About the role

We are building an AI-native Technology Advisory capability that helps enterprise leaders make—and execute—better decisions at the intersection of strategy, technology, and AI.

The Technology Advisor operates as a trusted advisor to senior executives, shaping critical decisions on growth, cost, risk, and transformation. This role goes beyond traditional consulting—combining strategic judgment, technical depth, and AI-enabled delivery to drive measurable outcomes.

You will lead small, senior teams that deliver what legacy firms require much larger teams to achieve—using AI as a force multiplier.

What Makes This Role Different

You will shape decisions, not just recommend solutions

You will work in small, senior teams, not large pyramids

You will use AI as a core part of how work gets done

You will be accountable for outcomes, not outputs

Why Join

Opportunity to help build a new model of consulting

Work directly with senior leaders on high-impact problems

Operate at the intersection of AI, technology, and business transformation

Be part of a team that values judgment, clarity, and execution

What Success Looks Like

Clients rely on you for critical decisions, not just project delivery

Engagements result in measurable business impact (not slideware)

You build repeatable advisory patterns and assets used across clients

You help establish the firm as a credible, differentiated advisory partner

Job responsibilities

Own end-to-end impact for client engagements (not just recommendations)

Define and align on measurable business outcomes (e.g., revenue growth, cost reduction, risk mitigation)

Ensure the “last mile” is delivered—closing the gap between strategy and execution

Serve as a primary advisor to CIOs, CTOs, and business leaders

Frame problems in terms of decisions, tradeoffs, and economic value

Challenge assumptions and bring independent, evidence-based perspectives

Navigate complex stakeholder environments to drive alignment and action

Technical Skills

Define value-led technology strategies linking business goals to capabilities and investments

Advise on AI adoption, governance, and operating model transformation

Assess current-state platforms, data, and architecture—and define future-state roadmaps

Ensure strategies are grounded in execution reality, not theory

Work within a 3-role model:

Client Leader (you)

Engagement Architect

AI Facilitator

Orchestrate work across humans and AI agents

Deliver with speed, precision, and minimal overhead

Professional Skills

Identify and pursue expansion opportunities based on outcomes delivered

Build long-term client relationships grounded in trust and results

Contribute to offer development, thought leadership, and market positioning

Use AI to accelerate analysis, generate insights, and test scenarios

Leverage AI for decision support, risk identification, and narrative development

Continuously improve how work is done through AI-enabled workflows

15+ years in technology, consulting, or product leadership

Background as:

Senior consultant (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, Accenture) with delivery credibility, or

Technology/operator leader (CTO, Head of Engineering, Product Leader)

Proven experience leading complex transformations or platform initiatives
