New Roles · AI Operators & Cross-Functional Roles

AI Consultant. The role, the market signal, and how to build it in your org.

The advisory AI expert brought in to scope, design, and de-risk AI adoption. Cross-functional by nature. The consulting firm's answer to the agentic shift, and an internal role inside large enterprises too.

In a workforce of people and AI agents, this role takes shape around the workflows it supports. Define its responsibilities and handoffs, then prepare people to perform that work.

How we build it in your org

From the market's version of this role to your version of it

1. Define workflow responsibilities
Start with the workflows this role supports: the outcomes, decisions, and handoffs it owns. Task Intelligence examines the tasks within that work and how people and agents can share responsibility.
2. Define your version
Your team composes the job description for your org's variant of the role, grounded in those responsibilities and the task evidence rather than a copied template.
3. Practise and assess readiness
Build on the domain and technical expertise your people already bring. Use relevant Simulations, GenAI Sandboxes, and Skill Validation Assessments to practise changed responsibilities and demonstrate capability. Revisit preparation when the work changes.

Start with the work, not the org chart.

Define what this role will own, then connect those responsibilities to practice and assessment.
