Applied AI Consultant

Applied AI Consultant:
Build, Teach, Transform.

Location: London, New York, San Francisco

Travel: 25–50%, depending on client engagements

BTS is building a new kind of consulting capability: one where the consultant doesn’t just advise on AI - they build it, teach it, and help organizations get results. We’re looking for Applied AI Consultants who can sit with a client team, understand their real work, prototype an AI-powered solution in the room, and then help that team adopt it at scale.

This role bridges the gap between AI strategy (which too many firms offer) and AI engineering (which too many firms keep siloed). You’ll work across both BTS’s internal operations, where we are our own “Customer Zero” for AI adoption, and with some of the world’s largest enterprises to transform how their people work with AI every day.

This is not a “build a slide deck about AI” role. You’ll write code, run workshops, facilitate executive sessions, and ship production tools, sometimes all in the same week.

• Work directly with client teams and BTS colleagues to identify high-value AI use cases grounded in real workflows, not theoretical opportunity maps
• Rapidly prototype AI-powered solutions using LLM APIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini), agentic frameworks, and integration platforms (MCP, tool-use architectures, workflow automation)
• Take prototypes through to production-grade tools deployed inside enterprise environments, working alongside client IT and data teams
• Build and maintain internal BTS AI tools and workflows as part of our Customer Zero program, dogfooding everything we take to market
• Design and implement agentic systems, MCP server integrations, RAG pipelines, and custom tooling that connects AI models to enterprise data and systems

• Design and deliver hands‑on AI training sessions for technical audiences (engineers, data scientists, IT leaders) and commercial audiences (C‑suite, sales leaders, functional heads)
• Facilitate workshops that move from “understanding AI” to “building with AI” in a single session. Participants leave with working prototypes, not just frameworks
• Develop hands‑on workshops and simulations for AI adoption programs, including prompt engineering, agentic workflows, responsible AI use, and AI‑augmented decision‑making
• Deliver sessions to senior partners and consultants at major professional services firms (SI partners, Big Four) on behalf of BTS and our AI lab partners
• Create compelling demonstrations and interactive experiences that make abstract AI concepts tangible for non‑technical leaders

• Partner with client leadership to design AI adoption strategies that connect to business outcomes: revenue growth, cost transformation, workforce productivity, and capability building
• Conduct AI readiness diagnostics and workflow assessments to identify where AI can create the highest leverage
• Develop measurement frameworks to quantify the impact of AI adoption on P&L, productivity, and capability development
• Support business development by contributing to proposals, client pitches, and go‑to‑market strategy for BTS’s AI adoption services
• Stay at the frontier: evaluate emerging models, tools, and architectural patterns; contribute to BTS’s point of view on applied AI

This role lives at the intersection of building, teaching, and consulting. We know that's a rare combination, so we're not looking for someone who's already world‑class at all three. We're looking for someone who's strong in at least one and has a genuine aptitude for the others.

You’ve spent most of your career building things; AI‑powered applications, agentic systems, workflow automations, production tools. You're fluent in Python, comfortable with LLM APIs, and you've shipped software that real people use. What makes you different from a pure engineer is that you actually enjoy being in the room with clients. You can translate what you've built into language a CFO understands.
