The Opportunity

Principal AI Consulting Lead

This is a builder role. You'll shape the playbook others will follow.

What You'll Lead

  • Boardroom to shop-floor:

    Diagnose functions, pressure-test use cases, design phase-wise roadmaps, and get executive commitment.
  • Program design & commercials:

    Craft SOWs, price for margin, define KPIs/OKRs, and set up governance (steerco, workstreams, cadence).
  • Agentic transformation:

    With the AI Architect, translate business workflows into

    agentic AI architectures

    (tool use, retrieval/RAG, orchestration, guardrails, evals).
  • Lighthouse delivery:

    Land 12

    shippable pilots per client

    (68 weeks each) and scale into a portfolio of use cases.
  • L&D at scale:

    Align

    PromptStart/Pro/Masters/OS

    with each client's roadmap; convert training into adoption and measurable productivity.
  • Account growth:

    Multi-thread relationships, expand scope across functions/geos, own revenue & margin per account.
  • IP & standards:

    Co-create reference architectures, SOW templates, ROI calculators, change playbooks, and evaluation frameworks.

Responsibilities (day-to-day)

  • Run discovery with business & IT, map processes, and identify high-ROI interventions.
  • Prioritise a

    value ladder

    : quick wins ? platformization ? operating model changes.
  • Write crisp SOWs: problem, value hypothesis, deliverables, owner ladder, risks, pricing, acceptance criteria.
  • Co-own technical feasibility reviews with the Architect (data, identity, tools, policies, privacy).
  • Set up

    observability & evals

    for every pilot; publish weekly value reports to execs.
  • Partner with L&D to ensure

    post-training activation

    (playbooks, prompt libraries, sandboxes).
  • Manage commercials: revenue, GM, burn vs plan, change orders.
  • Coach client teams; build internal BOTS.AI consulting muscle.

You'll Thrive Here If You

  • Have

    812+ years

    in management/tech consulting (MBB, Big 4, high-performing boutique) or operator-led transformation; you've led

    multi-stream programs

    to outcome.
  • Are

    AI-fluent

    (not academic): understand LLMs, agent patterns (ReAct/tool use), RAG, evals, observability, data/privacy, and platform trade-offs.
  • Can price, scope, and defend margins, while keeping exec sponsors excited.
  • Are a

    systems thinker

    with a bias to ship; you turn ambiguity into a 6-week plan.
  • Communicate with

    board-level clarity

    and

    shop-floor pragmatism

    .

Nice to have:

How We'll Measure Success

  • Commercials:

    Win rate, rev/GM per account, extension/expansion velocity.
  • Delivery:

    On-time pilots, evaluation scores (task success, cost/tx, latency), adoption curves.
  • Change:

    # of workflows re-wired, % teams activated post-L&D, stakeholder NPS.
  • IP:

    Reusable architectures, templates adopted across clients.

Why Join BOTS.AI

  • Build the category:

    India's first consulting firm truly embedding agentic AI in legacy orgs.
  • Write the playbook:

    Your standards will become the firm's operating system.
  • See impact fast:

    We ship pilots in weeks, not quarters, and scale them.
  • Work that compounds:

    Every architecture becomes reusable IP; every win unlocks the next account.
