Senior AI Management Consultant

ABOUT AI CENTRAL

AI Central (AIC) is NCS’s enterprise AI capability spine — responsible for building, productising, and deploying AI capabilities and reusable assets across regulated and mission-critical sectors.

We work at the intersection of AI, business transformation, and real-world client environments, turning opportunities into solutions that create measurable impact and can scale across sectors and markets.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an analytical and forward-thinking  (Senior) AI Management Consultant  to help clients identify where AI can create meaningful business value and translate those opportunities into tangible outcomes.

This is not a traditional advisory role. We are looking for  AI-native consultants who combine structured problem solving and business acumen with a builder mindset  — using AI as a force multiplier across research, analysis, solution design, and prototyping.

You will work closely with senior client leaders and multidisciplinary teams to move from  business problem → AI opportunity → solution → measurable impact.
