The posting
We are building an AI-native Technology Advisory capability that helps enterprise leaders make—and execute—better decisions at the intersection of strategy, technology, and AI.
The Technology Advisor operates as a trusted advisor to senior executives, shaping critical decisions on growth, cost, risk, and transformation. This role goes beyond traditional consulting—combining strategic judgment, technical depth, and AI-enabled delivery to drive measurable outcomes.
You will lead small, senior teams that deliver what legacy firms require much larger teams to achieve—using AI as a force multiplier.
What Makes This Role Different
- You will shape decisions, not just recommend solutions
- You will work in small, senior teams, not large pyramids
- You will use AI as a core part of how work gets done

Job responsibilities

- Define and align on measurable business outcomes (e.g., revenue growth, cost reduction, risk mitigation)
- Ensure the “last mile” is delivered—closing the gap between strategy and execution
- Serve as a primary advisor to CIOs, CTOs, and business leaders
- Frame problems in terms of decisions, tradeoffs, and economic value
- Challenge assumptions and bring independent, evidence-based perspectives

- Define value-led technology strategies linking business goals to capabilities and investments
- Advise on AI adoption, governance, and operating model transformation

- Client Leader (you)
- Engagement Architect
- AI Facilitator
- Orchestrate work across humans and AI agents
- Deliver with speed, precision, and minimal overhead
Professional Skills
- Identify and pursue expansion opportunities based on outcomes delivered

- Use AI to accelerate analysis, generate insights, and test scenarios
- Leverage AI for decision support, risk identification, and narrative development
