AI Solutions Analyst

Raftelis

23h • $89,000 - $125,000

About The Position

The AI Solutions Analyst is a newly defined role at the intersection of technology and business operations. As AI becomes embedded in how we work across Raftelis, this role exists to reduce friction in business processes, build practical AI-powered tools and agents, and help staff make confident, effective use of AI in their daily work. The AI Solutions Analyst will design, develop, test, and deploy AI workflows and agent instructions across business functions from business development and proposal writing to finance, operations, and client delivery. They will serve all staff and float across practice areas, working wherever the next problem needs solving. Success here is measured by adoption, not output. The workflows and agents built in this role should be used, not shelved. Your teammates should be able to say that your instructions helped them and worked as intended. You will identify bugs and gaps proactively, before they become someone else's problem. Over time, the measure of impact is a firm where the staff is more confident and capable with AI than when you arrived, and where other teams actively seek you out as a trusted resource.

Requirements

• Conceptual fluency over technical depth. You do not need to be a software engineer. You do need to understand what AI can and cannot do. You do need to grasp the nature of agentic workflows, and appreciate the difference between deterministic and non-deterministic AI systems and what that means for how you write instructions and configure agents.
• A process mindset. Before you build anything, you know how to learn a process. You ask the right questions, listen well, and can translate a messy human workflow into a structured, testable AI solution. This is not unlike the discovery methodology our organizational assessment consultants use.
• Patience and persistence. It will not work the first time. The right candidate knows that, embraces it, and iterates until it does.
• Curiosity and a drive for continuous improvement. AI is moving fast. You stay current, experiment freely, and bring new ideas to the team.
• A genuine commitment to making other people's jobs easier. This role is in service of staff. Your measure of success is whether the people you built something for find it useful.
• Alignment with our mission. We work with local governments and utilities because we believe in improving the everyday lives of the communities they serve. You share that conviction.
• Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in someone who will be additive to our growing AI team and who is not afraid to be the smartest person in the room on this topic. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
