About The Position

South African executives want AI. Most don't know where to start. That's your opening. We are assisting our client who is building its AI Advisory practice from the ground up, and we need an exceptional senior leader to own it. This is not a corporate role with a warm pipeline and an established brand behind you. It's a rare opportunity to build something meaningful — and be rewarded for it.

Requirements

  • 12+ years in management consulting, technology advisory, or senior tech leadership
  • Proven track record presenting and selling to C-suite and board level
  • Credible understanding of AI strategy, data, and governance — without being a technologist
  • The confidence to recommend a competitor's product when it's right for the client
  • An existing executive network in the South African market

Nice To Haves

  • Consulting company background preferred
  • Ex-CIO/CTO with advisory experience equally welcome

Responsibilities

  • Be the trusted AI advisor to CFOs, CEOs, CIOs, and boards.
  • Lead discovery, shape strategy, develop high-value use cases, and close flagship engagements.
  • Focus on the boardroom, client relationships, and the commercial engine.

Benefits

  • Autonomy to define the offering, build the brand, and lead a growing practice.
  • Opportunity to build and scale a practice.
