Requirements

• 3 to 5 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, or a comparable role with strong analytical foundations
• Proven ability to move from insight to action: you don't just identify what's wrong, you figure out how to fix it and see it through
• Active, working familiarity with AI tools and a genuine interest in pushing the boundaries of what they can do in a business context
• Exceptional communicator: you can translate complex analysis into clear recommendations for a senior audience
• High comfort with ambiguity. You define your own structure and hold yourself accountable to outcomes, not just activity
• Collaborative and low-ego. Equally at home in a working session with an ops team as in a leadership review

Responsibilities

• Use AI to monitor performance across channels, products, and customer segments surfacing opportunities and anomalies before they're obvious.
• Build analytical models that separate signal from noise and give you genuine confidence in what's driving results (and where to accelerate!)
• Translate data into a prioritized opportunity map knowing which levers move the P&L and which are distraction.
• Construct tight business cases: financial models, scenario analyses, and board-ready materials, leveraging AI to compress the time it takes to get there without sacrificing quality.
• Pressure-test your own recommendations before they reach the room.
• Direct a fleet of AI agents, assigning work, setting standards, reviewing outputs, holding the operation accountable to results.
• Build the workflows and automated systems that turn a good idea into a running machine, repeatable, scalable, and durable beyond any single person.
• Track outcomes with discipline and report back to senior leadership with clarity: what worked, what didn't, what we do differently next time.
• Feed performance learnings back into the analytical models so the next round of strategy is sharper than the last.
