AI Consultant

Embedded Operator Role in Healthcare AI

You are an embedded operator who bridges frontier AI methodology and production-grade operational reality inside healthcare organizations. Unlike traditional advisory work, you do not stop at slideware and recommendations. You run our four-week AI Jumpstart Discovery cycle end to end — kickoff, department-by-department stakeholder interviews, executive prioritization workshop, final readout — and you ship a prioritized opportunity portfolio, current-state and future-state process models, ROI math, and a 90-day execution plan that the client's CEO, COO, CFO, CMO, or CMIO will fund and act on.

You are the high-agency owner of the engagement. The methodology is documented, the AI deliverable pipeline is built, and the back-office team that operates it is in place. What we need is the senior practitioner who can sit in the room with healthcare executives, earn their trust, and convert ambiguous operational pain into a concrete, fundable roadmap. You can expect to travel up to 30% of the time for this position.

This position covers a wide spectrum, from contractors writing agentic code inside a customer's runtime to AI-focused consultants running discovery and integration engagements. PTM sits firmly on the consultant-architect end of that spectrum, and we are explicit about it.

You will: embed inside client operations for the duration of a Discovery engagement, lead structured interviews, facilitate workshops, direct PTM's four-agent transcript-to-roadmap pipeline, quality-assure every deliverable that goes to the client, and own the relationship from kickoff through Statement of Work for the implementation phase.

You will not: write production software that ships inside the client's runtime. We have a Fusion Development practice that does that. Discovery is upstream of build, and you are the senior practitioner on the Discovery side.

If you came into the FDE category hoping to write code at a customer's desk, this is not that job. If you came into it because you want to be the person who turns boardroom anxiety about AI into a concrete, ROI-defensible roadmap inside a real healthcare operation — and you want to do it at a firm with documented methodology, working AI tooling, and an implementation team standing behind the scope you write — this is exactly the job.

• Run the 30-day AI Jumpstart Discovery cycle: kickoff, eight to fifteen department-level event-storming interviews, AI-assisted analysis, executive prioritization workshop, and final readout.
• Apply our pain-first discovery method. You surface drudgery, manual handoffs, bottlenecks, and broken approvals before any tool conversation. The "tool-first" trap is the failure mode we exist to prevent.
• Facilitate executive prioritization workshops that resolve a portfolio of 15 to 30 candidates into a ranked Top 5: three quick wins (high value, low risk) and two strategic bets (high value, high complexity), each defensible with math.
• Co-design current-state and future-state BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) maps with department owners, applying our Digital Assembly Line model to identify where AI, document understanding, and programmatic automation replace manual toil.
• Translate findings into ROI projections the CFO will accept — labor reallocation, cycle-time reduction, denial-rate movement, throughput per FTE, audit exposure, prior-auth turnaround, whatever the workflow demands.
• Direct the four-agent deliverable pipeline that converts transcripts into client-ready artifacts (opportunity extraction → current/future BPMN → department reports → org-wide consolidation). You do not operate it line by line — that is what the Product Analyst on your engagement does — but you set quality, own QA against transcripts, and sign off before anything reaches the client.
• Address the blockers that prevent AI from reaching enterprise-grade maturity in real operations: data readiness, integration complexity, change-management friction, HIPAA and PHI boundaries, governance constructs the client cannot articulate yet.
• Act as the feedback loop into PTM's Fusion…
