This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Brazil.
• Map out current workflows from start to finish to identify root causes of operational issues, including handoff failures, governance deficiencies, and tool mismatches.
• Redesign target operations to establish more efficient workflows, clearer decision-making rights, and effective collaboration between humans and agents to enhance throughput using AI.
• Create detailed operating models that encompass organizational structure, roles, governance, cross-functional interaction frameworks, and value realization strategies.
• Set performance baselines and develop measurement frameworks to continuously monitor improvements throughout the engagement.
• Identify value gaps in stalled projects, analyzing instances where technology deployment has exceeded business adoption to realign the path to ROI.
• Develop functional, AI-driven prototypes by directly leveraging LLM APIs, platform-native features, and low-code/no-code environments.
• Use working demos and prototypes as primary tools for aligning stakeholders within the client’s actual processes.
• Assess where AI effectively enhances workflow and where it may serve as a distraction, providing clients with realistic, grounded expectations.
• Assist in the implementation of new tools and workflows, ensuring that adoption is rooted in process design and change management practices.
• Create enablement materials that ensure new technology implementations effectively connect with and support the intended operating model.
• Aid in complex engagement scoping and perform diagnostic assessments for value capture, implementation readiness, and adoption strategies.
• Contribute reusable frameworks and tools that enhance practice qualification and scoping continuously.
• 5 to 10 years of experience in management consulting or similar roles within enterprise technology, SaaS, or professional services.
• Proven expertise in at least two of the following areas: organizational design, operating model transformation, change management, technology enablement, process engineering, or go-to-market execution.
• A demonstrated ability to construct structured, evidence-based arguments to effectively influence and align senior stakeholders.
• Hands-on experience in developing functional AI-driven workflows, automations, and prototypes, with a focus on delivering working solutions rather than merely designing them.
• Capability to quickly scope and create a working proof of concept within the parameters of a client engagement to address skeptical stakeholders.
• Comfort and capability to work independently without a dedicated engineering team, knowing when to build solutions alone and when to involve additional resources.
• Strong diagnostic mindset with a commitment to understanding root causes and broken processes before proposing solutions.
• Deep accountability for actual outcomes and measurable impacts, rather than just static deliverables.
• Preference for early proof, favoring the development of working prototypes over the production of standard roadmaps.
• Ability to operate effectively in a forward-deployed role, integrating closely with client engineers, product leads, and operators.
• Experience in large-scale organizational assessments, process redesigns, or extensive technology rollouts is highly preferred.
• 100% Remote Work: Enjoy the flexibility to work from wherever you feel most productive. All you need is a laptop and a reliable internet connection.
• Highly Competitive USD Pay: Receive an attractive, market-leading salary in USD that surpasses typical market offerings.
• Paid Time Off: We prioritize your well-being. Our paid time off policies ensure that you have the opportunity to relax and recharge when necessary.
• Work with Autonomy: Experience the freedom to manage your own time as long as the work is completed. Focus on delivering results, not just clocking hours.
• Work with Top American Companies: Enhance your skills by participating in innovative, high-impact projects with industry-leading U.S. companies.
