Applied AI Consultant: Build, Teach, Transform.
Location: London, New York, San Francisco
Travel: 25–50%, depending on client engagements
The Opportunity
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.
You’ll write code, run workshops, facilitate executive sessions, and ship production tools, sometimes all in the same week.
What You’ll Do
Build: Prototype to Production
- 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
Teach: Facilitate and Enable
- 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
Transform: Consult and Scale
- 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
What We’re Looking For
In Practice, That Means We’re Interested In Two Profiles
The Builder Who Can Consult
- Most of your career spent building things: AI‑powered applications, agentic systems, workflow automations, production tools
- Fluent in Python, comfortable with LLM APIs, and you’ve shipped software that real people use
- You enjoy being in the room with clients, translating technical work into language a CFO understands, and being curious about business problems
- You’ve led workshops, presented to stakeholders, or trained colleagues, and you enjoyed it
The Consultant Who Can Build
- Most of your career in consulting, professional services, or client‑facing technology roles
- Understands how large enterprises buy, adopt, and resist change
- Can design a workshop, facilitate a room of senior leaders, and write a compelling proposal
- Has built prototypes, written code, and genuinely understands how AI systems work
- You move fast and learn faster. The AI landscape shifts weekly and you keep up because you’re genuinely interested.
- You think in workflows, not features. You design for how people actually work.
- You’re comfortable with ambiguity. You’ll help define the role as it evolves.
- You have strong opinions, loosely held, and you’ll change your mind when evidence dictates.
A Week in the Life
- Monday: Facilitate a half‑day AI adoption workshop for 30 senior leaders at a Fortune 500 energy company. Participants leave with three working prototypes for their highest‑priority workflows.
- Tuesday–Wednesday: Build and deploy an MCP‑integrated agentic tool for a client’s HR team that automates a three‑hour weekly reporting process down to ten minutes.
- Thursday: Co‑deliver a training session for 50 Big 4 Partners on how to position and sell AI adoption to their clients, featuring live demos for enterprise use cases.
- Friday: Internal Customer Zero sprint: improve BTS’s own Salesforce‑to‑Slack AI workflows, write a LinkedIn post on a pattern you’ve noticed across client engagements, and contribute to a proposal for a new client pursuit.
Compensation and Benefits
Competitive salary commensurate with experience and level, plus performance‑based bonus. BTS offers a comprehensive benefits package including private healthcare, pension contributions, flexible working arrangements, and generous professional development investment.
