The Opportunity

Robosoft is building an AI-first organisation, and our clients in North America are asking a harder question than they were two years ago. They no longer want a proof of concept; they want to know which AI investments will pay back, in what order, and how their organisation needs to change to absorb them. As AI Lead Consultant you are the person who answers that question in the room. You sit where pre-sales consulting, engagement leadership and AI capability building meet, and you are accountable for turning executive ambition into a roadmap our delivery teams can actually build.

Day to day you will run discovery workshops with client leadership, size and prioritise AI use cases, and build the business cases and ROI models that get programmes funded. You will partner with Sales and practice leadership to shape proposals, pitches and RFP responses, then stay with the engagement as the onsite consulting lead so that what was sold is what gets delivered. Between engagements you will sharpen our own toolkit - the frameworks, accelerators and playbooks that let the next team start further along - and you will mentor consultants and engineers growing into client-facing AI work.

This role suits someone who is equally comfortable in a CDO or CTO conversation and in a solution review with engineers, and who would rather say what they would not do than oversell. You will have real latitude to shape how Robosoft's AI practice goes to market in the US, backed by two decades of Design-led Engineering delivery for globally recognised brands. If you want your consulting work to end in shipped product rather than a slide deck, this is the seat.

What You Will Do

Pre-Sales and Solution Consulting

  • Partner with Sales and practice leadership to shape AI proposals, pitches and solution narratives for prospective and existing clients.
  • Run discovery and ideation workshops with client stakeholders to surface goals, pain points, data readiness and organisational constraints.
  • Own the AI solution story in RFP responses and bid defences, including scope, delivery approach, commercial shape and risk.
  • Qualify opportunities honestly - recommend against use cases where the data, readiness or value case does not hold up.

Business Case and Roadmap Definition

  • Build ROI models and business cases that quantify value, cost and payback period for each candidate use case.
  • Sequence AI adoption roadmaps across quick wins, platform foundations and transformational bets.
  • Define success measures with the client before build starts, so value realisation is measurable rather than anecdotal.

Engagement Leadership

  • Act as the onsite engagement lead for AI consulting and implementation programmes, owning client confidence end to end.
  • Hold the bridge between client and delivery - translate business intent into technical direction, and technical constraint into business language.
  • Govern scope, risk and stakeholder alignment across the engagement, escalating early rather than late.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Capability and Practice Building

  • Develop and refine proprietary AI frameworks, methodologies, accelerators and reusable toolkits.
  • Mentor consultants and engineers moving into client-facing AI work, and run internal enablement sessions.
  • Publish thought leadership - white papers, points of view and case studies - and represent Robosoft at client and industry forums.
  • Track emerging AI technologies and regulation, and fold the implications into our frameworks and client advice.

Who You Are

  • Credible with executives: You hold your own in a CDO, CTO or CMO conversation, and you are asked back because you were useful rather than impressive.
  • Commercially honest: You quantify value, and you say plainly when a use case will not return its cost, even when it shrinks the deal.
  • Technically grounded: You can challenge an architecture choice or a model selection without needing an engineer in the room to validate you.
  • A builder of reusable assets: You finish an engagement and leave behind a framework, template or playbook the next team can use.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity: You can walk into an unstructured client problem, frame it within a week, and get stakeholders to agree on the frame.

Leadership Expectations

  • Define and uphold consulting standards for AI engagements - discovery approach, deliverable quality and value-case rigour.
  • Mentor 2 to 5 consultants or engineers, reviewing their client deliverables and coaching their stakeholder handling.
  • Influence practice-level go-to-market decisions in the US - which offers we lead with, and which segments we pursue.
  • Represent the AI practice externally, contributing to hiring, partner conversations and industry presence.

What You Bring

Required Experience

  • 12 to 15 years in consulting, digital transformation, or AI and analytics programmes.
  • Proven pre-sales or solution consulting experience with executive-level stakeholders, including owning proposals and RFP responses.
  • Demonstrated engagement or programme leadership on AI or analytics initiatives, ideally onsite with the client.
  • Track record of building business cases and ROI models that secured programme funding.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, Data Science, Engineering, Business or a related discipline.

Additional Skills

  • Executive communication and storytelling - you can compress a complex programme into three slides and defend it under questioning.
  • Stakeholder management across levels, from C-suite sponsors to the engineering leads who inherit the work.
  • Workshop facilitation with mixed business and technical groups.
  • Written fluency - proposals, points of view and case studies that read as authored, not assembled.
