About The Position

Blue Orange Digital partners with private equity firms to bring AI to their portfolio companies, from initial assessment through production rollout. We are scaling that practice and need a Senior AI Transformation Consultant to lead client engagements end to end. You will own the engagement lifecycle: discovery and readiness assessments, AI maturity scoring across business and product dimensions, roadmap design, ROI modeling, and executive communication. You will lead delivery pods built from BOD architects, engineers, and SMEs, working alongside our Principal AI Solutions Architect and Lead Databricks Architect. Your audience ranges from PE operating partners and CFOs to portfolio company CEOs, CTOs, and founders.
