AI Strategist 2026- US, COL

Job description

AI Strategist Aimpoint Digital is a premier AI & Data consulting firm with a mission to drive business value for clients through expertise in AI, data strategy and analytics. We partner with organizations to solve complex business problems through innovative, scalable solutions. This role sits within our Strategy practice and is focused on helping clients identify where AI can create meaningful business value and build practical strategies to realize that value across the organization. What You Will Do As an AI Strategist, you will act as a trusted advisor to clients, partnering with business and technology leaders to identify, prioritize, and operationalize high-value AI opportunities. You will work across functions to understand how work gets done today, conduct value stream and business process mapping, identify areas of inefficiency or opportunity, and determine where AI can improve productivity, decision making, customer experience, or business performance. A key part of this role is helping clients move beyond broad AI adoption toward a clear understanding of where AI can have the greatest impact within their organization. You will evaluate both productivity-focused opportunities and more significant opportunities to redesign workflows, improve processes, or create new capabilities. You will translate these opportunities into comprehensive AI strategies, prioritized use case portfolios, business cases, and implementation roadmaps. You will also help clients evaluate AI tools and platforms, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and other leading providers, and determine which technologies are best suited for specific business needs. You will own the delivery of client engagements end-to-end and contribute to the continued development of our AI Strategy offerings. This includes supporting business development, shaping proposals, developing reusable methodologies and frameworks, mentoring team members, and contributing to the growth of the Strategy practice. Who We Are Looking For We are seeking a client-facing AI strategist who combines strong business acumen, structured problem solving, and practical experience applying modern AI tools to business problems. You are comfortable working in complex organizations where opportunities are not clearly defined. You can engage stakeholders across functions, understand how work and value flow through an organization, and identify where AI can deliver measurable improvements. You are able to distinguish between use cases that provide incremental productivity benefits and opportunities where AI can materially improve a process, workflow, decision, or business outcome. You can assess opportunities objectively and recognize when AI is not the appropriate solution. You are a highly skilled communicator who can bridge business and technology, translate complex problems into clear recommendations, and guide senior stakeholders through prioritization and investment decisions. You also maintain practical knowledge of the evolving AI technology landscape. You understand the strengths, limitations, and enterprise applications of leading platforms and can evaluate which tools are appropriate for different use cases.
