Senior, AI & Data Consulting

The Role

Artefact is looking for a Senior AI & Data Consultant: an analytical, client-facing consultant who is also a hands-on builder with AI. You will perform advanced analytics, interface directly with clients, and keep project efforts aligned and on track — and you will do it AI-natively. Our senior consultants use AI tools to analyze faster, write better, and prototype what they recommend. When the team needs a quick proof of concept, you're the one who opens Claude Code or Gemini CLI and builds it. We need someone who is not afraid of the terminal.

What You'll Do

• Define client needs through interviews with client teams and technology partners.
• Perform advanced data analysis and research on high-impact, strategic client problems.
• Help build, formulate, and present strategic data and AI recommendations.
• Keep internal project efforts aligned and on track, and interface with clients with confidence and care.
• Use AI tools daily across your work: analysis, synthesis, writing, and quality checking — with the judgment to verify outputs.
• Prototype ideas with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex): a working demo, an automated analysis, a small internal tool.
• Apply core GenAI concepts — prompting, RAG, agents, context engineering — well enough to explain them to clients and stress-test vendor claims.
• Develop specialization in at least one AI platform ecosystem: Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI.
• Present insights to clients in clear, compelling language — to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Contribute to new business proposals and to Artefact-published content (research, articles, business cases).
• Oversee and mentor entry-level consultants and interns.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of full-time work experience, ideally in consulting, data/analytics, marketing, advertising, finance, or tech.
• Strong analytical skills and experience presenting data-driven recommendations to clients.
• Hands-on AI literacy: regular use of AI tools for real work, and demonstrated willingness to build — prototypes, automations, analyses — with AI assistance.
• Comfort with the terminal, and with tools like Claude Code or Gemini CLI (or clear evidence you'll get there fast).
• Working knowledge of SQL and/or Python for data analysis; advanced Excel and PowerPoint/Google Workspace.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, client-facing and intercultural.
• A teaching orientation: willingness to mentor junior team members.
• Undergraduate degree, preferably in business, technology, or another field related to our work.

Preferred Experience

• Strategy consulting and/or digital marketing knowledge.
• Familiarity with GenAI concepts: RAG, agents, prompting, context engineering.
• Exposure to a major AI or cloud platform (Google, Anthropic, OpenAI; GCP, Azure, AWS).
• Experience contributing to proposals or thought leadership.
