SENIOR AI CONSULTANT ATLANTA - SAN FRANCISCO ABOUT THE ROLE Most AEC firms know AI matters. Almost none of them know what to do about it. They have run a pilot, bought a tool, maybe sat through a workshop, and nothing about how the team actually works has changed. That is the gap KPR Transform closes, and the Senior AI Consultant is the person who closes it. You own client engagements end to end: you run the discovery, build the strategy, ship the workflow, and stay until it is actually how the team runs, not just what the deck said would happen. You will sit with a firm's leadership one day and its project teams the next, and you need to be credible with both. Commercial ownership sits with the Managing Director. You own the substance: the diagnosis, the roadmap, the build, and the outcome. WHAT YOU'LL DO Lead engagements, start to finish - Run AI diagnostics and technology assessments that surface how work actually happens, not how the org chart says it happens - Build transformation roadmaps and board-ready business cases that rank the bets worth making - Partner with technical teams to build the workflow, tool, or system the engagement calls for, and stay through adoption - Design and deliver executive workshops for AEC leadership teams - Turn every engagement into a documented outcome. If it is not measured, it did not happen - Travel to client sites as needed to work alongside client teams (up to 75%) GROW THE PRACTICE - Support the Managing Director on scoping and proposing new engagements, bringing the delivery credibility that closes the deal - Spot opportunities to move clients further into KPR Transform's services and bring them forward with a clear thesis - Write and speak publicly on AI in AEC: LinkedIn, Substack, whitepapers, and industry stages - Contribute what you learn in the field back into KPRCo's methodology and frameworks WHAT YOU'LL BRING - 8+ years of experience, with a track record leading client-facing strategy, advisory, or transformation engagements, not just contributing to them - A specific story about a workflow you changed. What it was, why you changed it, and what happened as a result - Daily, hands-on use of modern AI tools. You are building with this stuff, not reading about it - Executive presence. You can hold a room with AEC leadership and hold your own with the technical team building the solution - A bias to ship, and the independence to run an engagement without someone telling you what to do next - AEC experience. You have worked inside or directly with AEC firms, owners, developers, or owner's reps. You know how projects get delivered and where technology actually creates value BONUS POINTS - Time at a top-tier consulting firm or in a forward-deployed, embedded delivery model - Fluency with AEC technology: Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM/VDC, cost and scheduling systems - Prior experience building a practice or service line from an early stage - An existing public voice in AEC or AI COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS Base salary of $140,000 to $200,000, plus a performance bonus tied to engagement outcomes and standard equity participation. Benefits include health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and flexible PTO. WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS The AEC firms that figure out AI in the next few years will pull away from the ones that don't. KPR Transform has the brand, the methodology, and the industry relationships to lead that shift. This role is the person who makes it real, one engagement at a time.
