations, data privacy requirements, responsible AI frameworks. Address algorithmic bias, security risks, and governance.
Client relationships
Serve as the primary advisor to senior stakeholders. Lead workshops. Present findings. Build long-term relationships where clients return because they value your judgment.
Practice development
Contribute to Exec x AI's thought leadership. Develop methodologies. Mentor others. Build your own practice area around the expertise that distinguishes you.
How You'll Work
The model adapts to your life, not the other way around
☀️Morning
Review your pipeline in the Exec x AI platform. Check messages from your Regional Sales Director about two new qualified leads. Join a strategy call with a client exploring AI governance frameworks.
🔬Midday
Deep work on a deployment roadmap for a manufacturing client. Your methodology templates and compliance frameworks are ready — focus on the strategic insights that only you can provide.
🎯Afternoon
Present findings to a client's C-suite. Run a workshop on responsible AI principles. Your £10M PI insurance and Exec x AI credentials give the room confidence.
⚡Your terms
Finish at 3pm for school pickup. Work a 4-day week. Take a month between engagements. The model adapts to your life — not the other way around.
Returning to work after a break?
This role works part-time or full-time. You set your own hours. No minimum utilisation. No mandatory travel. No expectation that you pretend the break didn't happen. Start with one client. Build from there.
Our consultants include parents who work school hours, carers who need flexibility around appointments, and professionals returning on their own terms.

What We Look For
Who you are
Don't tick every box? Apply anyway.
If you're excited by this role but don't meet every criterion, we want to hear from you. We value potential, curiosity, and diverse experience. Some of the best consultants come from unexpected backgrounds. AI systems affect everyone — the people advising on them should reflect the breadth of society.
We look for four core capabilities. Where you gained them is secondary.
Client delivery experience
You've led or substantially contributed to consulting engagements, transformation projects, or advisory programmes. At a consulting firm, technology vendor, in-house digital team, government department, startup, or anywhere you delivered change.
Senior stakeholder relationships
You are someone that senior people trust. You've worked directly with board members, C-suite executives, department heads, programme sponsors.
AI and digital transformation awareness
You understand how AI, data, and digital technologies create business value. You don't need to be a data scientist — you need credibility across technical and business audiences.
Commercial instinct
You understand how consulting work is sold and delivered. You can spot opportunities and shape proposals. This doesn't require formal sales training — it means you understand value creation.
Experience that strengthens your application
You do not need all of these. They represent the range of backgrounds that make strong candidates.
8+ years in consulting, technology advisory, digital transformation, or a related field
Expertise in AI strategy, responsible AI/governance, process optimisation, data strategy, operating models, or change management
Experience in primary industries (agriculture, energy, mining) or secondary industries (manufacturing, logistics, construction, utilities)
Professional qualifications, certifications, or continuous learning in relevant areas
Experience building a practice, launching a service line, or entrepreneurial environments
What we do not require
An MBA or specific degree. Experience at a named firm. A linear career path. Previous commission-based experience. An unbroken employment history. If you have done the work, built the relationships, and delivered results — you are qualified.

What you gain
2–3x higher take-home at equivalent utilisation
Immediate Principal-level positioning
Fully remote — no office, no mandatory travel
Flexible hours you design around your life
Part-time option — start with one client, build at your pace
