About The Position

The AI Strategist is a client-facing consultancy role within the Analytics Centre of Excellence (CoE), deployed directly onto JLL accounts to help clients understand, prioritise and realise the value of AI. The AI Strategist acts as a trusted advisor to account leadership and client stakeholders — assessing current data and analytics maturity, identifying high-value AI and automation opportunities, and defining a practical roadmap for AI adoption that is grounded in the client’s operational reality.

They draw on a strong foundation in BI tooling and Databricks to evaluate what is possible, while partnering with CoE delivery teams — including AI Specialist Developers — to translate strategy into delivered outcomes.
