Forward-Deployed Consultant

We are looking for Forward-Deployed Consultants to lead enterprise AI engagements from kickoff to adoption. You will own the customer relationship, define the use-case backlog, and partner with a Forward-Deployed Engineer to take ideas all the way to production — and into daily use by the customer's business teams.

This is a hybrid of senior solutions consulting and AI product management. It is not a pure pre-sales role and not a delivery PM role — you are accountable for whether the AI actually changes how the customer works.

You will:

• be the first batch of people defining what an AI-native consulting practice looks like in the region
• own the customer relationship from the inside — running discovery, scoping, build oversight, and adoption
• work in a remote and hybrid-friendly model — we do not require you to sit on customer site full-time. You are accountable for proactive customer touchpoints, structured checkpoints, and independent visibility on engagement health
• be paired with a Forward-Deployed Engineer on every engagement — never deployed alone
• be exposed to end-to-end transformation projects across banking, insurance, healthcare, construction, and public services
• be coached by founders, former IBM Technology Thought Leaders, and a senior FDC team

‍

• Owning the customer relationship from project kickoff through adoption — partnering closely with the Enterprise Sales team that lands the account
• Running discovery workshops: mapping the customer's processes, pain points, data realities, and stakeholders
• Defining and prioritising the AI use-case backlog with the customer's business owners; framing problems in measurable business outcomes
• Selecting the right Reference Solutions from our internal library as starting points — and identifying when a custom build is needed
• Translating requirements with the Forward-Deployed Engineer; keeping scope, timeline, and stakeholder expectations aligned
• Driving adoption: training, change management, success dashboards, executive readouts
• Running your own proactive engagement cadence — weekly checkpoints, written status, surfacing risks before they become escalations
• Capturing learnings, gaps, and recurring patterns; feeding them back to the Solution Architect team
• Briefing the Sales team for renewal and expansion — you are the trusted voice of the customer inside FabriXAI

‍

• Background in senior solutions consulting, management consulting, AI / digital transformation, or enterprise customer success — Big-4, Palantir, IBM, McKinsey Digital, Accenture, BCG X or comparable backgrounds welcomed
• Strong interest in and basic literacy across at least one of the following:
  • AI / LLM applications — what RAG, agents, evals, and guardrails mean in practice
  • Enterprise system architecture — ability to read an integration diagram and understand the trade-offs
  • Industry workflows in banking, insurance, healthcare, construction, or public services
• Comfortable working with engineers — you do not need to write code, but you are not afraid of it and can sketch a workflow in pseudo-code on a whiteboard
• Strong executive presence — you can earn the trust of a VP or C-suite stakeholder in the first 30 minutes and run a workshop the same afternoon
• Excellent written communication — your discovery memos, adoption plans, and executive readouts are the artefacts the customer remembers us by
• Proactive, low-supervision operator — you run your own checkpoints, raise risks early, and keep stakeholders informed without being chased
• Bias to adopted outcomes over deliverables shipped — you measure success by what the customer actually uses 90 days later
• Strong logical thinking, data sensitivity, and a "can-do" attitude under enterprise-grade constraints
• Strong sense of humor and a genuine team player — we win and lose engagements together

This role is hired at multiple seniority levels — we calibrate the title, scope, and compensation to your experience and demonstrated impact. Stronger candidates land at Senior or Principal; high-potential early-career applicants enter at Associate with a structured coaching path. All levels are full members of the engagement team — Associates are not "assistants".

• 5-day work week with flexible working hours
• Remote- and hybrid-friendly culture — no requirement to sit on customer site full-time, with structured proactive cadence to keep engagements healthy
• Flat company structure and working directly with founders and core members in a small senior team
• Pairing rotation: every deployment is staffed FDC + FDE — you always have a technical partner in the room
• Direct exposure to senior enterprise stakeholders from day one
• On-the-job training and coaching by certified leaders in Technology Consulting and Enterprise AI
