AI Process Consultant

Nucleus • Vancouver, BC

5d • CA$200,000 - CA$240,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Nucleus is looking for an AI Process Consultant (APC). The APC will embed directly inside client businesses, uncovering the operational friction that holds them back, designing the workflows that will replace it, and partnering with AI Engineers to ship solutions that change how these organizations actually run. You won't be writing slide decks that get filed away; you'll be on-site at small and mid-size businesses interviewing operators, mapping processes, building the business case, and owning client outcomes from first conversation through post-deployment adoption. You care about the outcome, not the deck.

This is a hands-on, client-facing strategy role built for someone who is as comfortable diagramming a workflow with C-Suite leaders as they are co-piloting a build session with engineers. This role may operate remotely from within Canada, with a strong preference for a candidate who is able to meet face-to-face with clients in either Vancouver or Toronto.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Operations, Economics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2+ years of professional experience in management consulting, deployment strategy, technical program management, operations, or a similar client-facing strategic role.
• Demonstrated track record of driving complex projects to measurable outcomes in client or stakeholder-facing environments.
• Strong analytical foundation: comfortable with spreadsheets, ROI modeling, basic SQL, and quantitative reasoning. Python literacy is a plus but not required.
• Working knowledge of modern AI capabilities: You know what LLMs, agents, and RAG systems can and can't do, and the judgment to scope realistic AI solutions vs. AI theater.
• Ability to work independently in ambiguous, fast-moving client environments.
• Exceptional communication skills: You can run a discovery interview with a warehouse foreman and an executive readout with a CEO on the same day.
• Problem-solver who gets energy from sitting across the desk from a real operator and figuring out where the friction actually is.
• Willingness to travel regularly to client sites throughout Metro Vancouver or Toronto.

Nice To Haves

• Prior consulting experience or a deployment-strategy/forward-deployed role at a software company.
• Experience leading process re-engineering, workflow automation, or digital transformation engagements end-to-end.
• Familiarity with workflow automation platforms (Zapier, Make, n8n) or major SaaS systems (CRMs, ERPs, ticketing, document management) at the level of "I can spec an integration without help."
• Experience working with SMB clients across industries such as professional services, healthcare, logistics, or retail.

Responsibilities

• Embed directly with clients to run discovery, interviewing operators across roles, observing live workflows, and mapping current-state processes that surface high-ROI opportunities for AI and automation.
• Build the business case for each engagement: quantify the cost of the status quo, model expected ROI and prioritize a sequenced roadmap of automation opportunities the client can act on.
• Design future-state workflows in detail: process diagrams, decision logic, exception handling, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and integration touchpoints, all to a level of specificity engineering can build against.
• Partner with an AI Engineer throughout the build, translating client requirements into technical specs, validating outputs against business intent, and brokering trade-offs (quality vs. speed vs. cost vs. risk) in plain language.
• Lead change management on the client side: stakeholder alignment, communication plans, training rollout, and adoption tracking.
• Own the client relationship end-to-end: scope, expectations, status updates, escalations, and executive readouts. Serve as the single point of accountability for client outcomes.
• Run post-deployment business reviews to measure realized impact, surface follow-on opportunities, and build the case for portfolio expansion.
• Contribute internally by codifying reusable discovery frameworks, ROI models, workflow templates, and industry playbooks that scale across the practice.
