Senior Consultant, AI

Melbourne or Sydney. Newly created role in a rapidly-expanding AI practice.

About the role

Senior, AI Client Solutions / Sydney or Melbourne

This role sits within a 1,300+ person global data and AI organisation with over 20 years of analytical heritage. The AI practice has grown to 40–50 people in under two years and continues to scale quickly as enterprise demand accelerates.

Current engagements span a leading Australian retailer, a Big Four bank, four major law firms, mining clients, energy retailers and global recruitment businesses. The team operates fully onshore and is increasingly focused on large-scale AI use case delivery.

The Opportunity

As a Senior, you will own defined workstreams within AI engagements.

You will:
  • Structure complex business problems into executable plans
  • Support sprint-based delivery cycles
  • Contribute to MVP builds delivered in 3–4 week windows
  • Present insights and progress to clients
  • Oversee junior contributors
  • Support Leads in maintaining delivery momentum
Work spans AI strategy, enablement and increasingly production-grade AI system deployment.

The Environment

The broader business includes:
  • 1,300+ employees
  • 13 international locations
  • Two decades of analytics and actuarial heritage
  • Long-term enterprise client partnerships
The AI vertical itself is still in build-and-scale mode, creating strong exposure to high-growth, high-impact work within an established organisation.

What We’re Looking For

You will likely bring:
  • Experience in consulting, AI, data or digital delivery
  • Strong analytical and structured thinking ability
  • Genuine engagement with AI and its commercial application
  • Ability to work across business and technical stakeholders
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving, evolving environments

Why This Role
  • Exposure to enterprise-scale AI deployment
  • Clear progression into delivery leadership
  • High technical bar with strong analytical heritage
  • Rapidly expanding AI practice within an established global firm
Location: Sydney preferred, Melbourne considered
Compensation: $140-190k inclusive supper, plus 10% bonus.
