Senior AI Consultant

What You'll Do8

• Run discovery sessions with client teams to map business problems, AI priorities, and technical constraints.
• Turn those findings into a defined project scope, target architecture, and implementation plan.
• Recommend the models, tooling, and delivery approach that fit each engagement.
• Lead consulting projects from initial strategy through build, launch, and production handoff.
• Identify where AI can slot into existing products, workflows, and operations.
• Partner with other experts when a project spans several technical disciplines.
• Share what you learn about emerging AI technology, delivery practices, and client demand.
• Weigh in on how the network screens expertise and matches consultants to client work.

Requirements7

• A long record of delivering AI projects for companies or consulting clients.
• Evidence you have carried solutions past the prototype stage and into production.
• Comfort working with executives, stakeholders, and engineering teams in the same week.
• Ability to turn a vague business need into a scoped plan with a clear path to delivery.
• Hands-on technical skill alongside the strategic view.
• Consulting and communication skills that make complex technical tradeoffs clear to non-technical audiences.
• Appetite for independent work while staying connected to Braintrust and fellow experts on shared engagements.

Who Should Apply

Independent AI consultants who have shipped production systems and want a steady flow of client work without chasing it. Depth in generative AI, agentic workflows, RAG, or MLOps matters more than surface coverage of every specialty area.
